MLB The Show 17 Video - Retro Mode Gameplay

[SchwarBear12]

Something about Retro Mode just doesn't look right with modern uniforms.

Hoping the uniform selection screen is there. I'm using exclusively, nothing but throwbacks, and occasional modern-throwbacks in Retro Mode.

I want to be completely immersed in D'Backs purple and the Rockies old solid black "Rockies" throwback alternate.


Highly doubt it's in, but hoping beyond hope there's some Expos throwbacks on the Nats. Probably not, but it would throw Retro Mode over the top.

I was hoping we'd get a domed stadium with AstroTurf. I don't think metronome was turf or any others in the game. Astrodome or Kingdome next year would be great with old school unis.

Looks fun. I'm a little younger than you guys, the first MLB game I played was in 04. Don't think it'll get a lot of playing time, maybe just to get Trophies/Missions but otherwise I love that camera view. Will be using that as default fielding/in play offense canera

I saw the same thing and thought it had to do with playing on offense versus defense. Strangely, I'd think it would be switched if anything (ball is whiter on defense).

I'm always for options though and hope it can be switched, completely enabled, completely disabled, etc. Somehow I doubt that though.

the camera angle for this mode is nice. wish they had it for all the other modes.

My 12 year old son who loves Baseball Stars and RBI 3 from the NES is salivating over this mode!!

Old school baby.
