Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

Looking forward to the stream even if Franchise is not where I spend my time in the game. I hope they have added lots of cool features for everyone.

Thanks for the link. It makes alot more sense now.

Can you explain how it works? I read over the description in the link and was very confused.

Does this suggest why the pitch counts are way too high?

All I want is more "In-game" stats during my franchise

100% agree!!!!!

We need a lot more in game stat overlays with the commentary talking about it.

And a much better extended Box Score too would be nice!

I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere, but the menus and interfaces look really well done this year. The calendar, for example, is really streamlined, and I like it a lot.

Budgetary information is also presented in a much more interesting way this year, I think. There are definitely a lot of nice little touches to draw you into the nuances a little more. This is going to be a fun year for Franchise Mode.

So pumped.

As I understand it, your pitcher may actually throw about 80 pitches. QC (if added to the pitch count) will account for another 100+ so the game reduces that number by 1 per batter to give a realistic total in the box score of around 145 even though the 80 you threw and the 100 that were simmed total 180.

Basically, if the average game has 145 pitches you will only need about 80 but 100 will have to be simmed to get you realistic BB and K numbers but that total is adjusted down to get you back near 145 in the box score.

I hope that makes sense.

Just keep quick counts as quick counts...not include an additional pitch like they did last year. There should be times where the count starts at 0-0 too. Just take what all star baseball has...they had it perfect.

These changes or whatever are are minor. Are we able to start a franchise and season with up to update roster and stats because real life stats are important.

Do spring training games matter this year?? This is something that is lacking big time in the show.

They had it far from perfect.
Few walks...way too few.

K's as well...if you didn't use Pitchers Count....there were not nearly enough.(K's were a manage game item)

Ramone has said before, and I agree, that defeats the whole purpose of quick counts.
