Is there more marketing for MLB 17 than before ??

I am the only one that has noticed but SDS ( or Sony ) has been really marketing the heck out of " Show 17 " more than ever before ?? In years past there have been advertising but this year there has been many more pre-advertising videos than I can ever remember ie : SDS, GameSpot, IGN, Show Nation, Twitter, ect. I think it is awesome plus we are getting to see more game play and options that are available. Makes me even more excited to get the game hopefully it does the same for some players that have been on the fence and for new players. Awesome job SDS.

One of the TVs in our cafeteria has ESPN on most days and even though I could not hear it there was a commercial for the show on while I was in there today.

I think they're doing a great job. I wonder if it's the SDS guys or if they have sony's external marketing support for this.

More copies sold means more years of The Show to come.

Their 15-second spot ads are also all over MLB.TV during their commercial breaks. There's definitely a lot of exposure this year.

I was just going to post this, I'm seeing tons of MLB.TV spots. Good for SDS, I hope it pays dividends and that 17 is the most successful version of The Show to date.

I havent seen this much push since the old days of Kevin "Well Played, Mauer" Butler.
Maybe this will be the year the Show reaches 2 million sales.

I said "Well played Mauer" way too many times to my friends back then.
