Yaaaasssssss. Those vests with the white cap and the away grey with red pinstripes. The Barry larkin days. Then those pre 2007 unis for the reds that I initially hated, but now kinda miss. (The Griffey era reds unis) when they added black

We need a throwbacks wish list. Also it's recently that the throwbacks have frozen because a few years back many throwbacks changed annually.

So, I was about to express how completely confounded I am with how just about every thread on the MLB The Show forum recently being either a discussion about uniform accuracy, or being turned into a thread about uniform accuracy. This Little Things stream thread is a great example: uniforms were just one thing they covered for a few minutes in the 1.5 hour stream, but it has gotten by far the most attention in this thread. The double play animations, the bunting demo that crashed, the universal profile overhaul, challenge of the week info, etc, have all been buried by uniform accuracy discussion. There are literally hundreds of uniforms in the game, but there can be pages and pages of discussion about the undershirt color of a particular team's road alternate 2 uniform set or the thickness of the piping on the sleeves of a teams throwback home jersey or something.

But then I realized when the Franchise stream happens in a couple weeks, all of the uniform and equipment accuracy addicts will probably get just as annoyed with every thread being a Franchise mode discussion or being turned into a Franchise mode discussion.

So never mind...

4 weeks to go until release day!

I think the nature of the reaction is due to a few things:

1 The team sort of hyped the uni slot changes going into the last stream and for at least some of us the results didn't meet that hype.
2 Uni geeks tend to obsess over detail and fans of various teams are going to know exactly what their team's unis should look like. It also shouldn't be an especially difficult thing to implement so people aren't going to be very forgiving.
3 Many players completely ignore several of the little things discussed in the stream. I'm one of them. Not gonna begrudge other people liking those parts of the game and the developers discussing them but I have nothing to say about them myself.
4 The animations are so self-evidently improved that many people straight off said they were buying the game after seeing them. That kind of reaction doesn't tend to lead to protracted debates. lol

Yes because no one that cares about the uniforms play franchise mode....

The reality is, the more the they improve the game, the more other things stand out as needing improvements. Uniforms are about accuracy and realism. It's hard to play a 162 game franchise when you know your teams uniforms are wrong.

That is not true. The Rangers in 82 home games wore white 44 times. Only 19 of those times they wore red undershirts, or about 23% of all home games.

EDIT: So we are all clear, this comes from the Texas Rangers' game notes, produced for the media by the club itself:

White w/blue: 26
White w/red: 19
Red (all home): 27
Blue home: 8
Blue road: 35
Gray: 39
Holiday: 4
Throwback: 2

So you're going to come on here and accuse the developers of lying? They said that all the uniforms in the STYLE GUIDE are in the game. Unless you have access to the style guide then you have no way of knowing. If you do have access to it please provide us proof. I suggest you go back and re-read the thread and then maybe you will have a better understanding of what the style guide entails.
