I hate it too. You would think Manfred would have had some input with New Era.
I hope the cap isnt the tip of the iceberg and baseball uniforms dont turn into NASCAR uniforms.
I know thats a huge leap, and probably wont happen, but I also never thought caps would become billboards for New Era. For 25 years New Era has been a fine steward of the game but now I'm afraid their bottom line visually negatively affects MLB's on-field product.
And THAT is on Manfred, AFAIC

I think removing Diamond Dynasty Pitcher Handedness in the matchup screen could turn out to be a good thing and provide some interesting new strategy. As it is now, a lot of cards like Winfield and Schmidt are never being used. This change should also give lefty SPs like Sale, Bumgarner, etc. more value.

How many teams actually really relied on these one-dimensional platoon cards throughout an entire year anyways? One should still be able to use these cards. Just protect them in the lineup. With all of the great diamond cards available, you shouldn't have to rely on too many platoons in your lineup to begin with.

What could possibly be bad about a Retro mode?

To me the ball physics and player models are top of the list of good. Followed by the ease of play for new players bringing in, hopefully a whole lot of new players which can never be bad.

I don't see much that I don't like. I don't play franchise so that doesn't bother me and I'll check out retro for some nostalgia but won't play it much but I'm happy that the team will try every year to bring in new player and new stream of revenue to help make the game better and better.

Can't wait for the game to drop

Best:

1. Ball Physics. After playing '16 since they showed these off, I find myself saying "in '17 those hits will do this, not just stay straight!"

2. Improved Faces and Body Sliders

3. DD Seasons and RTTS PYP

Worst:

1. Retro Mode

2. Little done to Franchise

3. That's all I got

This. I've played a lot of RttS the past couple days and have been thinking the exact same thing. "In 17 that one will probably hook foul." OR "in 17 that one would have more top spin and might fall fall in for a hit."

Even in there Offline franchise stream they seem more excited to show DD Legends then the actual franchise stream. Sent from my A0001 using Operation Sports mobile app

So what you rather have had them do in the time (less than a day) it took to implement Retro Mode?

In that one day could of added the speed ability of the man at second base. That was not me complaining just contributing to the post
