I can’t tell you how many classic rosters are now lost to being carried over with this decision.

Not a single word about this. This is a huge huge huge letdown.

I will still play 17 for all those amazing rosters we have. But wow.

I've played season mode exclusively going years and years back, and have been playing my season file since '16.

No way in heck I would've bought this year's version had I known.

It's a crap move...not to say anything about it. If they want to remove it, fine, but tell us, please. It doesn't take much effort, does it?

Hitting feels very smooth. The way the ball comes off the bat definitely feels more natural.

High Frame Rate mode (or "Faster" as they call it now) feels a bit different now. Last year it was like butter, and for the most part it still is, but there's a slight hitching after some plays. Will have to give it more time.

DeRo sounds pretty good so far.

Something I noticed right off the bat in RttS, if your player has the attribute of being a pull hitter, the defense will finally play you as that.

Graphics are a nice step up on the ps4 pro from last year. I'm surprised they didn't give this more attention on the streams- though obviously it's hard to show on a stream and they weren't using a ps4 pro most of the time.

One of the better looking ps4 games now- just shows there was more power in the ps4 pro they could take advantage of.

This game is beautiful.

Only took a little BP, so these are very very early impressions:

Graphics look good. Everything just feels more polished to me.

Pitch speed seems to be slower (I've got it the slider at 0). I'm thankful for that since my reflexes stink in my advancing age.

The tiny bit of gameplay in BP felt fine to me.

SunTrust looks better than last year.

Going back to MLB 07, I've always just played Season mode. Wish they had kept it. I liked the simplicity. I'll adjust to going full Franchise, but I'm still bummed it's gone. And yeah, it would have been nice to have gotten a heads up about it being removed. I feel for the guys who were planning on carrying over their seasons from MLB 17.

OCD thing, I wish BP didn't count in the Profile stats. It'd be cool if my stats were only my franchise games. As it is now, I'm averaging one hit a game, since that's all I got in my limited BP session.

Cardinals red is actually correct this year. Not the dull red it used to be.
