MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

[Blzer]

Very exciting new video for the things they showcased! I'm going to reserve judgment for things they have yet to show off like player models and such, because so many different things can happen between then and now. I'll hold onto hope for other things though, like they didn't show any nighttime games so perhaps it's something they're working on.

Most impressive things were the ball physics changes and Heyward's throws after he caught. They've had pretty lackluster outfield animations for a long time, but these actually looked like an outfielder. Very awesome!

I scrolled down your post looking for:

But alas, it seems you genuinely were uncertain, so I'm just glad you got answered.

Very excited about the physics, though part of me is wondering why they had the "physics based on a wall" system for so long, when they were so obviously flawed.

But I'll focus on the positives/future. This trailer alone makes this game a must-buy for me. These are the gameplay improvements I've been waiting for. I can't wait to pre-order it already. The new physics and revamped throws (both fielder and catcher) are HUGE.

When I watched this today I was like





I'm not giving up hope on additional player/uniform changes later in the roll-out; they might be keeping some things under wraps for a more relevant vlog.

Been excited for 17' since the first trailer hit. Now, I'm over the moon. MVP edition already ordered a month ago. I'm so ready.

Really liked what I saw in the video. Can't wait for the stream on Thursday.

I hope it's not there in the final build. And actually I was hoping for a much more improved Scorebug then what is seen in this video.

I gave all this feedback about the Show logo to the designers...keep an eye out in the future

Looks awesome. Can't wait to take the Tribe to win it all this year in franchise mode. I wish they could add the under armour logo to the undershirt if you want instead of the nike logo being the only option.
