Re: MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Featured

Okay, not that it's any of my business but is MythicalGnome = ZealousMonkey = khronikos?

EDIT: Nevermind, my question may have just been answered. I do wish for greater detailed ground textures as well, especially if the Pro handles things smoothly enough in 4K. Either way, there are still visual jumps there that I'm pretty excited about.

I actually watched the trailer while proctoring SAT's (don't worry, only two students left and they're being well-monitored haha), but that means I didn't get any audio. Did they tease any of the Retro Mode music in that part of the trailer? If so, any linking to Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (SNES)?

Could this possibly be a Create-A-Team option??

Looks like we may have some improved groundball physics in bounce and how they track.

I love the names on the batting helmets!

And also in the opening few seconds..........."You're killing me Smalls!" I busted up on that one

Then add the Wild Thing haircut from Major League? They had fun with this one.......

My .02 of the trailer... new celebrations, new animations (like when your major league talent corner infielders just can't stop a grounder), beef up diamond dynasty (cause look at the dough fut and mut make), a novelty act called retro mode, and a few more legends. Hopefully game play is improved, things like rainouts and rescheduled games are added, and uniform errors and slots are corrected (which I doubt. Textures look same). As a franchise geek, I am willing to bet it's more or less a roster update with a few celebrations. It looks like resources were focused on casual gamers (retro) and dd players. Hopefully I will see more as march approaches. My gut tells me I'm dead on though

New create-a-player hairstyles finally. Looks like a lot of added player personality/emotion building off of last year, and there were a couple shots of hits down the line so i'm wondering if that is the dev team showing that the no 2Bs down the line has been fixed (although only one of those grounders actually tailed into foul territory). That has been a pet peeve of mine with the game for a while.

Always hard to tell much from these sort of trailers for sports games, you could probably whip that up using 16 and I'd struggle to tell the difference. The only real thing there is the "retro mode" which might interest some people, but I'm not one of them. Cool to see Griffey, but not a whole lot of info on what Griffey being on it actually means? (just another legend in DD?)

Looking forward to more being revealed about other game modes though and maybe some actual gameplay footage instead of the cinematic replay stuff

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.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

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.

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