I don't know a whole lot about programming and video game development, but I can't imagine Retro Mode taking up enough space that would prevent more equipment, uniforms, or other things to be added.

Retro Mode is basically just different camera angles, a few gameplay/visual/audio wrinkles, and a different control scheme.

disclaimer: I am in love with this series and was one of many who traded in their xbox for a ps just for this game. my opinions is basically this game is so great yet, it could be so much better....

While I understand everyone's obsession of the intro video....its not part of gameplay. It has no affect on the game whatsoever. Yeah, it's a great visual, very well done....but I watched it once and will advance passed moving forward. I just think, again, if its taking up storage space for the overall game, it doesn't have to be a major detail. IMO they could release that as a YouTube video as a teaser and the game could load right at the opening screen and I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

Very similar feelings. If that intro doesn't put a lump in your throat you're not a baseball fan. (LOL I"m old enough to remember watching Aaron's 715 when it happened so that really grabbed my attention.

This game is such a step forward for the franchise that it is alarming to me how the face and eye features feel so out of place.... To me..... Just my $0.02

Agree. CAPs still look like CAPS. You can still easily tell who is a CAP and who is face scanned. Ramone said it would be harder to tell the difference this year. Lol. That said, Mo makes some good CAPs.

GAme is amazing, wow, now this is what I expected when I moved to next gen. Best Sports game ever made imo. RTTS is amazing.

I'm enjoying the new RTTS direction. I wish there was an option to just talk to the manager and discuss your position or to just retire when you want like the other games, but I'm not complaining.

My only actual complaint is that when the balls bounce off the outfield wall or hit the warning track they bounce way too high. I've been seeing a lot more ground rule doubles because of this.
