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.

Absolutely agree. This mode needs throwbacks as an option and I don't see any way they can't have them in there. Let's hope they do.

Will be using that as default fielding/in play offense canera Sent from my iPhone using Operation Sports

This actually makes me wonder how many younger fans will enjoy this mode the way it's meant to be enjoyed. While many younger fans might think it's fun, if your first baseball video games are one of The Show games then you have no clue what the nostalgic factor for a mode like this really is. Playing Ken Griffey Jr baseball and World Series Baseball and RBI '94 are childhood memories that I cherish.

Yeah I've only seen videos of those games and they look like a good time back in the day. But you're right, when your only game has been MLB on PlayStation I don't get that emotional attachment that others do. But I see a fun, simple way to play head-to-head with a buddy in without all the intricacies of the actual game.

That was the first thing I noticed, too. And the follow throughs looked different for each pitcher. Amazing.
