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

Loved seeing this also. Been hoping for newer animations/presentations during walkups, in the box, hr and run scoring celebrations. Always pumped to see the new and reworked stances/deliveries and animations.

I see when they played CPU vs CPU the baserunner window was still present. I miss the days when I could put on a CPU vs CPU and see nothing but the scorebug (very TV broadcast like)...I was hoping for the possibility to turn off every icon, notification, etc. and only have the scorebug during gameplay (me vs CPU offline), but seeing it still on CPU vs CPU gives me little hope...but it's still early. Nice animations for sure though.

I've been hoping for this for years (and position players pitching). Crossing fingers!

I can't remember the first year was when we could turn everything off (I think MLB 15?), but I've been able to disable baserunner windows every year since getting these games back in '09. Don't see why it won't change now.

Speaking of which, the baserunner window is a perfect example of this game being WIP. They obviously (or likely) won't look the way they do right now when the game releases.

Anyone know what the Nike batting gloves that Kipnis (and a lot of other players) is wearing are called?

Nike Swingman Pro (Vapor Elites)

From an equipment perspective, I'm 95% sure Zobrist was swinging a Trinity Bat Co. bat, and it looks like Rizzo had that multi-color "lizard skin" bat tape that a ton of players use now. Those are two nice and unexpected additions, if so.
