Another screenshot of MLB 13 & throwbacks...I wish

[Seltaeb9091]

I'm just hoping that the Giants get more than one throwback for once. New York road, 80's home, late 70's pullovers, anything!

Something that I think would be really cool on the ps4 (maybe not even till ps5) would be to have the old fashioned feel to when playing with throwbacks (or at least an option). MVP 05 did this where the screen looked like an old film while you were playing and the crowd dressed appropriately. As good as the throwbacks get, it still feels like playing in the modern day with old outfits (which is fine sometimes).

I believe it is a memory issue, where they can only offer two throwback uniform slots. Most likely with the ps4 we will see that expanded and hopefully see the uniform creator added in somehow. SCEA probably wants to try and have the throwbacks more in line with what people want to see for their teams.

What they should do, IMO, is get rid of the BP home and road uniforms to open up two more slots. These are never used unless you are playing a designated Spring Training game in RTTS, Franchise, or Season. Then you have guys like me who never use them even during ST games because some teams in real life don't use them.


By the way, do we know if we will be able to choose our uniforms in RTTS this year. It was said to be in 12, but that didn't make it in.

My guess is that more screenshots will be released until launch. I will ask is there a list of the new throwbacks yet? If so are the road mid 80s grey Tigers uniforms available? Yes I know and yes I am seriously asking, I really am excited for this game, you will understand when you are married doing a boring job of mortgage banking for 60 hours a week like me.

We're only positive of those six on the first page. The Braves old throwbacks might be the 1933 Boston Braves uniforms based on the socks B.J. Upton is wearing. Those definitely weren't the ones worn in '72.

Awesome any information that we can get is appreciated

[b22gamer]

What's the word on lower-style stirrups?

Re: MLB 13 The Show - Dev Journal: New Throwback Uniforms

None yet. I would be surprised if they were in this year. The Zimmerman pic shows the same high ones while the B.J. Upton pic shows socks.

The uniforms in the pics look really nice. I hope the light blue Cardinal uniforms from the 80s make it in.

I just hope the gameplay and animations are correct, so that we aren't looking at '12 with new uniforms.

[SkillzKillz719]

Nice little touch! As the younger part of OS, I never saw those teams play in those years, but whenever I play 2k13 and see a jersey from 2005 it makes me smile and I use it more often than not because that's what I grew up with!
Just adds more variety!

Hopefully they'll add the 1984 or 1978 uniforms for the Cubs.

[Reed1417]

I dunno I think those Mariners "turn the clock forward" unis are pretty nice. Then again I am 20 and have never seen those before so that maaay have something to do with it

Unfortunately that's all they had time for this year. They only have one department and they decided to do the throwbacks as the big improvement.
