MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

[earthlight897]

Not paying a dime till they fix the atrocious, stale, decade old commentary. Matty V's voice sets the game back 10 years and Karros is even worse. Would be nice if pitchers didn't get drilled in the back from line drives every other game too. Update the post game animations that are the same after every game since 2010.

Actually that comparison fits perfectly. I am not talking about WHEN something was released. It's just simple statement that says when you have something to reveal, show your latest stuff. Don't hold back and surely don't show something that is old when you have something new in the queue. 7 years old or 1 year old, show your NEW stuff. And I do hope that there is some NEW graphic changes to show.
We all want to see a great MLB game right? Who doesn't want to see progress?

Dude is on the cover of their game and they can't even get his jersey to just say "GRIFFEY" and not "GRIFFEY JR."

That's embarrassing.

Also can I get a regular block font in DD please. I'm not the Red Sox or the gimmicky clown baseballers.

Collecting digital baseball cards, dynamic lighting and Matrix slo mo doesn’t impress me. All of the classic ballparks have already been created and recycled from the PS3 build. Show me the old Yankee Stadium with the Ballantine scoreboard and I'll get excited. I bought the last three games day one, so I can express a little frustration here with this years huge addition of R.B.I. Baseball mode and NB cleats. What this game desperately needs is a commentary system similar to what Madden has. You don't need Joe Buck or Harold Reynolds. This will help the grind of the 162 game schedule. The regular season games need to feel unique (like the NBA 2K series). The menus absolutely have to be improved. Roster management (scouting, minors, etc.) needs work as does the AI of the computer controlled teams. This isn't wishlist stuff here. Rain delays and better crowd animations are. I'd love real sponsors (Citgo anyone?) and classic teams, but I understand the financial hurdles there. I am not interested in individual classic players. I don't want to integrate Jason Giambi with my Nationals franchise. I also don't give a fig about Ken Griffey Jr. The money Sony gave him could have been better spent elsewhere. Speaking of which, can the menu soundtracks be dropped? Yes, it's a one minute trailer with pre-beta footage. However, when has the final build ever looked significantly better? Another member asked why with three months to go is there little information about this game. It's a great question. They have no competition. What little they did have (R.B.I. Baseball) has been addressed. I want this series to evolve. Even NHL is making tremendous strides though after that catastrophe two years ago, there's nowhere to go but up. NBA 2K is a benchmark and Madden is excellent. Singing Sony's praises every year isn't going to change anything. Jersey wrinkles aren't ground breaking.

This is all fine and well, but your claim was that the last two years were nothing but roster updates. That claim was shot down and you responded with a wishlist.

And just because something doesn't "impress you" doesn't mean it isn't important to others.

How does Matty V's voice set the game back 10 years? I'd be a very sad panda if they ever replaced him. The dude is all over MLB Network these days, so he's even more relavent than he was 10 years ago...by a long shot.

Yes, I hope for more fluid, dynamic commentary, but don't get rid of Matty!

That said, I definitely agree about the post game animations. There needs to be more of a variety instead of the same stuff every game.

Actually what is embarrassing is you don't know your facts, just your opinions. Griffey did not add the Jr until later in his career.

best part about the complaints about this mode is that everyone is going to forget about is as soon as the next piece of news drops
