MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Gameplay, Animations & Retro-Mode Deep Dive

I was also expecting/hoping for a lot more out of this stream. Hopefully they'll figure out a way to get it together for the rest of them.

The ball physics, catch and throw animations will definitely give the game a fresh feel, I am really excited for that!

After watching the bunt portion of the stream I am not convinced that is fixed. The success ratios may have changed but the execution is still too perfect down the line. On a successful bunt the ball is still traveling down the line like it is on rails when close to the foul line. Not seeing any tracking towards fair or foul territory. I was hoping the improved physics would address that, but on bunts it gives the appearance that it is on its own system which I am sure it is not. Hopefully it can be fine tuned further. All in all looking good!

I don't know if anyone else caught it, but there was a moment towards the beginning, when they were showing off the new ball physics, where you see a little bug pop up that says something along the lines of: Arrietta vs. Kipnis 2-24 (.167) Hopefully, this is part of the new career stats presentation!

I don't remember the players they used to bunt, but there can't be that many players in the league that can lay down perfect drag bunt. I do like that there were more misses, but maybe it's still too easy.

Yeah but it did appear that they had it on beginner difficulty so hopefully that had something to do with it.

Does anyone know where I can watch the replay? I missed the first 30 minutes or so of the stream.

Pretty disheartening to see the slo-mo Bullet Time creeping into the other options and modes. Seems if you use meter throwing you are stuck with it.

I can only guess what kind of a circus RTTS will look like this year.

The ratings probably have not been done at all and we know there not final at this point, but maybe they should adjust the bunting attributes even more now from when they changed them from 15 to 16.


On MLB THE SHOW 16 the basic bunting attributes was around 25/27 and the good bunters were rated with Billy Hamilton at 99/99 for bunting also Leonys Martin had 99/99 with Aoki 59/59.

Maybe it is something the SCEA ratings personnel (Luis) can adjust to a players real life skill for bunting within the last 3 years.
