Speaking of little things, I hope the coaching staffs got an overhaul. I've never been all that thrilled with seemingly random attribute boosts tied to coaches. Would love to see it take on more of a tendency approach than a boost/nerf approach (longer manager hook, more bunting/hit-and-run, different lineup constructions or bullpen usage etc).

In this video, it's interesting that the franchise mode menu that Ramone was narrating over (see :17 mark) has a tile called "Budget" and listed there is "Cash Flow" on a per week basis. That seems to indicate the financial system will be more nuanced than just a yearly budget vs yearly expenditure. This probably means setting prices of merch, tickets, etc is in.

In regards to the video. No these aren't really little things but what else would you call them?

There's also more parts to follow and a live stream so we'll hear more about them soon.

The more classic stadiums are always a bonus.

The new crowd sections are awesome. Its so cool to see The 7 Line at Citi Field, though I hope they properly portray what they do. The 7 Line is not at EVERY home game. They have maybe 10 outings a season where they all sit in the section. But they are at Every Home Playoff game. (They also travel to opponents ballparks throughout the year but I don't expect that to be in the game).

SOTS additions are nice, I can't wait to see how the SOTS Packs come out this year.

And I'm curious about this Critical Moments feature.
My hunch is, when you are simulating through your franchise and a moment in a simulated game comes up where it's let's say Bottom of the 9th, tie game. A notification pops up and shows you there's a Big Moment in your game. You have the option to go into that game and play that moment.
Or one of your players is close to a milestone, you can jump into his at-bat and try to accompish the milestone.

This works similar to MLB Network nightly baseball show MLB Tonight. Throughout the night of baseball, MLB Network can jump into any live game at any big moment and show you what's happening live or show replays of big moments. I feel Critical Moments work like this. Throughout the season/day you can jump into big moments either throughout the entire MLB or just within your team.

If this is what Critical Moments are, I am going to have an absolute blast with them, I love MLB Tonight and in The Show, playing 162 with the same team, you may get 5-10 walk-off situations with your team. But playing with every team and all of their Critical Moments could be SO MUCH FUN!

7 Line Army won't play at every home game during the season. It's set to play at every home playoff game though.

Perfect! Great to hear.

Thanks Lorne!

Good catch - I posted this question in another thread and got no replay but the same screen shows sponsorships. My question is whether cpu teams also get the sponsor money or is it limited to user controlled team? I didn't use that option in the show 16 because I consider it an unfair advantage if the cpu teams don't get it also.

Anybody know the answer?

I'm not sure about a 1-team franchise, but when I do a 30-team control franchise I can just set the other teams' sponsors myself.

Loved setting the prices, all we need now are news articles and we are all set!

Agreed, hopefully it resembles MVP baseball owner's mode regarding the different pricing points and promotional days!

Just wish the franchise main screen included more seasonal stats and standings like some of you said; it would be pretty convenient to have them on that screen.

If this is true, I really hope that the CPU teams in franchise mode also have the ability to intelligently manage their finances, and that it isn't something that's static. If it is static, it would seem like it would give the User team an advantage, as you will basically be able to engineer higher cash flows, thus making more money than the CPU teams.

This has always been the case with Sponsorships; the User team can boost it's cash flow with sponsorships, but CPU teams can't, thus giving a huge bonus to User teams. I simply don't use them for this reason.

I really hope that the CPU can also use the "Challenges" that appear on the Franchise menu.

What I'm trying to say is to please make all of these bonuses applicable to CPU teams as well; they're nice features but they always seem to give the advantage to the User, and these new features are never really catered to people who like to run balanced, realistic franchises, where the User is on the same base as the CPU.

Maybe I'm completely wrong and all of this will be addressed in the Franchise twitch stream, but I just wanted to give my thoughts on this since it has been this way in previous MLB The Show games.

is it me or did I just see the same player celebrations as in MLB the Show 2016?

Depends on if you add sponsors to the CPU teams or not, which I always do when starting up a chise.

I'm sure there are some that are the same. And rightly so.

One of the most encouraging things I saw was a ball that died in the corner on a screamer down the line... the physics in that situation called for that and it happened. Guy got in to second base easy.

Also, the outfielder showed urgency as well. he didn't brace himself to run into the wall either. He got the ball out quickly.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - The Little Things: Expanded Sounds of the Show & More

Russ or scea can we assign sound of the show music to routine away outs? Following each routine home defensive play resulting in an away out the game plays the same music over and over again, seems weird that we can't assign music for this. If I'm not mistaken there is a slot for clutch out and strikeout, but all other outs have no option
