MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

I cant remember if he was or not but I really hope Vlad makes it into this next game. Vlad, Griffey and Dowd (or w/e his name is every other year) would be nasty

Dowd? As in John Dowd? Pssh, give me Reggie Stocker any day...

Like others, I'm hoping ball physics have seen some upgrades. And like others, if this trailer follows the pattern of the last couple years, the quick appearance of something slightly different sometimes hints at a change to be announced later. So those quick glimpses of those hard ground balls hooking down the lines hopefully is leading up to an announcement of even more upgrades and refinements to the ball physics.

Like Ramone implied, maybe we'll learn more when they do the rewind on the trailer?

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

looked alright to me, but nothing to make me leap and scream about either, i mean this is why i said what i did over in a madden thread, the expectations of video games is out of control now, i mean really its only been 5 years and people are already saying ps4 is old i mean what ? are you kidding me? they bring out a ps4 pro and a new xbox s, which both imo is not worth it at all, yeah new chip sets, but games are not running at a real 60 fps 4k capture, i mean its just ridiculous to me where gaming has gone.

next year xbox scorpion, you got all these virtual mask you strapping on ya head & face i mean, you got all that and its still not progressing, and i see the same thing with the show, yeah it looks good but so does 16 at least good enough for me, i'm sorry but all of these game company's are doing the same exact thing all to get that $ and i'm stopping it for myself, until i see some real innovation im done and i dont mean with sony i mean buying and supporting gaming period, i'll play what i have.

there are people ranting and raving right now about how the ps4 original model is getting the shaft over ps4 pro, because games on that system like the last guardian and final fantasy are doing 20 -25 frames per second less than the newer system, which both games are very average at best imo not to mention this no mans sky that was suppose to be the game that was be all end all game of the year....... and i'm not going to even get started on this virtual in game mess, and im not just speaking the sports genre's this pay to win crap all over is just silly...... stuff that should be coming with a game is not, and people are being very gullible to it, i have even been caught up with it myself, its just im at the point where i finally see it and im sick of it.....

look its your money, you spend it how you please, for me i'm done there have been a lot of people asking for the montreal expo's uniforms in this game, hmn promoting a retro mode? i wonder are they in the game after what 6 years of asking ? retro stadiums? smh... im on a wait and see with this game this year, and that goes for all games from now on, done pre-ordering stuff... i have not nearly seen enough to hype me through the roof like i've seen some people posting here smh..

edit..

oh and the close up cams, players dancing animations close up sliding animations those have been done in years past... these new ones just has more color added to them and the motion is faster and not slowed down... so whatever i guess... i aint buying it until i see solid foundation and so far it aint there, i can pop in sega or nintendo for a real retro experience...

I noticed a new hairstyle. Some crazy Simon Phoenix from Demolition Man mixed JT Marsh from Exo Squad hairstyle.

Same faces though. But that's unavoidable. Can't allow players to upload previous RTTS saves and make you rebuild their faces from scratch...

I mean, I would do that. But that probably wouldn't play out well with the hoard of perpetual complainers. I'll buy this. Play it for the long boring summer months between the NBA finals and end of NFL preseason and then trade it in for credit for NBA 2K18, same as always. Heh.

Game still looks good though.

I plan on finding a way to rip the background music for Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball (SNES) and putting it on loop when playing Retro Mode.

Maybe I missed it - but do we know when the rewind will drop?

No date/time has been mentioned but I went back and looked at the time difference between last years trailer and the rewind and it was about 10 days. So maybe Monday or Tuesday?

[Bunselpower32]

Small sample obviously, but it looks to me like the animations are STILL choppily put together; you can very clearly see the breaks. Also the models and animations and everything all look similar. Which makes me scared that, once again, the game is running on the exact same engine with another coat of paint, which does not bode well for ball physics and hit variety.

There was a shot down the line that seemed to be featured, so I hope that means that maybe I'll see one get to the corner every once in a while? That didn't happen once last year, outfielders were way too quick to the ball in the corners to where getting doubles was really too hard. But I also worry that it will just happen all the time and thus be a problem. I'm cautiously optimistic.

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

outfielders to fast to balls in the corner...catchers get out of their stance to quickly...to many balls hit the pitcher on comebacks!!!!!!!!

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



That's all I can really do after reading that. Holy crappola Batman.

We have a robust roster making community who provides amazing classic rosters for our enjoyment every iteration.

The other things you speak of.....they have already said doubtful for most of those for years now.

Get over it.

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

Then don't buy the game. It really is a simple solution. You went about that post all wrong. It's a video game man. Not the end of civilization.

I am curious to see gameplay footage myself and check out how much ball physics have changed, but that's the reason we hold out for new info... we're willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

For instance, I just saw some shots there that shows they are still rolling with their own form of a dusk sky, one which I'm not a fan of (when it gets all orange and brown and such before getting into blackness, instead of a deep-seeping blue), but I'm holding onto hope that they jump into different design decisions down the line and they just haven't finished with it yet. Also hoping someday for that authentic broadcast cam. These are small things for some, but big things for me.

Nevertheless, something keeps bringing me back to this game. That must mean it's because it's a great product, no matter the "staleness" that has plagued it for others. This trailer grabs me, yet again, like they always have. The Retro Mode is something that I'm looking forward too, though... so long as it's not just a camera change with some 8-bit music.

yeah....im one of the roster makers that made rosters from the 1950 season to the 1980 season....and they were good...others make very good rosters as well....but why not have the real likeness and real uniforms and real ball parks and real divisions...you can't play the 1969 season, because their is no way to get rid of dead team...their wasn't 30 teams in 1969...same for 1980...you can make fun of my post...but you either love baseball or your just happy playing a video game that can be so much more...thats fine...but i expect more

MLB THE SHOW IS PROBABLY THE BEST SPORTS VIDEO GAME...and thats saying something, with games like fifa and nba2k....but why shouldn't i want more out of the game....i don't want to simply buy roster updates....i want to be able to send my manager out to argue...like mvp baseball 2005...i want to be able to challenge any play, not have computer pick and choose...I WANT FREAKIN RAIN DELAYS and going back to the studio for a Honeymooners RERUN....haqhahahahaha....i love baseball....i want it all

Just to add onto your point about classic rosters. I honestly don't think SDS could make better historic rosters than the ones we already have. I've always been blown away by the detail and quality of the Caps. Especially the faces, it takes me an hour to make a rtts guy look like me. Yet these guys make photo realistic faces for tons of players.

ive made about 30 season rosters...takes me about 3 weeks to make first season...and then as you drop down in seasons it takes me about a week....its hard work, very hard work....and their are a bunch of good work combined and solo by the community ...im not arguing or debating that, but you can't use old time rosters if you can not customize the league....my beginning point was simply the retro mode in this new game looks useless to me ....
