[RaychelSnr]

As we attempt to wait patiently for March 28 to finally get here so we can dive into MLB The Show 17 ourselves and see how this year’s game measures up, we’ve been treated to the usual series of developer streams in the meantime to whet our appetite ahead of its release. While it may be impossible to gauge the game’s components without actually holding a controller in our hands and feeling how things actually play, that’s not going to stop us from making some snap judgments based on everything that we’ve seen so far. Here are the three best and worst things we’ve noticed in our initial impressions of the highly anticipated release.

Retro mode is very niche. I wish the Owner Mode-like features stripped out after MLB 12 would make a return. Madden, NBA 2K, and NHL all added the feature in during that span. Even FIFA tracks jersey and ticket sales now.

Im interested in retro even though Im not the biggest minigames fan when it comes to sports titles, but considering how much Ken Griffey Jr is involved in that and how much I adored Ken Griffey Jr Baseball 64 there's no way I'm not giving this mode a chance. I'd like to see fantasy baseball in on season modes too, that would be an acceptable mini game to add someday.

I respect them for not bringing in cheesy owner mode features though, they mentioned it before that when it does come back someday it will be fully featured or much closer to it than before.

I see Retro Mode as a "Couch Co-Op" mode with your buddies. Without all of the intricacies of playing the full game. Good way to just relax and hit some dingers against your friends.

I've got to question Harold Reynolds being one of the 3 best, of course you are entitled to your opinion. In my opinion he's one the 3 worst. I'm excited for the MLB Network, and with that network tie in SDS had access to one of the great commentators of our day, who is very knowledgeable about the game of baseball and very funny, John Smoltz, everything Harold Reynolds is not.

Except he is better to listen to than the atrocious Karros/Hudler combo they had throughout the years. For me, removing those two and adding two better known voices is a step forward. They are still well behind the play by play with Vas.
