I know FOX is also affiliated with MLB Network, which is why Matty V., (I think) Harold Reynolds, and Ken Rosenthal are part of some of their broadcasts. It'd be cool if they also had a FOX Sports package.

Getting greedy, but that would be amazing.

That MLB Network package looks dope.

# 25 mrCPUgeek @ 02/17/17 12:03 PM

That "Quick Manage" option is just what I've been hoping for.

I think the show logo is a place setter because they didn't want to reveal MLB Network. You can see in the Reds stadium along outfield wall several show logos that might have an MLB Network or two. Also, I hope these builds are old or at least not final because they batter box lines were not degrading in either stadium in late innings. This was also true when they showed the Cubs stadium.

The MLB Network package looks real good. I was hoping they would add another presentation package this year to go along with the three from last year but never thought it would be MLB Network.

I'll probably be using quick-manage a lot in franchise mode, but I have one thought about it:

If I remember correctly, way back, at least 4 or 5 years ago, the fast-forward/quick-sim option was accessible via the d-pad up menu, along with the subs, bullpen, etc. menus. Not sure why they removed it, but I used it a ton. If they could throw quick-manage in there as well, or give me a way to open it without having to open the pause menu and move down a few selections, I'd be a happy camper.

I really hope this is an older build. I still haven't seen an EvoShield elbow guard in any video yet.

Also, new New Era add behind the plate at Camden.

Yep this just bugs the hell out of me so much and even the numbers on the front of jerseys are way to low

Why was the number placement put in the wrong places in the first place when MLB The Show was created years ago is what I really would like to know? Even much older games like MVP Baseball have the numbers in the correct spots! It's little things like this that MLB The Show needs to get right! Here is MVP 06 and MLB The Show 17 screen shots see what I mean? Then numbers for MVP Baseball 06 is in the right spot on both back and front of the jerseys where as with MLB The Show 17 and earlier versions the numbers are to low!

The good news is after looking at the videos and screen shots of MLB The Show 17 a lot I think although not 100% sure that the number on the back with names was raised higher to look more accurate finally. But again even though I thought that was fixed even now when looking at it I am not even so sure of that being fixed. Could just be my eyes playing tricks on me. Anyway I am no artist but how hard is it to just look at real MLB Jerseys and copy them 100% into the game? And yes I know they have to follow the style guide but I am willing to bet the numbers are placed in the correct spots on all the jerseys in the style guide!

It's a shame because they made the players faces so much better but they forgot to fix the number placement on all Jerseys!

As the famous saying goes maybe next year right

It seems strange that they combine different builds of the game for these videos. It makes me wonder if the MLB Network package is for every game or if it's only for select games. Remember last year they introduced different graphics sets depending on the market size of the home team, maybe it's something like that.

I still can't believe they have fans in the groundskeeper shed at Camden Yards. It almost makes the stadium unplayable.

# 32 The Kid 24 @ 02/17/17 12:47 PM

I loved that college baseball game!

# 33 tnixen @ 02/17/17 12:59 PM

Also I wonder if we will have big fat guys like this?

MLB The Show needs Prince Fielder type bodies in the game!

# 34 skrody @ 02/17/17 01:05 PM

i dont remember the O's having black pants in MLB 16, correct me if im wrong but is this a new uniform set

# 35 tnixen @ 02/17/17 01:05 PM

Also unless they are mixing up old and newer build which is very possible of course it looks like also new this year is the pitching select buttons and the base select window on hits also will change color deepening on which presentation package is being used.

Did anyone ever let them know about this in the stadium feedback threads?

# 37 sectiona21 @ 02/17/17 01:08 PM

Its been years, but almost certain I recalled Costas and Reynolds in the booth for one of the Triple Play series games? Maybe they will be reunited for Show17?

For commentators, they should have nabbed the trio that were doing 2k baseball, I think it was Gary Thorne, John Kruk and Steve Phillips. That was fun to listen to. Sounded so authentic.

The numbers definitely look higher up to me in these pics
