More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

[capa]

One thing I hope they do not do is move all the oldtime, classic stuff (uniform, equipment, etc) into retro mode and out of the regular game. So if you want to use a certain throwback uni you have to be in retro mode.

They probably would not do this, but I could see them considering it since the space for alternate unis have filled up for the most part. If they moved some of the throwbacks to retro mode only it would free up space for more alternate regular unis that may not already be in the game, or that are new for 17.

That would still take up disc space, which is why I assume they limit the number of Jerseys. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

I would imagine that Retro used the same uni files at regular mode. Looks like it is more a camera angle and controller differences to me.

Hopefully, with them dropping PS3, that limit will go away. Or go much higher at least.

I think I remember the NBA 2k devs saying that, in order to get around the number of teams relocated / uniforms modified, that they were using their servers to help store some of that information - not the hard drive, or game disk.

This means that you would constantly need a connection, and the servers would need to always be up, but couldn't that be another option for expanded uniform slots in The Show?

That could be another option. Personally Jerseys aren't the biggest issue, so I would prefer not to be connected to the Internet 24/7

True. But what they could do would be to include any jerseys that the team wore the previous season on the disk, but then store additional historic uniform slots [or even created uniforms?? ] on the server for those that want to use them.

Could be a good compromise to expanding number of uniforms available, without using up precious disk space.

I would be ok with that. It could be an option for those that wish to use "additional" uniforms. Be it historic or custom. Maybe a uniform vault like rosters/sliders have?

Please tell me the Cubs don't still have the "100 years of baseball at Wrigley Field," patch on their sleeves in MLB 17. Baez has it on his sleeve in the video.
