The issue here is they have always had the BP jerseys in. So instead of just adding the ST jerseys, they chose to just put in the warm ups. If this is the case its a bad decision. I'm sure the ST uniforms are in the style guide. Keep in mind, Russell said they tried to get all the jerseys in the style guide in the game, he never said all of the jerseys in the style guide made it in.

Those ST jerseys change every year and get released right before ST. There isn't no where near enough time for them to be included in the game.

I know. It's primitive...it's old school...It's almost...

Retro!

The suspense is killing me ha. No confirmation on if that Pirates alternate was adjusted, not even a like. Throw us a bone and give us a hint.

I love you Ramone but with all due respect, the spring training jerseys are the same as last year's and were released last spring while the BP jerseys that you guys included were just released within the last few months. If you had time to include the BP jerseys you had time to include the ST jerseys.

I'd have loved if last year's ST jersey designs were in the warmup jersey slots for The Show 17.

Then again, if you guys didn't know if the 2017 ST jerseys were going to be the same as 2016 that's understandable though.

I have questions and thoughts about the uniform portion of the video.

Any guesses to which 11 teams have 11 uniforms?

Maybe Ramone said 11 even though some teams show 12 uniforms because road and home BP uniforms are the same jerseys just with different pants for most teams.

What's the Royals extra alternate? I only remember the royal blue the powder blue and the gold trim version, is there a new one for 2017?

My biggest problem with the ST jerseys not being in the game is that we lose out on a few jerseys such as the Cardinals all red and the Rays powder jersey with the yellow sunburst logo over the chest.

I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt on the Pirates black jersey because I know they have been fixing those issues and Ramone has been showing an earlier build.

I was actually trying to figure out the same thing... ?

As awesome as it would be, I can't imagine they plugged in holiday jerseys (i.e. July 4th, Memorial Day, Fathers Day, Mothers Day), so I'm guessing that maybe they have last year's gold text with blue outlines and this year's blue text with gold outline?

Maybe it's this... the gold trim for 2017 and the gold filled in that they wore in 2016. Maybe both are in the style guide. Kinda cool for Royals fans if both got in.

The Royals do have a new Friday alternate for 2017. Chances are these made it in.

You're right. I typed 2015 and 2016, but meant 2016 and 2017

Didn't even notice your mistake lol I knew what you meant.

The Nationals have a new white alternate uniform along with 2 new Caps that go along with it.

 
# 55 SilverBullet1929 @ 02/22/17 07:07 PM
The video didn't say 11 uniforms was the max so I'm taking it as 11 teams have 11 uniforms but there are a couple that happen to have 12.

Saying "2 teams have 12 uniforms" doesn't sound as sweet as saying "11 teams have 11 uniforms"

So which teams are the ones that have 11 or more uniform slots?

We already know Arizona, TB, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and KC based on the videos so far so we need 6 more teams.

Off the top of my head Milwaukee, San Diego, San Francisco, Minnesota, Cincinnati, and Seattle.

Did I miss anyone?

Improved AI logic for pitcher substitutions.

Finally !! thank you hopefully I don't have to use the old change controller to CPU team and make the changes myself now because of dumb BP managment by CPU!
