    Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed - Gameplay, Graphics, Diamond Dynasty & Mor

    Russell had mentioned something a few days ago about some graphics info coming out on the 13th(today), so I'm guessing he was well aware that GI was dropping this much info.

          Also I'm very curious what the PS4 Pro will bring. Doubt it'll be something as big as better cloth physics (but I can hope). However if it's simply a constant 60fps across all gameplay and cutscenes, that would be enough for me to upgrade.

          As for DD, looks like I will not be playing much DD this year. I was hoping for a better offline way to play, but it looks like that ain't happening. Was hoping "Seasons" were going to be that, but it's for online play against other humans. The exact thing that has turned me away from the mode over the last year.
          I agree. I love the card collecting mode and playing with that team. However, the lack of Offline modes has been pushing me away from it. I like Online Head-to-Head play but it gets very annoying and frustrating at times, also my internet speed isn't great.

          Though maybe Seasons offer some decent rewards that I'll have to get involved in.

            This game sounds epic already! Can't wait to see what they did with Franchise

              "Things affecting the ball physics and behavior: The location/height of the pitch, ball speed, where the swing is, the height of the batter, angle of the bat, velocity of the bat, spin of the ball, and more."

              We saw how many different hits in the Twitch Stream last week in a span of 10 minutes, with the same batter and fast ball down the middle.
              I can't imagine how many we could see throughout a week span using different hitters, pitchers, pitches, stadiums and atmosphere

              "The grass patterns in 2017 are no longer faked like in 2016. They change realistically depending the camera angle and how the light is striking the field."

              If this means what we think it means, the game is going to look that much better....

              "Player Creation

              The old 17 heads used through the years are gone and have been replaced by 49 heads based on different archetypes. "You won't see any more of those monsters," says Russell.
              There are 22 new facial hair sets, including some modeled after players such as Josh Donaldson and Dallas Keuchel.
              The number of hair styles has been expanded (mullets, mohawks, rat tails, African-American hairstyle types, etc,), including old-school hairstyles.
              The team is doing different body modeling for the game to represent more body types. This includes a new husky body type and sliders for hips, glutes, shoulders, and spine length in the player creator.
              Player-specific animations can be mixed and matched, so you could have one guy's home run celebration with another's batting stance."

              Yes I copied the entire Player Creation section because it all sounded like the improvements all of us have been waiting for. Music to my ears
              Especially love the mix/matching player specific animations.

              "The new optional catcher throw meter for pickoffs"

              Really hoping made this optional even with Meter Throwing

              "Ball placement in the throws is being tweaked, as Russell says the ball placement for the accurate throws is off a little." ???

              I don't quite know what this is referring to (pitching, fielding?) but it sounds like a nice improvement

              This is lining up to be the best iterations of The Show EVER

                I'm terrible at heads/faces so I am extremely glad to see there are now 49 instead of 17 to choose from.

                    Really bummed to hear Pro info coming soon. I am really not ready to upgrade to a new TV and system. Gonna bother me knowing I'll be playing a lesser version of the game possibly.

                        But regardless if this GI article was supposed to be published now or not (I'm pretty sure Ramone did an interview with them like this last year, didn't he?), I'm really looking at all of these things as pure gravy. I honestly was happy enough just knowing about the new ball physics. Now seeing again it being mentioned about much more detailed Park Effects for all stadiums... Oh, yeah, baby.

                              The improvements to the graphics and player creation have me very excited for this years game. 49 different face options should go a long way in making created players actually look and feel different. Especially with the added hair and beard options and body sliders. Created players might actually look drastically different from each other this year.

                              The only problem i can see is for carryover saves, how it'll effect the created prospects that already exist in 16', and how that'll impact OSFM also.

                              Uniform detail improving is huge, i hope the slider for sleeve length refers to jersey sleeves and undershirt sleeves and compression sleeves, so we can finally replicate 4/5 length sleeves like Bryce Harper, Matt Kemp, Anthony Rizzo, Marcus Stroman and Yoan Moncada wear (those are just players off the top of my head).

                              Spoiler


                              Hopefully part of uniform improvements is the option to wear unbuttoned jerseys as well.

                              The face skin textures look so much better too, really impressive stuff so far, hopefully the body sliders are used for real players as well and not just for player creation.
                              I hope you're right about sleeve slider meaning compression, etc but the way I read it was only uniform sleeves.

                              I hope Im dead wrong.

                                Nothing about team creation for Diamond Dynasty? The current logo and uniform editor leaves way too much to be desired. Was hoping for a setup similar to NBA 2K and their team creation model.
