That has been a pet peeve of mine with the game for a while.

im surprised you didnt know new hair styles were coming since just shortly after the release of '16 Russell made a post for what kind of hair styles would people want to see?

My thoughts

Loved the attitude/ 90s feel of the trailer, those team celebrations looked great.

Those base hits passed the bag looked to be a shout out to OS on making those turn more into doubles.

The enhanced rtts interaction at the beginning looked amazing. The #1 thing I'm looking forward too. Honestly was a bit upset about the lack additions to rtts and franchise the past year so I'm glad they are doing something big and hopefully more "sim" with rtts.

The voice over by in the rtts clip gives me the impression based on his tone that rtts will be harder this year to improve your guy, but maybe that's too much analysis.

I liked the OSD's color palette. The overlay showing Heyward's top speed is something i would usually only expect to see in NBA 2k.

They showed monument park which possibly implies we will get a big Yankee star for yesteryear in the game. Mantle, Gehrig, Ruth, etc.


The faces looked really good on the players. I could easily tell who everyone was.

Anyway those were my thoughts.

Gonna hold out hope that the grass finally gets addressed in the final build this year. It's been an eyesore for years, especially compared to other textures.

Retro mode looks suspiciously like RBI Baseball lol.

Here is an interesting thought. What if they also got the rights to Ken Griffey Sr.? I know he wasn't nearly as good, but he carved out a pretty cool career in the majors. Would be fun to play with both of them.

Cannot wait to try out Retro Mode.

They used the Orioles roster for the Erie Seawolves in the RTTS clip....

Just noticed the Show track info on the Jason Heyward clip showing running speed and time to Home Plate along with a trace line showing his running path. Maybe this will also lead to more in depth commentary about events in the game?
