re: MLB The Show 17 Impressions

Played a few carried-over RTTS games thus far, but I am enjoying the game. I have noticed, again I'm not sure if this is a product of the RTTS being carried over from 16, but it looks like the pitch-count glitch still exists pertaining to quick counts not adding to the pitchers pitch count. Can anyone that has started a new RTTS confirm?

Definitely wont be a shortage of home runs this year. Everything is a 450ft moonshot. Playing on all-star batting and pitching.

Does anyone else agree?
So the show is easily my favorite sports game and so many of the features announced made this sound like the best iteration yet. Let me preface by saying I've had the game since Saturday. In that time, I have seen zero "cat and mouse" gameplay, stealing bases against the AI is nearly the same as 16. Throws are smoother but I don't see guys jogging nor do I see fielders appropriately timing throws. Lastly, while there is more hit variety, fielders still run down most balls. The game just feels too much like 16. Does anyone else notice anything different?

I don't agree with this at all.

My thoughts are still formulating as I want to really sink into all the modes, and give it a fair and thorough impression/review. I want to let the new car smell sink in more and then really give it a clear assessment without the thrill.

Because right now? It's incredible and I will just gush like a giant fanboy LOL!!!

I need to play many games, modes and take it all in.

Early impressions though?

GOAT sports game.......and it's not even close right now. They seriously slayed it this year.

We truly have a next gen baseball game with MLB 17 The Show. No if's, and's or but's.

DOes the ball seem like it "floats" to anyone else? I don't know how else to describe it but pitches seem slower and more "gamey" from both the batter's box and pitcher's mound. The ball also seems to come off the bat and out of players' hands slower when its in play.

They have been making the pitch speed slower every year since I started playing the game. The year they opened up the timing window (14/15?) the ball started to feel and look floaty as well, and its been getting worse every year.

Not really surprised the trend continues.

Installing now and will test immediately when I am able.

- Hit variety is a big bonus. Can't stop to smile everytime i see a base hit after a blooper.

- Some fielding error here and there, which is good. There's no routine play in baseball. I'm still on the fence with double plays: beautiful to watch but too many gold glove plays.

- Better graphic ( faces, player models ), more vibrant colours and better lighting.

- Too many monster HR's, they should reduce the power on hitting a little bit.

- PCI seems to be a lot bigger than MLB 16. Maybe i'm missing something ? Look at the two screenshots.
Chase Utley has 36 contact vs L and still have a huge PCI. I know Clayton has a low K/9 but it's like contact rating doesn't matter at all. All Star level.

Everybody is talking about an opening video, mine goes right into a tutorial.

After you get the full install, close your application and reboot the game.


Incredible intro.

Best ever.

I actually had tears welling up. Such amazing memories of my childhood seeing many of those things live as they happened.

Just amazing.

I'm enjoying the game tremendously! The new and added fielding animations make the game look and feel more realistic.

One small recommendation is for them to add the "New" Retro '17 hitting Camera angle to regular modes. The Retro cam for fielding is amazing!

re: MLB The Show 17 Impressions

OK - after playing the full game after install, I am relieved that the choppy frame rate and lag are pretty much non-existent. Although, cannot access HDR mode...is that a PS Pro or TV thing? (HELP PLS) Very happy with the hit variety, fielding animations, etc. This is the best game yet. Hitting rivals 14 (the one with A-Gonz on the cover). you feel the pull or push of the bat on ball. Scanned over a few faces and am VERY happy to see some players make it in to the game that just looked horrid last year. As a met fan, was blown away with Matz, Gsellman, Conforto, Plawecki... Great job SDS and Sony for putting out another excellent baseball game.

That intro should be the intro for every MLB broadcast ever.

re: MLB The Show 17 Impressions

I have pitch speeds at 10, and I'm disappointed in the sound the ball makes when it reaches the plate. It barely cracks the catcher mitt and doesn't feel like it's coming in at 90mph. It seems less intense than '16, though only slightly. It wouldn't be hard to fix the catcher part. Just make the ball hitting the catcher's mitt sound more authentic.

The video finally played, it was chilling, very cool.

re: MLB The Show 17 Impressions

Just fired up 17 again. Watched the intro for the second time (which is 1 more than any other edition's intro). Man, that's really a special, special thing, SCEA. Misty eyed yet again.
