MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Improvements & Animations Expansion

[ShowTyme15]

Went back to watch the video. noticed (at the 3:58 mark) Ken Griffey Jr. and Jackie Robinson's retired numbers are missing. Could have been an earlier build obviously. Just pointing it out in case it went missed in the stadium feedback thread.

I suppose you're right, but since this only deals with the AI we wouldn't have to worry about the bickering from manual fielding guys, only auto. If a user takes the wrong angle and runs past a wall ball, that's on them.

In Millennium's breakdown of the vlog he said he got the impression that taking correct angles to the ball was going to be more important this year. If that ends up being correct, then the route a user takes to the ball on a carom will become VERY important to successful outfield play. Can't wait to see whether that's the case - it should be pretty evident right from the first time we start seeing live gameplay (i.e. tomorrow)

Yeah, I like the one of Citi Field where you see the fans going in to the park. They should expand more on outside stadium shots if you ask me!

Might be smart to install that feature with an on/off switch. I would use it. The only ones I knew to be obviously wrong for sure was CF at AT&T Park which said 382 FT in '16...should be 399 FT. Also, Busch stadium was 336 FT to dead center in '16 and should be 400 FT. Listening to Hawk Harrelson, I see... Sometimes those duck snorts can stretch into Texas leaguers, or even cans of corn. A bit farther and you can put it on the board, yes. But when the good guys grab some bench....[total silence for 8 minutes]...he gone. Mercy.

I just hope humanity based AI, is also ratings based.... which would be off the charts incredible. Good fielders, good outcomes. Bad fielders, bad and drive you insane outcomes. But a on/off option is always a good thing

Yeah. I was going to say 99% sure but that went to 100 when I saw their offline image - the '17 broadcast schedule. It'll definitely be on that channel.
