maybe its just me, but what enhancements can there be? outside of 4k up scaling and HDR (which even the regular ps4 has now) I'm thinking that the PRO isn't going to bring games to new heights and make them look radically different to their non pro counter parts. (its not like the pro will have 1000 different fan models, while the regular ps4 only has 500) In my opinion the PRO is only good for is slight (barely noticeable) visual resolution, bigger stock hard drive, with slightly better load times.

I'm sure we will see/hear about the "enhancements", if available, the Pro will provide to The Show '17 in due time.

We still have over 3 months til release.

One thing that I personally love better about the Pro then the standard is noise levels. My PS4 standard version sounded like a jet engine at times when playing MLB The Show. There is no noise at all as far as I can tell when playing MLB The Show on the PS4 Pro even after several hours of playing . I literally need to put my ears right next to the PS4 Pro to hear any fan noise at all. That alone was worth the upgrade for me.

Plus very noticeable boot times and even game loading times seem a little faster The PS4 Pro just looks like it's made with higher quality parts.

As far as MLB The Show 17 I have a very good feeling that when you look at the game side by side on the standard and pro you will easily see the difference. Maybe not a night and day kind of difference but I am sure the Pro version will look much sharper with better color and the like more photo realistic.

I don't know, but who needs a retro arcade mode in The Show 17 ? They work on a pretty close deadline and it seems to me like a waste of time to invest resources in something like this. It's like they're worried about the boringness of baseball. But baseball is baseball. Just have faith in your loyal customers, give us quality and authenticity: you will be rewarded

Just a guess but I don't think it took to much development time away from other things when creating retro mode. I am very happy to see retro mode as I think it will be a nice alternative way to play MLB The Show.

The RBI guys have to be concerned about this. I've never played any of the modern RBI Baseball games but I loved the NES classics and Retro Mode should scratch that itch. I wonder if they'll shift their focus to mobile.

I was thinking the exact same thing will there be any reason to play RBI Baseball any more? Because this looks a lot like that but with better graphics.
