I was ecstatic when I saw the possible perks available with each of my pitcher’s core stats. The other major implementation in a sea of adjustments and enhancements is the addition of perks when leveling your player stats. The dialogue feels rather dry, but this is a positive creative choice, because there isn’t an encompassing feeling of forced narrative in a sports game, and the result of this is a more organic game mode overall–albeit not edge-of-your-seat fun. With the help of a narrator, your player’s story is told in a documentary style, responding to decisions made, roles achieved, and successes earned. In 17, there isn’t quite an addictive push implemented like other modes have seen in recent years, but what’s here is a positive step in the right direction. While that seems like a counterintuitive negative to say about a game mode that caters to player progression, the motivations for doing anything within RTTS have never been engrossing past the point of player success. Road to The Show (RTTS) has always been a favorite mode in any sports game on the market–it’s the mode that initially got me into The Show back in ‘11–but it’s always had a simple premise with the only investment being the progress of the player.
I mean, yes, the regulars are the ones that help fund the game every year, but newcomers can become regulars with the proper push.

Fortunately, for those conditioned to the game, pressing the Touchpad will halt all future tutorials for that particular mode or event, but after years of learning the intricacies of the game out of trial and error, seeing all these helping hands for new players indicates to me that MLB The Show 17 is more important to San Diego Studio than, say, Madden is to EA. As a conditioned player, I couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed, because each and every aspect of the game had its own little tutorial, which would make the game freeze to explain what is coming, even mid-pitch or mid-fielding. From the opening moments of the game, MLB The Show 17 does its damnedest to ensure that every person playing it knows exactly what he or she is doing by implementing tiny hints and instructions as situations arise.
