MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

[underdog13]

One think I'm worried about is hopefully the Rookie Version of Griffey doesn't have the stats that were shown in the retro mode. Hopefully that is the Prime Griffey.

While seems like a small concern, this past year was probably the worst and most inconsistent in terms of player attributes that I've seen in a sports game, and that prevented me from really enjoying Diamond Dynasty.

Thanks, I'm not looking to pick a internet fight with someone over a video game. I'm just expressing my disappointment that another year goes but and The Show hasn't switched things up. With MVP Baseball apparently never coming back this is basically all we have... and it seems like they are not willing to mess with the formula. The games looked basically the same as it has for the last 5+ years with just a few extra animations thrown in.

A fleshed out RTTS is what I've been waiting for.

The graphics engine wasn't a huge deal to me as it is for some of you, but I do agree that it is antiquated and they need something new.

Really no different than people being 100% positive and excited about a game based on a one minute trailer.

I agree with this somewhat, the look hasn't changed much but it doesn't look like a PS3 game as some people like to say. Personally I don't mind it as long as they get rid of the annoying animations that hinder the game (i.e, the wall suction animation and INF not charging when necessary.)

How will a retro mode bring in younger fans? That doesn't even make sense.

If anything it would be to capture some of the older audience they may be on the cusp of losing.

Definitely agree about the wall suction animation. Would like to see that addressed. Turns so many doubles into triples sometimes.

I'm almost positive equipment isn't final yet (it wasn't in last year's trialer) but as of now looks like the only addition is New Balance so far, from what I could tell.
