At PlayStation Experience a new trailer for upcoming baseball game MLB 17: The Show raised a few eyebrows, and that's mostly because of a new retro mode that was shown in action.

The new mode is discussed in more detail by Ramone Russell of San Diego Studio. "Introducing, "Retro Mode," a retro gameplay experience that pays homage to the classic baseball games many of us grew up playing. Retro Mode allows you to move the pitcher across the pitcher's rubber and move around the batter's box with ease, classic on-screen displays, an old school soundtrack, unique sound effects, a throwback pause menu and more."

"Retro Mode is entirely separate to the popular Road To The Show, Diamond Dynasty and Franchise game modes. This new way to play MLB The Show is designed to be a fun, throwback game mode that instigates battles on the couch with friends."

What do you think of the retro mode?
