MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

[R9NALD9]

Will skip it this year...super disappointed that the game will look the same and super outdated again.

Not going to spend money on maybe more stats, some gameplay tweaks and retro mode that will be funny for 10 seconds.

I'm a bit baffled though and not trying to be negative...but back on ps3 I was always amazed about the amount of changes and improvements the Show made from year to year...but on PS4 the addition from one edition to the next has been very minor...

Holding out to next year

To me, maybe the only thing more disappointing than the strong knee-jerk reactions to 1 minute of video is the barrage of posters that feel the need to discredit any negative opinion at all. No need to make this into a Jets vs Sharks thing. Everyone can have their own take?

As for me..

+StatCast baserunning/fielding may have been integrated to some degree (top speed, 2nd-to-home time, route efficiency)
+NB cleats
+Ball physics implied to have balls hook into the corner on grounders down the line or curl the opposite way (fade/hook)


-Graphically about the same (both player models and grass)

If 1 minute is enough for you to decide you don't want it, then so be it. Get off the forum and stop complaining about it. The negativity does absolutely nothing for this forum except piss people off and deter from constructive conversation. Sent from my LGLS991 using Tapatalk

I guess it'd be a perfect world if we all had our safe space. Sorry, I'm not gonna worship a game that hasn't made any real improvements in quite a while. It's getting stale really quick. And a minute is plenty of time

On the flip side, there are a ton of people who are super excited off of the one minute trailer. I feel like if it's enough footage to be excited by, it's enough footage to be disappointed by. For what it's worth, I feel that way about preview footage in general, not just The Show.

Are some people going overboard with it? Absolutely, no doubt. But I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed that it looks like we still have the same handful of player models. I'm not swearing off the game or anything because I know they'll bring it on the field, but I can see where people are coming from on the other side. For now I'll keep hoping they've made some improvements that just aren't ready to be shown off yet.

I would be lieing if I wasn't a little bit excited about retro mode. I look forward to playing a head to head game with my nephews. I really need to see major improvements in franchise mode and presentation.

If Online Franchise goes untouched for the third straight year....cmon SCEA.

Feeling disappointed that they did not upgrade for the PS4 Pro capabilities...at least it looks that way.

I will reserve final judgement until I know more about what they did improve in gameplay on the field. There was a laundry list of requests and items the community asked to be tweaked or fixed. Most very legitimate. Let's see what they decided to do about them.

Until we get closer it is hard to form an opinion on the upcoming release in total, but I am a bit miffed on why they appear not to have bumped up graphics to coincide with their own PS4 Pro, or at least trumpet that if in fact it is coming.

I would be remiss if I didn't say that the teaser trailer that clearly says "PRE-ALPHA BUILD" and was released on DECEMBER 3rd is not the huge disappointment here. The huge problem is that people do the same thing every year when the first trailer for next year's game is released. Constructive criticism is great. However, it seems more like bandwagon trolling now in this thread. There is a reason why you do not see SDS hardly here anymore. Speak your mind but have tact with it. This type of thing happens on reddit (which I never go to), it should not happen here.

As for the trailer and as someone that has always used Jr's batting stance in every baseball game I have played, it was dope. Saw some things I liked and some things I didn't. Eager to see what's been added to '17.
