Now whenever Joe faces that team in his career he will have some extra motivation.

I'd like to see more drama like this when facing the opposing players to help give those batter/pitcher matchups a little more meaning.

I'm trying to find a good example but maybe imagine as a pitcher you serve one up to Bryce Harper and he gives you a stare down while running around the bases. You have that registered in your memory till the next time you two meet.

Also it seemed strange to still see a picture of Daniel Descalzo in a Cardinals uniform. He has not been a Cardinal since 2014.

Looks pretty badass... I'm gonna create a cocky pitcher like the dude from Summer Catch.

Or like John Rocker. Lol

Narrator gives off a solid Ron Howard Arrested Development vibe.

*player refuses to sign, goes back to school*

'“Buster so excelled at being neither seen, nor heard, that he remained at the school, undetected for a full two semesters after he was supposed to graduate.”

*forced to sign as undrafted free agent for $5K*

I love this! I just really hope we get some info on how this will work with existing RTTS careers on Thursday.

Pictures on player cards haven't been updated for years...I'm pretty sure that picture of Descalso is the same one he had in MLB11.

I wonder how many cutscenes and choice selections we'll get as we progress further and further into our careers.

It makes sense that there's a lot in the beginning as a minor leaguer trying to make it to the the bigs, but I wonder how much we'll see when we're 27 or something and a perennial all star.

I also wonder what these choices will look like for a pitcher. What differences will there be (if any) between a position player and a pitcher in terms various non-linear trajectories based on your choices?

All in all, I'm excited for some new life being brought to RTTS! Can't wait to see what's in store!

For a pitcher maybe being asked to move from the starting rotation to the bullpen or vice versa.

I hope so! I always enjoy when I have the fortune of having a RTTS pitcher getting called up to the bigs who spends time in the bullpen before cracking into the rotation.

I planned on making a SP in RTTS in '17 but as many of you asked, I don't know how much of a PYP a SP can have. Especially if they're pitching well. It'd be unlikely to ask them to move to the bullpen if they are having success in the rotation.

Maybe ask you to change pitches? Like drop your slider from your repertoire and start throwing a curveball instead. Or maybe ask you to drop lower in the rotation because they want to give another prospect more innings? Just throwing some ideas out there.

Maybe Mike Trout should have spoken up like Joe Random,
he coulda been somebody, he coulda been a contender.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - What's New in Road to The Show (IGN)

Was worried with the RPG aspect to RTTS it would be like NBA where our "path" is already paved for us. I should know by now to trust the guys at Sony, good to see we are really able to pave our own path. That conversation with the Angels was hilarious

You. (Angels won the division when they drafted Trout :wink: )




Jokes aside, it'll be interesting to try all different options out, I'll mostly do all the good options but I wanna see what'll happen in some situations with the "bad" ones.

I'm definitely excited to see pave your path expanded on in future iterations. Maybe give us a rival in the future. Like as a pitcher we have a hitter we face off against, and pitcher when we're a hitter, and we can be cool to each other, friendly rivals or I wanna beat this guy down kind of rivals based on how we the player respond.
