The Three Best and Worst Things We Know About MLB The Show 17

[tbook24]

Ken Griffey Jr. baseball type retro mode for a game featuring Ken Griffey Jr. on the cover is a perfect fit. I'll like this mode to go with my rtts.

I can agree with a lot of this but I dont believe sales would double at all. I'm sure there would be some who would buy both version, but probably most (including me) would only buy one.
Put me in the offline camp. The only thing I need from online is the roster vault and any patches SCEA put out lol

If it didn't take any time then fair enough

Yes if you watch the Retro mode stream they say it only took a day to implement the new mode.

I am really looking forward to the many improvements / additions for 17. I find it interesting how some equate a feature as being bad because of a lack of interest in it.

The only thing I am not enthused about is the art direction on the new OSD's for the pitching mechanics. Actually all the mechanic OSD's need work because their art style lacks a common theme throughout. As the game has matured and developed these have not and their style looks odd with the rest of the game.

That's no different than the Majestic logo, just in a different place. UnderArmour is going to be the new supplier, just like New Era is the supplier of the caps.



If a half-dollar sized logo on a uniform interrupts your ability to "enjoy the game of baseball", then that's completely on you.
