MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

[RandyBass]

So let's see... My guesses here...

-more of a story mode in RTTS
-more personalized celebrations
-more realistic physics on hits down the line
-more athleticism in the fielding animations
-Yankee Stadium The House That Ruth Built
-Classic players in Diamond Dynasty (which I have never played, so I don't know if they're already in)
-Some sort of Statcast system
-Some gear upgrades

The only thing that would drop my jaw at this point would be a create a stadium feature. Either that or a more robust GM mode with among other things a longer draft and playable minors down to short A. Maybe with PS3 and Vita out of the way we'll eventually see those things.

I know a lot of people are saying the graphics need to be updated. Maybe my eyes aren't as good as they use to be but I think the player models and all the graphics are fine. What about them needs to be changed? I'd rather that time be put into putting new features in the game.

I guess you're not the only one whose eyes aren't as good as they use to be because I think the player models and graphics look good.

The player models are looking a bit dated at this point IMO. There are only a few different types, eyes have this weird zombie-like look under certain lighting conditions, and the "fat" models still look like the jersey is stretched over their skin, a'la the PS3 days. If you look at someone like Sergio Romo, who has a fairly unique body type in real life, The Show's version really looks nothing like him.

Still, I consider these things to be fairly minor in the grand scheme of things. The Show never disappoints and if we don't get new models this year, I'm sure it's still going to be an awesome game.

Because in a pre-build, they're probably not using PBR (Physically Base Rendering) from what we had in 16 until closer to final.

Hoping to hear more so I can continue my save file into 17. Now, back to my MLB 16 season..

I do as well. I'm hopeful that with the pro, the game will be a stable 60FPS and that includes cut scenes.

If they can implement HDR the proper way along with a 4K resolution, my body is ready. I'm drooling at the thought of the show in 4K HDR on my Samsung 8500.

I think it's way to early to judge 17 this early based on the usual 1 minute teaser we get around this time every year. However I have to admit based off of this teaser I honestly thought I was watching MLB The Show 14, 15 or 16. The graphics seem to be stuck in quicksand as in they are not progressing as fast as we all would like it to. And what makes this teaser even harder to watch is the fact that some of us now have the more powerful PS4 Pro and if that is pretty close to what it will look like on the Pro then that is going to be very disappointing. I am confident the gameplay,ball Physics and so on will see some nice improvements as they seem to do with every new version. But until I see other wise I expect the graphics to once again take a back seat to everything else and once again have that Late PS3, early PS4 type of look if you know what I mean. Maybe it is true and we will not see that "next gen" graphical look until PS5. Having said all that I am as always still really excited and looking forward to 17 because even though it may basically look like the same game year after year I know the gameplay will better and more new animations that at least make the game look more realistic in motion.
