MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

[Lisac]

Still don't think this is the yr we get create a stadium (believe we won't get this til PS5)
With old Yankee Stadium in hopefully we get more retro Stadiums like
Metrodome, Olympic Stadium and others and hopefully more realistic looking minor league stadiums.
Not concerned with graphics yet as long as they fix ball physics, make wind realistic again and fix things like base running, and 1st and 3rd baseman not fielding balls correctly when it's hit right at them, and more balls hit down the line

The only new retro stadiums we'll probably get is Metrodome, Yankee Stadium II, Sun Life Stadium and Shea Stadium since those were in last gen. Even possibly Turner Field.

Excited to see old Yankee Stadium returning. Would love to see them add the stadium it's original form as well. Pre 1970s renovations. Also glad we finally hand New Balance cleats.

Some of you have made comments that you think the ball Physics looked improved. I honestly have no idea how you can see that in this teaser trailer? I mean I am confident that the ball Physics will be improved in 17 but I really see no evidence of that yet in this teaser.

The only thing for sure I got out of this teaser is there will be a lot of new player celebrations.

Does anyone else think this player model looks different than the ones that have been in the game for years and are throughout the rest of the trailer?



Maybe I'm looking too far into things, but the way the jersey hangs off the players back doesn't look like anything I've seen with the current models. Maybe it's possible that there are new player models or updated cloth physics and the game is still at such an early point in development that they decided to go with the old models for this first trailer, other than this scene which may have been added later than everything else. Anyone else see what I'm talking about, or should I take off my tin foil hat?

Have you ever seen the ball slice off a ground bounce like it does at :20? Look at where it hits in front of the plate versus where it ends up heading to as it bounces toward the camera - slicing away from the baseline. I'm pretty sure I haven't seen that kind of movement before in this series.

Mid air slices/hooks have existed for a long time, but once the ball hit the ground it usually lost its spin and straightened out. This kind of ground ball movement is what can cause baseline hits to spin into outfield side walls (and away from fielders), resulting in more unpredicability and extra base hits.
