MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Presentation & Commentary

[YankeeDynasty1998]

I'm so happy to see they FINALLY moved the numbers up on the backs of the uniforms. Should make the Yankees look a lot better.

The catcher animations also look great and much-improved. The catchers have a lot more life now, and move differently depending on the pitch/situation.

Okay, now that I got to go to the archive, here are three sets:

First half of the stream was good. Disappointed in the 2nd half because the 2nd half of the stream was hijacked. Ramone came in and he wanted to talk about everything other than "Presentation and Commentary". Kind of hard to follow the new commentary when people are talking over the game commentary. Kirby tried to keep the stream on topic, definitely not disappointed in his attempts. But I guess he does not have a high enough pay grade to prevent the stream hijack.

I will just have to wait until the 28th to see and hear the rest of what Kirby wanted to show us, but couldn't.

Hopefully the coaches wont be wearing jackets in Texas in the middle of summer.

Now that I can watch the archive, I can say... THIS GAME HAS THIS!!! I am seriously so stoked! EDIT: Oh, I didn't mention I couldn't make that post because my laptop did an automatic restart for updates. I hate it when I lose everything like that!

I wonder if every stadium will have "Stadium tagging" this year? I asked in the chat but I guess the devs didn't see it. Like someone else said the chat was moving real fast.

Haven't finished watching yet but in one of the early videos they played, they had a player hit a HR and Matt Vasgersian sounds stale and without any emotion at all.

I'm guessing they all will, though some might be more restrictive to just "stands, bullpen, second deck," etc. just because there are some places a ball simply can't land.

I'll have to check and see if "concourse, facade, batter's eye," etc. were things to look for in tagging. I am beyond stoked about this feature though. Hopefully it continues into replay a bit (that's what ESPN MLB did at least).

Agreed. Was going very smoothly and I was learning things about the game that I never knew, and then chaos ensued and it turned into a jumbled mess.

I like Ramone, but this stream was going just fine without him.
