MLB The Show 17: Retro Mode Details, Regional Cover Athletes Revealed



Ramone Russell posted a new blog on the official Playstation Site talking about some new details on Retro Mode in MLB The Show 17:

Quote:
Retro mode is pretty much a one-button mode, but with surprising depth, and all the new animations, gameplay additions, and improvements found in the regular version of the game.

For example, in an effort to simplify the batter vs. pitcher battle, we’ve taken all the pitching attributes out and boiled them down to velocity, break, and control. Because there is no high and low in the strike zone, you have three pitches at your disposal that you can trigger with the touch of one button. To throw a fastball you hold down on the left analog stick and press X. To throw a changeup you hold up on the left analog stick and press X. And to throw a slider you press to the left or right on the left analog stick after the pitch is released.

One of the wrinkles we’ve added is that velocity is controlled by holding down or up on the analog stick just before the pitcher releases. In closing, you choose velocity before the pitch is thrown and you can affect movement (left or right) after the pitch is thrown.

Also revealed are two regional covers for MLB The Show 17. The Canadian version of the game will featured Aaron Sanchez and the Tawianese version of the game will feature Wei-Yin Chen.

You can see the covers below!

What i noticed is for the sponsor pack, the equipment only says for RTTS. Does this mean no more created DD player this year?

As a Canadian I have to be honest I am a little disappointed in the cover. Although I am a Jays fan, Ken Griffey Jr. was my absolute favourite player to watch growing up and it is a bit strange to me that just because we are from Canada we have to have a different cover. Oh well. The cover is kind of meaningless anyways! I am sure the game will be amazing regardless!

Agreed, I was looking forward to the Griffey cover.
