This is the quickest my hype level for the show has ever gone up...

Player faces look phenomenal and the body styles will have so much variety.

According to Ramone in the video, yeah, the MLB player body types are uneditable.

I've been waiting on this stat line all my "The Show" life.

Showing this stat line, could this mean "Inside Edge" is also in other areas of the game? Exhibition/franchise?

I was going to pass getting this at launch but after this video pretty much cemented me being there day one!

So after looking at Kluber's shoes, not bad SCEA. Only thing that needs to change is the sole should be white, not TC1.

One of my greatest hopes for SOTS is that they add a "generic music in ballpark" slot for stadiums.

Having specific songs play at the middle or end of an inning is great - but a lot of stadiums have a collection of songs that shuffle for those slots, instead of always having the same song. I would love to load in 15-20 songs and let them shuffle and play at the middle and end of innings randomly.

Have they shown Nike and UA arm sleeves at all? I'm curious to know if those sleeves are solid colors now besides the brand symbol.

Wow, the camera in Retro mode is outstanding.

I agree, and being able to play with that camera in regular mode is even better.

Hopefully this will be changed before release otherwise we will be stuck with it. EDIT: Like Ramone said this isn't the complete game, but I also noticed only 10 uniform slots still as well. Holding off judgement until the uniform sets stream next week. In the video the Indians have Home Home Alt Home '19 Home '76 BP Home Road Road Alt Road '19 Road '76 BP Road

Nottice though that it is in a list. That makes me think there is more to the uniform slots this year.

Will we be able to turn off the release feedback above info the pitching meter?

I can understand new people to the game wanting it but for long timers like myself I do not need or want it to say "Early, Late, Perfect" above the meter every time I throw a pitch! At the very least allow us to only show that info in a popup box like you have for the batter swing release info. In fact it's a little blocked but it looks like the pitcher release info is in fact in a pop up box at the bottom left corner which I am totally fine with. So why does it also need to be over the meter?

I just think it looks bad seeing pitch release info above the meter all the time.

This is nothing, and it doesn't look bad to me.

I wish we can finally use R2 before a pitch to quickly show the pitch selection when you play with the osd's off. Now I always dive into the option menu and remember them because I don't like all the pitch types plastered next to the catcher. It would be nice if you could call them up for a reminder!

I also love how we select uniforms this year... Looks so good with player model standing there.

# 37 Impetuous65 @ 02/15/17 12:20 PM

Please, Please, Please put the batter pitcher analysis back on the D-Pad. I don't like pausing the game and go fishing for this information. It was perfect on the D-Pad.

It won't bother me much but it seems to be a solution for something that was not a problem. Was there anybody who could not determine when they were early or late on their pitching, especially in the Meter Mode. It seems so obvious.

# 39 BSUFAN @ 02/15/17 12:36 PM

As a RTTS player only this create a player information is gold, the excitement level just went through the roof, WOW !!!

I did notice and will hold off judgement until the 23rd.
