MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Every Uniform in the Game Revealed & Much More

[Blzer]

I don't know how to explain it, but... this looks like a PC game!

Are we sure this is on a native PS4 and not on a Pro? I'm not actually questioning it, but rather I'm in shock over the visual fidelity this year's game is offering!

I'm going to also have to check Target Field from last year, but that grass looks really good to me right now. They must've been playing with it a bit, for sure.

Well....PS4 is based on x86 architecture and this is the first year the game has been developed solely for the PS4. So it's not really unusual that this year's could draw PC comparisons.

I think they mentioned previously that everything we're seeing in previews is from a devkit, which is pretty much a normal PS4 with the dev tools. Not Pro.

First part of the stream was mostly DD stuff I wasn't interested in, but there were some decent takeaways...


1. I need to get the tweekable dev option for slider testing. lol

2. Ball physics and new defensive animations are as advertised. Some amazing hits down the lines. Being able to line up your momentum into a throw from the OF is a big deal. I also haven't noticed if the suction-into-OF-wall animation is still there or if the catcher late swipe tags are still as prevalent. Nor did I notice the overdone OF shoestring catch animation. I wasn't paying extremely close attention either.

3. The numerals on the back of the jerseys did look to be a bit higher, but we'd really want to see the Yankees or Red Sox home unis without the names to be sure. This doesn't bother me as much as it bothers some of the uniform snobs in here though lol.

4. I think they just meant re-coloring when they refer to "grass tech" ??? I haven't noticed any change to grass texture, but the grass color does look brighter. Holding out hope for a bit more "grass tech" on the March 23rd graphical improvements deep dive stream.

5. The OSFM guys are going to love having 50 roster and 50 CAP save slots. I think it was 5 and 25 last year.

6. SOTS slide said it's 20% louder which will bring more immersion to TV rooms across the nation.

7. Cubs blue didn't look overly dark to me as a couple of others stated. Also have to factor in lighting of the dark editing screen vs daylight.


I feel like we've gotten a full cycle worth of development already before even seeing the changes to come in presentation and franchise mode. And hearing Ramone respond "either you came late to the stream or you're not good at paying attention" was LOL-worthy and worth a watch.

Hopefully the Astros Minute Maid park center field renovations made it in the game

You cannot pick uniforms in Play Now Rated, and yes, game room games do count towards the profile. Sorry we weren't able to answer these during the stream - It can be difficult to see questions in the chat, because of how fast it can scroll sometimes.
