    If they were really serious about Retro mode they would have done Bases Loaded and put Oko on the cover!!! ;-)

      While I personally doubt I spend much time with retro mode I can't really see a downside. They need to continue to find ways to bring in new players.


      As we have seen year after year there are people who are dying to play some video game baseball but inevitably find hitting in MLB the show to be too hard.


      Shoot maybe I will play some retro mode. I play Super Mega Baseball occasionally just for some arcade style BB fun.

        Would have been a nice gesture by the folks at SCEA, to put Jose Fernandez on the cover in the Florida markets, and Ventura in the KC market.

          Every state doesn't have its own market though that's not really a thing. They would just have to make all 3 covers available all over the US or something.

          It would have been nice; I'd like a JF cover, but I can see where it would create a lot of unnecessary work for SCEA.

            I think Retro mode will be a nice little addition. I think it will be fun to couch play with friends for sure. Shoot, if there is a simple season mode, my son and I may have to do a short season in it. I may even be able to get my wife and daugher to play that mode with us. So, I do see the mode being fun for sure.

            Although, I will say I could do without the "retro sounds/music" in it. LOL!

              I'm really hoping there is some sort of season mode within Retro mode. If not, my buddies and I will draw up our own leagues and play and track stats/standings just like the good ol days.
              I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

              I miss the old days of Operation Sports :(

                Actually, that may be more fun when I think about it. I have an iPad app that I use for real baseball games. I may use that.

                  Can you play with directional buttons, or do you have to use the left analog stick?
