Can someone explain to me the term "deep dive" and its overusage?

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

I'll probably be sticking with '16 for a while unless things like presentation and franchise mode are heavily updated. I think franchise mode has been virtually untouched since MLB 12 or 13.

Deep dive = go into greater detail

They used it when they were gonna do an hour or so long twitch stream and not just a 5 minute video about the topic. A more in depth look into the mode or feature

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

No need to be worried at all it's pretty much the same every year. None of the important info will be released until the twitch video blogs start more then likely the first week after the Super Bowl. I would look for the twitch video blog schedule announcement from Russell around the last week of January and the first twitch video blog to follow about a week or so later.

So I would say we have around 4 weeks or so until info starts flowing in.

For a die hard MLB The Show fan This is always the best time of the year because we are so close to hearing about all the new goodies but at the same time these few weeks also seem to last forever lol

Here is last years schedule for reference.

Ramone gave this post a thumbs up, so I'd say you're on to something

Give the online franchise community some love! Mode could be so great with some more additions.

I understand what you are saying but I have to disagree. The best time of the year more is when I can buy the game and put the disc in my ps4.

Russell does as good a job as anybody when it comes to promoting the game. Ideally demand for the game reaches a crescendo on release day.

I agree. Show-wise, Decembe to March is the hardest time of the year for me. While I will still be enjoying the current Show, looking forward to release day and the slow trickle of news is almost too much to bear.

Essentially, this is me:

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

Hopefully they really include Historical Stat, Boxscore, League Standings, performances, Season Summaries, are included as part of the Franchise mode so players have sort of Almanac/Historical Section in the mode to really look back on their league's history


This is something that the Baseball game really needs to allow us to really appreciate our FRANCHISE MODE

• New hairstyles made it into the game (Shown in the new AA locker room).
• Road to The Show will feature a new non-linear decision making system, which will allow you to make big decisions that matter.
• More player and team specific personality will be included in this year's game.
• Spin of the ball off of the bat has been greatly improved with new hit types like curving hits down the line.
• Four new Historical Stadiums are included in the game. (Old Yankee Stadium, Hubert H. Humphry Metrodome, Shea Stadium, Sun Life Stadium) - Nice detective work 13SM13!
• All batter walkups in Diamond Dynasty will show the player card types on screen.
• Show Track allows for some new presentational elements in this year's game.
• More player specific home run swings.
• Both Ken Griffey Jr. and Ken Griffey Sr. will be on the legends roster for MLB The Show 17.

I suppose it depends on what mode you play as to which new features you like the most. I play manage mode exclusively and because runs scored were too low in the Show 16 the thing I'm most interested in is new ball spin physics. I wonder whether this will impact gameplay or only animation.





More player and team specific personalities if they pertain to franchise mode will add off field depth and is a positive addition so long as they don't get carried away with it to the point where it significantly impacts performance and becomes a chore.



After ball physics the four new classic stadiums will be interesting. Shea and Sun Life specifically will play more neutral than previous classic stadiums.



One thing I wonder about is more player specific home run swings. Do these only occur when a play hits a home run or can a player swing for a home run with a different outcome?

Yes please! If Ramone announces that absolutely nothing was touched in Online Franchise again I'm gonna go nuts. Lol.

As many have already said, it's still way to early to worry about that. I'm sure that some some goodies for all modes. [emoji1]

Not to early at all. It has literally gone untouched since it debuted in 14 and there are huge glaring problems. So im not confident there are goodies for all modes. But ill be hopeful.

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

Finally something about physics. It's been a few years since I have bothered with buying since the rental has left me feeling blah about the game.

So I will rent again first and if the physics are actually improved I might buy.

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed

Haven't really been paying much attention to the hyping of the game this winter, but I would be pretty happy with improved ball physics (spin/hook/slice) and some more detailed cloth "physics" texturing on the uniforms. Maybe a tweak to the CPU AI as well.

I do want new player models for MLB '18 and expansion mode in MLB '19 though. The idea of an NBA2K style branding/expansion mode in a baseball game makes me weak in the knees. Hopefully some of these things are in development.
