MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

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

Exactly. For example, when did they start teasing gameplay vids with PBR turned on prior to MLB 16? Long, long after the first trailers were released. In fact, not until they got well into the developer blogs and twitch streams did they actually start showing off PBR. People seem to think that a quick teaser that comes out more than 3 months before the game's release is somehow representative of a finished product.

While it's true that they rolled out PBR gradually last year, it did not fundamentally change the look of the game from the initial trailer to release. PBR was used in key spots through stadiums, such as the rocks at Angel Stadium. But the basic elements, from player models to grass to whatever, were not substantially different.

I expect the game to look better at release, but those who would like better player models and a completely next-gen look are probably not going to see it. It could be worse though. In my experience the graphics in games gets worse from reveal to release.

All I want is better performance on PS4 Pro.

Retro Mode!!! Gonna be able to complete a 9 inning game in 20 minutes. Love it....All you young'ns need to go buy a Super Nintendo and play Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball (1994) to prep for the Retro Mode.

You say that tho like its a fact, maybe in these forums yes you are right, but this community is minuscule compared to the number of the show players. I am not saying you are wrong but there is really no way of knowing. I could be wrong but haven't the sales numbers increased each year over the past few? I would think they have more insight on it.

I would rather see a trailer with what you were saying too, but I think sometimes here people don't see the bigger picture, the game i want is probably different from you want even if its similar in a lot of ways and thats just between 2 people.

They have indeed, and yes it seems a large % of OS hasn't been able to see the big picture for a very long time.

those liners down the first and third baselines might indicate an emphasis on ball physics

I'm willing to say it's guarantee that they have improved the slice and hook on batted balls.

In last years trailer they showed 2 shots of pitchers avoid hit balls. Then they announced a new feature was improved pitcher avoidance of batted balls.

These were straight shoutouts to the Sim community. Top complaints that they addressed. The casual user might not pick up on it but we surely should as least.

It's too bad those improved sales haven't equated to an improved product.

Improved sales have led them to buy the rights to all the legends that make DD great.

And it's too bad dev interaction have equated to respect from the OS userbase.

That's okay - because I can fix that.

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

I have no issue with people being upset. That's their right. It's the way people troll and present themselves about it. The sense of entitlement is always so strong this time of year. It's like, "Well you didn't put what I want in the game when I want it and that is unacceptable."

I do not blindly support this game no matter what. There are things I would like to see addressed just like everyone else. I just choose not to call out developers and trash them year after year for not doing something. Most of the people complaining are still going to buy the game anyway and then complain some more. Rinse and repeat next December. People can feel however they want to. There's no reason to be disrespectful about it though. Whenever improved graphics come along it will just be on to the next thing that is unacceptable to not be done.

I remember when closed roofs not being in was all the rage. Now it's graphics and player models. Which aren't even half as bad as ppl are making them out to be.

Brb gonna cry now. Stupid Tapatalk lol. Is there a way you could see the original comment and copy paste?


My tldr cause i deleted my post version is.

Everything in that trailer was a large community wish. Also there is a reason DD is getting content updates in December. Franchise and rtts aren't the only modes with die hard fans.

Also - there isn't much to put content out for in December for Franchise/RTTS. At some point you need to put all of your development to 17 for modes like that.

Content in DD are cards. Not new game modes or gameplay issues - cards. Doesn't take much outside of card art and face (which they have most of already, nothing to create).

Your definitely right, cards aren't huge resources, so maybe that isn't as big of a deal. I don't remember if they went this late last year.

They didn't. And the support this year has been (mostly) received well by the DD community.
