Played a couple games in retro mode and I absolutely love it. What are your guys thoughts? I really wonder why it's just exhibition games. Is that right? I have looked for a way to play a season without any luck.

I like the regular game too but this is a nice twist.

I wish the on screen stat display could be used in season mode but with regular button pplay not the retro one button
I like the hitting, and being able to move in the box
I do not like the pitching, as I enjoy the full complement of the the pitching game as it has been in the last few years. I also hate pitching from that camera view but since this is a couch game against a buddy, he aint gonna wanna hit from a pitchers camera view.
I hope this isnt a one and done, maybe sds can expand on this next year.If not, I hope it at least will stay for years to come. I give retro mode a solid B+ in its first year.

This mode is great. The ability to see all the animations and physics at work is so much fun and it looks like a real game from this view. But its a one-off mode. You play, its crazy fun, and all the stats are for nothing. No way to carry over anything.

I believe they should flesh retro-mode out completely next year and add the ability to play franchise. Its just so good, I want to play it in franchise.

They would need to add full options of course: generated counts, replay, sliders (super important to dial in stats), commentary, etc. I also would need to mute that ball sound effect and would be nice to have fielding camera which shows the ball in flight vs. just watching a shadow. Here's to hoping (along with additional camera options (my personal pet peeve)), that they continue expanding this mode.

I merged a few threads that all seemed to be heading in the same direction. Just trying to clean up a bit.

Retro mode is fantastic..

I played it for a bit the other day just to get the trophies for it. Really not a fan. Probably won't touch it again unless my son wants to play.

If they can add a simple season mode I would be happy.

Oh and an online option to play against friends.

Retro mode is awesome. If your old enough to remember how fun games use to be with out all the unnecessary stuff. This mode is genius. Madden and 2k need a retro mode in there game. Hope 🙏 it catches on.
