MLB The Show 17 Video - Gameplay Changes, No PlayStation VR Support This Year

[Peter_OS]

the game loads up way too fast to allow for someone to scroll through the starting pitchers, starting lineups etc.. wish they had put a pause and start option in there.

Game looks better! The new ball physics look awesome and so do the new animations.

As a Diamondbacks fan, it really annoys me that they don't have David Peralta or Aj Pollocks correct loads in their stances. Peralta sort of flips the bat off his shoulder right when the pitcher starts his delivery irl.

It'd be awesome to play with the uniforms we see on the field for some teams, but i just don't see it happening.

I think Mr. Russell pointed out recently about socks not being in the style guide and SDS is looking into changing this, so I'm still hopeful...

Lets keep ROAD and leave AWAY to the British.

I think that thread about sock errors proves they can do whatever they want with the socks this year and they're do whatever they can to get them right.

Maybe it's just me...

I would love to see more Normal catches from the 1B from the other infielders. There's a ton of weird catches by the 1B but not many where he stretches and catches it like normal.

Like they've done with the catcher and new setups, I hope they put a similar focus on 1B next year.

Completely agree. Some of the scoops are a bit goofy. There is one in particular where the first baseman catches it, then double taps the bag as if he never had a foot on it (usually the foot double tapping never actually hits the bag lol). Maybe it's just me but I've felt like there are maybe too many inaccurate throws to first in previous iterations. I have faith after seeing the progress this year in the animations department that they'll improve next year and beyond.

Something tells me with all the effort SDS put in this year on the Uniforms, that if the ST jerseys were in the Style Guide, they would've been put in the game. In most cases, like the Rangers, Astros, Mariners, A's, Angels, Twins, Indians, Royals, Blue Jays, Rays, Red Sox, Orioles, Giants, Rockies, D'Backs, Padres, Cubs, Brewers, Reds, Pirates, Marlins, Mets, Nationals & Phillies -- all of their ST jerseys, are actually in game as Alternates. They just don't have the ST logo, but the jerseys are there for the most part. The teams that are hurt potentially by the lack of ST jerseys are teams like the White Sox, Tigers, Yankees, Dodgers & Braves. The White Sox have a black jersey alternate in the game, but their ST jersey is black with the 1980s-style logo. The Tigers & Yankees both have TWO ST jerseys, a home & road version, and i'm hoping they'll be in game as their alternates, being they don't have an alternate in real life, but have a slot. The Braves ST jersey is basically their Road alternate, but with 'Braves' across the front, instead of 'Atlanta'. Like I said before, the lack of ST jerseys is a big hit mostly on the Yankees & Tigers. Hopefully they found a way in there as alternates for those teams. It's gonna suck if those two just have two jerseys in the game, home white and road gray, and basically nothing else than just different iterations of white & grey.

This is very helpful. Maybe we could start at thread where people could post what jersey/cap to use for each team during ST games. And if the jersey/cap is not in the game we could post what is closest. Just an idea. [emoji3]

It drives me nuts too. Loads and strides need to be natural. Watching a video of Griffey, the bridge between his stance and finished follow through is awful.
