MLB The Show 17 Trailer, Retro Mode Details Revealed

Man, I don't know how some of you guys can remember what features were added in what year, what minor nuances fluctuated this way or that in 15 vs. 13 vs. 16, etc. They all just blur together for me!

Probably because for some of us it is a sickness. I was just having a conversation about this game with a friend at work. Started crunching some numbers for an average. So with The Show 16 figuring on average of 1.5 hours a game for franchise so far this year I have logged over 970 hours finishing 4 years of my Nationals franshise. That is not including Spring Training and the multitude of Minor League games I have played. Nor does this include my RTTS careers, of which I have 3 and one of those is in his 6th year.

So I guess if your play a game that much it kind of sticks in your head, you know.

Does MLB The Show 2017 have real or fake hitting? Meaning I have total control over where the ball is hit if I swing properly, for example ball down the middle I place the on screen PCI inside of the ball to hit it the opposite way and with no assist.

I saw a guy playing MLB The Show 2016 and it looked like at the last split second the game placed the aimer by itself, can you disable that if it wasn't him doing it?

The game doesn't move the pci. Any late pci movement is a twitch by the user. For your first question, yes zone hitting was greatly changed in 16, you would hit the ball the other way if you were inside of it.

But the game does move the pci for you if you're using classic guess pitch and guess correctley.

Actually the PCI could move up or down on its own based on your timing. Up early and down late.

Yes that's correct, but not what the guy was asking.
