The reason you've seen next to nothing about the presentation to this point is because they're saving it all for next week. We've known this since they announced their stream schedule.

That's what I am banking on and holding out for!

The Expos jerseys where in MLB 09. That was the last time they were included in the Show.

Only disappointment so far is Retro Mode doesn't follow the huge bombs to their landing area. Maybe next year.

Something still in question is dusk sky color. Dark blue this time? We'll see...

How are the new face, body type, and equipment updates going to effect CAPs? Last year when I transferred to '16, for example, Franklin Pro Classic batting gloves switched with Franklin CFX Pro. There were a few more automatic switches that I noticed (bats, gloves, shoes, the new running styles). Are the faces and hair styles going to change to something random too? Hopefully things like that won't change on their own.

Yeah I hope they did try to implement that into the game. The majority of the players on the Indians prefer the stripes over the solids. I did notice in one of the gameplay vlogs that the giants had the same stripe design on their socks so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's in

Equipment will change based on what SCEA added/subtracted and where it's located in the editor. As for faces and hairstyles. From a tweet Ramone put out and what we know (they added 49 new heads and dropped the current 17 that already exist) is that we will have to start over on the faces. Unless Ramone or an artist can confirm the 17 old heads will transfer over with limited issues.

I tried asking this question during the stream a few times, but got no answer. Maybe they are waiting for the RTTS stream.

Love what I saw, absolutely can't wait for 17. Not that huge of a deal, but I couldn't help but notice the blue piping on the Royals gold alternate jerseys in the game:

Good catch. Bit of a bummer.

And I believe Ramone said they've already frozen the art for the game, so unless this is just an old build, we may be stuck with them.

On a positive Royals note - it looks like Duffy has a face scan this year!

Then I really hope the Cardinals follow it in real life and stop using the Sunday and navy road caps.

At least I don't have to worry about the road alt belt being the wrong color anymore.

# 171 ARoid1313 @ 02/24/17 01:03 AM

damn guys, game looks fantastic, honestly one of the biggest leaps forward in a single year for the franchise. The retro camera & hit variety alone are worth the purchase. Very excited for this year!

Ramone already talked about this, I believe during an IGN interview. It basically means that the grass patterns are now "real". Which means the shading changes depending on the camera angle. Before 17 the colours were hard coded and would always look the same.

I hope this makes sense

# 173 LastActionHero @ 02/24/17 02:33 AM

Yes finally we get to see the new analog pitching meter! That homeplate on top is a little big for my liking but if we can still resize the meter its all good.

Look at the sun reflecting off the buildings!
A few years back the buildings outside of stadiums didn't even respond to sun/shadows.

# 174 SilverBullet1929 @ 02/24/17 07:04 AM

The Marlins unused orange cap is in the game and the Rockies unused purple cap was in the game for years yet the Cardinals navy cap and the Dbacks red cap that were both used in 2016 aren't?

Man I wanna punch the style guide in the mouth.

They should make US in charge of that thing and we'd do a better job than the 30 teams do.

I'm not actually questioning it, but rather I'm in shock over the visual fidelity this year's game is offering! I'm going to also have to check Target Field from last year, but that grass looks really good to me right now. They must've been playing with it a bit, for sure.

Pretty sure I remember seeing that everything they've shown us is the standard PS4.

I cant wait to play in SunTrust Park.

# 177 jgb3 @ 02/24/17 08:34 AM

Is it me, or did they completely redo the running animations? I feel like fast players like Margot and Jankowski have a lot more quick twitch feel to them. Buxton's steal of second kinda affirmed that notion as well...

I am just so happy that it finally appears DEFENSE is back!! The animations look so smooth and with the hit variety there will actually be a challenge to playing D, the past few years you pretty much knew what was going to happen on most hits (if you could get to the ball or not etc). Even the way taking bad routes will really cost you, not just in getting the ball but making good throws as well and those double plays just BEAUTIFUL.

I had been just fast forwarding through the pitching/defense side the 2nd half of 2016 the show just felt stale and mechanical to me but I can't wait to get out there so to speak.

# 179 jgb3 @ 02/24/17 08:51 AM

Ladies and gents, today is a monuments day.

We will no longer be seeing 4 year old girls barehanding 100 mph liners. Looks like fan graphics got an overhaul.
