That was in last year.

I think that's the same as DD in 16.

I guess that answers the question on when Ramone will start with the Gamestop Monday's. Dope vid.

Cap logo looks stitched in game instead of painted on. Hopefully team hats follow suit as well this year.

Maybe that means we'll get 3D looking batting helmet logos too but that's only for a couple teams so I don't know...

Cool video, but that's one ugly hat.

(the actual hat, not how it looks in-game)

Disclaimer: I tend to stick to the basics when it comes to hats, but I'm sure others will love this.

I like the hat but why did it have to be a snapback ugh. It should have been stretch fitted.

Easier to produce and dish out to the customers because the stretch fitted new eras come in multiple sizes instead of one-size-fits-all.

You can pay me to wear it..That's about as far as I'll go..

Yeah but certain versions are one size fits all and then others have the small-med vs large-xl versions

The point still stands though they'd have to make multiple versions of different sizes and you can't possibly know the sizes of the customers walking into gamestop to get the cap. The one size fits all snapback is the easiest and most cost effective way to do this promotion.

if you were gonna purchase the $100 game theres really no point to complain about the hat. I hate snapbacks too but I was already getting the $100 game. Thats just a bonus really.

I just now got around to watching the vid. Looks like they have PBR active on the in-game hat. In other words, it looks promising that players will have PBR on them this year. Uniforms, skin, hair??

I don't think so. I hope that's not from the new player model system anyway! No, I'm sure it's not;

Also, yeah, that hat; as Karros might say "...that is....that is not good."

Now the new Yankees Spring Training hat is nice, despite what I heard the guys on MLB Network saying about it...

Agreed! 18 responses (19 including mine) on an interview about a hat-A HAT! Let's get back to more important topics, like you know, the new haircuts! After all these are the things that make a great game.

I think some of us is forgetting this commemorative giveaway when you purchase a Hall of Fame edition of MLBTS 17. It is not meant to be sold at LIDS or on New Era website only for purchaser's of this particular copy of the game. It is paying homage to #24 Griffey Jr. It is a cool cap. Not a waste of resources!

Now I don't understand why it might be in the editing screen, but we'll find out soon. Chill!

Pretty sure Eyeman was being satirical
