MLB The Show 17 Gameplay Video - Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees (Full Game)

[bodhiball]

game still lacks drama and emotion. Which is weird, because its being advertised this year specifically...and they actually HAVE some of that emotion animation in the game, but you dont really get to see it.

Sanchez hit that bomb, and in the Show Track replay you could see the bat flip, but why not show that animation up close, focus in on it and the emotion of him crushing that ball?

Gregorious singles to lead off the bottom of the 9th down two runs, and....nothing. He just dusts his pants off.

I know its not a playoff game, but even regular season games have emotion in them.

These guys have spent so much time mo capping and putting these animations in, but you hardly see them.

Game looks great again, keeps improving every year, but to me the excitement, drama and emotion in this series has been so dry for so long. It really needs a boost. It feels like robot versions of your favorite players coming to the plate, hitting, going back to the dugout, repeat.

I already knew about Mizuno bats. I was referring to the Mizuno Batting gloves. Yes, I meant Marucci batting gloves for Bautista.

The game looked so smooth and natural.

Yeah this is how I feel about high fives for other in game situations as opposed to only seen when hitting home runs.

I was hoping all those new animations would carry over to at least a high five when a runner crosses the plate. But based on video the holding of the helmet when a runner crosses the plate and passes by the batter in the on deck circle is still there. This has been in the game dreadfully way too long!

Let's not forget that Ramone mentioned they removed all of those long running into the wall animations in the outfield!

Maybe that is because they are trying to show off more new stuff, but going based off of last year it leads me to believe they took some stuff out rather than expanding on brands already in the game. I hope I'm wrong though. Doubt Mizuno batting gloves are in. Joey Bautista wasn't wearing Marruci batting gloves in the video either. Also doesn't look like Adidas batting gloves are in either. Every video/stream we've seen with a player that has Adidas cleats has a generic batting glove. Hopefully they actually show all the equipment tomorrow. Also, every video/stream we've seen the players that wear Nike Huarache has something different on. and I haven't seen the Nike Vapor Elite batting gloves that guys like Adrian Gonzalez and George Springer wear that were in 16. Everyone has the Swingman Pro on.

Man, that will be disappointing if they removed equipment instead of expanding. Maybe it's a memory issue and they have to remove stuff to add new stuff.

I'll hold off full judgement until tomorrow. Hopefully they show all the equipment in the game so we can get confirmation on some stuff.

We won't be showing all the new equipment on Thursday's stream but once the game is out you can check for yourself.
