Not sure how much I like that they are using time on "retro mode" right now.

But I would rather more time be spent in adding features to Franchise mode than player models and grass texture. But that is just my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like to see some improvements to franchise mode to and the radio show thing last year was a start and I would like to see that became more like a highlight show and they also need to bring back setting tick prices stuff that used to be in the game. But game play wise this game is so good. There are only about 3 things that need to be improved game play wise. 1 Bullpen management, 2 when you bunt with a guy on first even if the bunt is not good the CPU will still throw the ball to first to get your guy out instead of throwing to second to get him out instead. Last it is still a little to easy to throw strikes when pitching. Ever thing else game play wise is just about perfect. When it comes to the graphics I don't know how someone can say the show's are not worse then NHL or that they are close to NBA 2k its not even close night and day differences. Its like comparing a great looking ps3 game to a great looking ps4 game.

I don't think it looks like a ps3 game it could be updated and I really want to see a lot more game play improvements as that's where my focus is when playing the show every year is playing as many games as possible. Can't wait to hear more about this year's version which wasn't all given out in a 1 minute trailer Dec

The point is they are all sports games and while its true that the amount of players are different in different sports games that didn't stop MLB from having by far the best graphics last gen and yet know are behind. So if the amount of players is a issues then how came that didn't stop them from having the best looking game last gen?

You're exactly right. The player models and graphics need a facelift. The stadiums look great, but player models compared to NBA 2K and Madden look like clay.

With the Pro out, I hope we get some sort of Pro patch to improve textures for players, but we shall see.

Regardless, you're not wrong. Graphics needs a boost in the worst way.

Haha, players name at the beginning is Smalls. If the manger doesn't say "You're killing me Smalls" it's a lost opportunity.

I just bought a PS4 on Black Friday (because of a deal I couldn't resist). I've played the Show since PS2...including on the PS3 last year. IMHO, 2016 on PS3 was a great game! So great in fact, that when I also played it on PS4 last year I was not really motivated to upgrade to the PS4 version. Maybe they did just too good of a job on the PS3, but the "wow" factor in the leap from PS3 to PS4 just isn't there for me. Even after 3 years of development on the PS4!

Watching the 2017 trailer I just felt like "hmmm...I hope that somehow the Gameplay really takes a big leap forward this year" because that is where the "wow" factor has the biggest potential to come from (again, based on the trailer). The graphics, animations, presentation, atmosphere and announcing in 2016 on PS4 was so similar to the PS3...will 2017 on the PS4 blow 2016 on the PS3 out of the water?? I hope so, because 2016 on the PS4 did not blow 2016 on the PS3 away. It's a big reason why I was able to hold out on buying a PS4 for so long!!!

IMO, this development team is known for taking "small, incremental, yet high-quality positive steps forward." If they continue on that course, people are not going to be blown away by 2017 graphically. I don't think there's any denying that the trailer "suggests" that much.

None of the opening trailers have ever talked about franchise mode.
