MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

At the end of the day what I'm seeing is that they are neglecting the needs of a very large group in favor of another. If you keep catering to the DD players you will eventually lose your franchise guys because you've done nothing to keep them. I'm sorry but Griffey being in the game is stupid to me.

I love this game, its the only automatic video game purchase for me and im excited for '17... but i understand why people are frustrated. They over promised and under delivered on the ps4.

I remember the devs saying that so many things that people wanted would be done when the ps4 came out. Extra uniform slots, uniform templates, player models, roster slots. I could go on and on. All of these things were impossible due to the limited capacity of the ps3 and would be possible on the ps4.

Now 3 years into the ps4 and many of those things havent been addressed. I get it and im frustrated too.

If you can play Griff in RTTS or some sort of custom career mode, then I'm definitely interested. But otherwise, I've never played DD. I guess maybe it's time I finally try it.

I play some franchise some rtts and some dd. I wouldn't consider myself anymore important than any other person who plays this game or what their wishes are. Some eof the stuff I see on here I think is silly ppl really care or want those things but I know to each their own and don't think since I was able to play in the 1990s when less options were available makes me original or real.

Catering to the DD players generates revenue, which helps them improve all aspects of the game.

Accidentally hit post before i was finished. I also wanted to say that i recently picked up a copy of '14 for the ps4 and it was unplayable compared to '16. '16 looks and plays sooo much better.

What gaming company uses its revenue stream to better other parts of a game? FIFA, CS:GO, and other games focused on micro-transaction modes use all the generated revenue to make the revenue generation better. If DD makes them more money, then more money will be poured into DD (not other modes). FIFA is a great example of what NOT to do...even though The Show is headed in that direction. Focus on all the micro-transactions and the core game remains the same with minor changes.

All I want is a baseball game that runs at a smooth 60 fps. Is that so hard?

How can you say they're neglecting one group for another when franchise was rehauled in the past 2 iterations? And other than new legends not much has changed in DD.
