MLB The Show 17 News Post

More MLB The Show 17 Details From Ramone Russell On Our Twitch Channel Last Night

08:45 AM - December 20, 2016 by Steve_OS

Late last night during our Twitch stream, hosted by Millennium, Ramone Russell stopped by to chat about MLB The Show 17 and gave us a few additional nuggets about the game.

Obviously, he didn't answer all of the questions in the Twitch stream, because those will be answered in Twitch streams held by the team, along with additional trailers and blogs after the New Year.

With that said, make sure to watch the archived Twitch stream here or on our YouTube channel and post your thoughts. Please subscribe while you're there.

NOTE: For clarification, the video in the Twitch stream is MLB The Show 16.

Grrrr....at work right now. Will have to check out when I get home.

# 3 Bullit @ 12/20/16 10:21 AM

Millennium as always is hilarious and Ramone is as well. I love listening to them say "no comment " "I'm not going to ask that" for a couple of hours.

# 4 WhiteBunny @ 12/20/16 11:12 AM

Yeah, it's a great comedy duo. It seems to me they're really two nice guys and it's a lot of fun following them during a stream session.

Anyone care to share some of the nuggets that Ramone dropped to Millennium during this Twitch Stream for us unfortunate souls who are stuck at work.

No comment.....

The problem with pitchers getting hit with batted balls up the middle that I notice is that not enough pitchers fall off the mound far enough. Too many of them finish in perfect fielding positions.

It really shows how close the relationship between OS and The Show Team to have something like this pop up.

Thanks to Ramone, as well as OS for making something like this possible!

# 9 tnixen @ 12/20/16 01:02 PM

Sounds like this will be the biggest update ever in the series for Ball physics!!!

I thought the Ball physics already have come a long way since the PS3 days but it sounds like we are going to be in for a real treat in 17

Was a great stream and cool to get some little nuggets of info.

There really wasn't much he could say. It was almost all no comment. He did say the stream schedule is set but can't release it. He talked about the face scanning process. He said there will be more Legends in the game but couldn't say who. The Harold Reynolds Easter egg was brought up. And it has been played like 200-300 times. I'm gunna go back through and listen to it again right now I'll make a list of anything notable in a different post.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

No problem. I was watching last night and about 95% of the questions were answered with either silence or no comment or ask that question in X mode stream.

# 14 Bullit @ 12/20/16 02:44 PM

I do have a very serious question about the stream last night though. Right at the beginning I noticed something very strange.

How in all thats Holy did Millennium manage to get Bumgarner on to the O's?

Fantasy draft?

# 16 redsox4evur @ 12/20/16 02:56 PM

He really did not say much. 95% of the answers were silence/no comment/ask that in a certain stream (gameplay, franchise, etc). He couldn't break any new news in the stream.

More legends TBA besides the 4 we have already seen.
The stream schedule is set (done 2 weeks ago) but he can't release it.
He talked about how to become a community leader (active in the community and be constructive with feedback, they will seek you out for it).
Very little chance of real Spring Training parks, it's very difficult.
He couldn't confirm the new stadiums.
He thinks they will be doing Twitch giveaways this year.
Franchise will have upgrades obviously, couldn't' say what any of them are.
They have an MLB Live team that does updates for DD.
Hard to say about the frequency of a pitcher getting by a ball.
Vastly upgraded the ball physics. Ball spins effect everything.
On the pitcher getting hit by ball and injury frequency. People would get pissed if their guy (Kershaw, Sale, MadBum) got injured every time.
In the digital deluxe the gold/diamond mission starter could be a player or equipment.
Giambi wore 16 in the trailer because of time.
No new info until after the New Year.
The Face screening process at both ST and in studio.
Ramon has tried for 2 years to get MLBTS merchandise that we can buy. It is very hard to do.
How to get a job in the video game industry.
The Seattle Easter Egg, Harold Reynolds in the booth.
Commentary updates during the year ala Madden, no comment.
Doesn't think are any other Easter Eggs in 16 (Century Link field wasn't even supposed to be able to be found).
'Fact sheet' (has a different name inside the company) gets created in May.
More brands than New Balance.
Content sheets will be seen in the future.
How to get a guy on the official roster (certain amount of innings). Thursday cut off for roster updates.
Bunt cheese is no comment with the caveat it's being talked about.
On the topic of wishlists: These words are tit for tat from Ramone's mouth: we pretty much don't read those because they are like 1000 pages long. Best way to make one is make a video that is short and concise. Then send it to the dev team. It's easier for people to watch those. There are rarely ideas we haven't thought of.
Banners and pennants for Franchise mode. That's incredibly difficult to work on. It would be the only feature for the whole game if you wanted that update.
Assume that they will be at the ASG next year.
All support emails are looked at.
No comment on 4K, UHD, or VR and Competitive gaming.

That's everything that got an actual answer (with the exception of the last sentence because I know some of you care about that stuff). All franchise stuff was met with a no comment because he could not break any news during the stream.

He is in the 2019 season and gave him 30M per year in the first offseason. He also signed Jose Fernandez for 5M per year (he was sitting in FA late into the winter offered him a 2 yr 10M as a joke, thinking he wouldn't sign and Fernandez accepted it).

Surely the new Braves stadium will be in.

Right?

Yes. By confirming (via Twitter) that Turner Field will be available as a classic stadium, Ramone basically confirmed that the Braves' new stadium will be in.

Yes it is in. We just don't know what they were able to include outside of the stadium.
