MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

I was honestly surprised Rawling's batting gloves were in last year. Does anyone even wear those in real life? I can't think of anyone.

Doesn't really look like it was. I paused and examined every scene and NB was the only addition I could find.

I think Lonnie Chisenhall does.

So the only brand missing now is Adidas, right? Would be cool if they get it in but I won't be disappointed if they don't.

A very good point. A retro mode would be designed to awaken one's sense of nostalgia, and the younger fans are less likely to have experience with 16-bit baseball.

Retro mode is absolutely for us 30-somethings and 90s kids.

It's also an arcade mode, which simplifies the game for those casual baseball fans or fans of arcade action. That being said, if you are a casual baseball fan, RBI Baseball will be cheaper. If you aren't interested in sim baseball, why would you spend $60 on a sim baseball game only for its arcade mode?

Perhaps, then, it acts like a gateway. I've been playing arcade/retro mode and learned the rules and got the hang of it, and I have the sim part right here. Might as well go to the next level.

Other than that, the retro mode seems like it's for fans of sim baseball who are otherwise nostalgic.

You must have some amazing psychic abilities to tell that from just a 1 min trailer of a pre-beta build.

He should at least wait for a fact sheet or a developer stream to blackpill himself.

Lower level minor league guys do usually.
