MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Yeah the rain is nice this year... I randomly turn it on in a lot of my games.

I don't know if it was in last year but this happened during my Rtts. I hit a line drive to the 2nd baseman, he jumped up for it so I figured he had it. He missed it & it lined right into his face and I was safe. Immediately after the play he was taken out for what they said was possibly just a bruise. Looked at the DL after & he had a black eye. I couldn't help but laugh.

Something that i found to be REALLY cool.

Was using the Padres during a Military Sunday day game and was wearing the camouflage uniforms. During the end of an inning cut scene they did the typical crowd shot and the guys in the front dancing were wearing military gear. And when I say that, I don't mean the jerseys the team was wearing but actual military outfits.

Just found out how they reworked some Minor Leagues stadiums. At Green Valley stadium they enhanced the background and the grass. Curious what other stadiums received upgrades

One SS tips his cap to the opposing SS who just threw him out on a close play IMG_20170409_205817.jpg

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Diving caught a ball in foul territory. Runners on first and second thought it hit the ground, so they slowly sauntered back to first and second base. Ended up nabbing them both for the triple play. Not sure if that's a bug or if it's in there on purpose, but people make mistakes all the time, even in the big leagues, and I love that players aren't perfect.

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

The ball physics are a thing of beauty. I hit a line drive directly into the 1st base bag and it bounced in the air and into the outfield wall. The commentators even mentioned it, which made me look at the replay. I got a triple and a RBI off of that.

Also, the ball physics from hitting players with the ball looks so realistic.

You should have gotten a SS of that. That would have been dope to see.

I have one. I'll post it later.

Edit:



They should probably have their shirts tucked in, but whatever lol.

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

So I am playing a game last night using the Broadcast presentation mode. During the action between batter appearances, the game cuts away for a few seconds to show the fans in the stands. Nothing new here. But then one of the fans busts out into a bit of a smile. LOL ... some of the fans have facial expressions built into them.

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Something I have noticed quite a bit now, the crowd seems to cheer hits by the road team if there's a diving effort on the play. Vice versa at times at well - I just made a sort of nifty play with my SS (on the road) and the crowd cheered it like it was a hit. It's like that part of the crowd-reactions code is reversed.

I love all the customization. In my franchise mode I edit anyone who plays on the MLB roster to have high socks. Team rule: high socks or hit the road!

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

This can sort of classify as a little thing that leads to a big improvement. There are two reasons I don't turn this DP last year:

1) Humanity AI giving me a quicker release than last year

2) The sped up analog throw meter allowing me to actually preload while I'm still moving toward 3B side. The throw comes out in a smooth and fast motion because of it.

Also this, from the same game, hurt my soul (and probably fits the "little things" description better):

I'd never heard it before. Not sure if it's a new line.

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Carlos Beltran just took a first step back instead of charging in on a ball and the slight hesitation let the ball drop in and a run scored. I've also seen an outfielder make the opposite boneheaded mistake with the result being the ball flying over their head.

Wasn't even sure what the hell happened because it looked like a such a routine out and I had to go into replay to see what exactly went down. Haven't seen this before in recent memory, and its a nice little mental lapse that obviously happens in real games at all levels too.

Re: MLB 17: Little Things Thread

Not sure if this is exactly a little thing but remember when pitchers used to get drilled with linedrives every game 2-3 years ago? Me neither. Haven't seen it once this year, not even close
