Following the holiday season, Ramone Russell and the team at San Diego Studio released a video revealing a few more details on Retro mode, regional athlete covers and Twitch stream schedules leading up to the launch of “MLB The Show 17.”

Retro Mode

First up, Russell dives into Retro mode’s gameplay. In Retro mode, San Diego Studio builds around the usage of one button, X. By simplifying the mechanics and watering down the majority of the pitcher’s stats to three core principles (velocity, break and control), San Diego Studio really aims to hone in on the pitcher-vs-batter experience and make it very bare bones. Three pitch types will be available: fastball, changeup and slider. All the pitches are committed by using the left thumbstick in conjunction with X. The other attributes like velocity and direction are determined by the player manipulating the analog stick right before releasing the pitch. Retro mode is also outfitted with new animations, gameplay adjustments and improvements from the base game.
