Was trade frequency slider already known? Because that was just confirmed on stream.

Yeah they added in Conquest and Battle Royale though. Whatever the heck those are lol

Guess they need to attract more casuals to the series somehow

Yes they have previously stated that, I think.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream Starts Now - Franchise Mode

Dang, people giving me a hard time on here. I guess saying Ramone "played" me is a bit harsh, I just would have preferred him to have said "no" instead of leading me on/giving my hopes up. I have wanted non-roster invitees for many, many years and I thought this year was the first time it was actually going to happen.

I liked to play my franchise as realistically as possible and that would have helped tremendously. I love The Show and buy it every single year, but I just am disappointed with the route they are going. I don't care anything at all about DD and I play RTTS sparingly, so that's why I'm so invested in franchise. Guess they can't make everyone happy.

Tell you what, I like Matty V's new homerun calls. He now yells like he does on actual TV broadcasts.

Another random game mode they add like every year while continuing to reject and not revamp franchise mode or even RTTS. Maybe for once I won't buy the game this year. The neglection of franchise mode is really starting to get on my nerves.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream Starts Now - Franchise Mode

To summarize

I missed the first few minutes, so feel free to add to this...


(1) Commentary remembers past season awards and stats in franchise.

(2) Playoff pitcher stamina fix.

(3) Blockbuster free agent signing screens shows player in new uni.

(4) Morale system (not optional, can't turn off) has 7 components (only 4 factor into signing free agents)

(5) Scouting system with more info on generated players (not just 4 attributes, but all attributes given) and 20-80 system

(6) Generated players a bit more life-like appearance

(7) Full career and season stats tracked and sortable by player

(8) Ratings progression heavily tied to stats (saw a -9 and -10 applied after one season of batting terribly against LHPs)

(9) Trade logic changed, trade frequency slider added

(10) Luxury tax and revenue sharing added to financial system

(11) New budget screens including payroll 5 years into the future

(12) WAR stat (custom formula, but appears mostly similar to major websites) includes defense and positional adjustment for position players

(13) Considering a player import into franchise feature for next year


None of these updates are for online and if it isn't on this list, the answer is most likely no.

Why are they spending all the time talking about Diamond Dynasty? Ugh. Franchise mode gets the shaft again.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream Starts Now - Franchise Mode

Have you asked them about it? We got the playoff stamina question answered in a few minutes.

Wasn't a complaint, I was just mentioning that it had been tweaked in some way. I normally don't have the best luck in getting questions answered in twitch streams, so no.

Then dont buy it. They havent neglected either of those modes. You just dont like what they added.

Lots of good changes here. The mode definitely wasn't neglected.

Franchise mode wasn't neglected. Online Franchise was. I just can't play the AI anymore in any game..just completely lifeless.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream Starts Now - Franchise Mode

Linking progression to stats is redundant and creates a circular flow. Player performance is affected by ratings, but now ratings are affected by player performance.

In real life, players don't get better because they bat .300, they bat .300 because they get better.

Bad idea.
