MLB 13 The Show - Dev Journal: New Throwback Uniforms

[bp4baseball]

Something that I think would be really cool on the ps4 (maybe not even till ps5) would be to have the old fashioned feel to when playing with throwbacks (or at least an option). MVP 05 did this where the screen looked like an old film while you were playing and the crowd dressed appropriately. As good as the throwbacks get, it still feels like playing in the modern day with old outfits (which is fine sometimes).

What they should do, IMO, is get rid of the BP home and road uniforms to open up two more slots. These are never used unless you are playing a designated Spring Training game in RTTS, Franchise, or Season. Then you have guys like me who never use them even during ST games because some teams in real life don't use them.


By the way, do we know if we will be able to choose our uniforms in RTTS this year. It was said to be in 12, but that didn't make it in.

My guess is that more screenshots will be released until launch. I will ask is there a list of the new throwbacks yet? If so are the road mid 80s grey Tigers uniforms available? Yes I know and yes I am seriously asking, I really am excited for this game, you will understand when you are married doing a boring job of mortgage banking for 60 hours a week like me.

We're only positive of those six on the first page. The Braves old throwbacks might be the 1933 Boston Braves uniforms based on the socks B.J. Upton is wearing. Those definitely weren't the ones worn in '72.

Awesome any information that we can get is appreciated

What's the word on lower-style stirrups?

[sydrogerdavid]

None yet. I would be surprised if they were in this year. The Zimmerman pic shows the same high ones while the B.J. Upton pic shows socks.

The uniforms in the pics look really nice. I hope the light blue Cardinal uniforms from the 80s make it in.
