More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

[Bullit]

I know I have been accused of being a fan boy, more that once, but I am getting really excited for The Show 17.

I really think this one is going to be epic. I think that the team has been working on several projects for years and that we are finally going to see some of those projects hit the stage. Maybe I am being to optimistic or hopeful, but I really do feel like something special is on its way.

PS This is the way a thread is supposed to be. 7 pages and not a single troll. Thank you. It takes all of us to right the ship.

You're not the only one really excited for The Show 17.

I'm excited to know what was said but not heard during this rewind.

I hate to jump on the hype train but the players in the RTTS scene look at a lot different than those normally seen in the game. Much more of a baseball player type of frame and the uniform texture was definitely different. Really cool.
As others have said, don't know if completely new player models are coming but there definitely seems to have been some fine tuning...
we shall see

I keep telling myself that this is the year that I will not come to all the pre-game releases stuff and not do the Twitch feed thing this year but... I can't see that happening... this is too good

I have a question for the devs. Would Sony ever, and I do mean ever even consider releasing this game on the Xbox 1, being that Xbox doesn't have its own AAA baseball game? Btw, I don't own an Xbox and have supported The Show every year since The Show 10. Just feel this game should be brought to a broader audience and not just limited to PlayStation gamers.

So I hope that we can still get Griffey's jersey to just say "Griffey" without the "Jr."?

Ramone's given reason in the trailer wasn't a very good one. Players with the same last names play on the same teams all the time, and they don't change their jersey to differentiate each other. Check replays of games with multiple "Rodriguez's" or multiple "Martinez's" in recent years. No initials, no changes to the jersey, nothing.

Even if the entire Griffey household is on one team, complete with the wife and kids, the jersey should not say "jr." on it.

That being said, I'm glad both Griffeys are in.

And this is my favorite quote of the month:

Given the direction of the hit and the pitch, the cross product became the axis of rotation. This is ok, but misses a huge set of hit types, like curving hits down the line, ........., ....................... there's more to this but can't spill the beans just yet. Wouldn't be a tease if you gave out all the info right? And I had to be very brief in the rewind for flow and consistency purposes. But just know there's a lot more to this.

That is GREAT to hear, and I can't wait for more details.

This will never happen. The Show is developed By SONY San Diego. It would be like Microsoft developing an Exclusive title for the PS4.

You're overthinking this, I put Jr. on the back of his jersey just for the teaser trailer, just so people would notice it. Just to have a reason to reveal Sr. was joining the Legend roster in 17.
