Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Improvements Include Player Lock, Quick Manage & More

This was mentioned a few years ago. Would definitely be nice to import players into and existing franchise. Even better if there was like a list on the left where you could check and a list on the right.

Hit import and replace players updated faces and scans. Even though year to year saves is a beautiful idea. I know some people start their franchise over once player models are updated the following year.

I know exactly this makes year to year saves pretty useless to me unless I wanna spend 30 mins with my phone taking a video of a player and editing him in franchise. so time consuming, nothing worse then starting a franchise and one of a veteran players is missing from your roster

a simple 2 second import option to fix this would be awesome, and make year to year saves more worthwhile to replace all the turned generic players

It's 2017 and it took until 2016 just to get career stat tracking. Still can't even view team stats in any useful manner...unless you can memorize everything internally as you scroll through.

And no minor league career stat tracking.

I doubt anything changed with stat tracking this year too.

Say what you want about the game and about me, but you have to admit, it's pretty crazy that it's 2017, the PS4...and we still don't have much in the way of useful stat tracking.

Maybe it will be announced later this week? Sure, but it's a bit naive to think that will be the case.

I have a big prediction. Big.

On the upcoming twitch developer stream there will be developers sitting on the couch and the flashing red lights will be deployed.

That's right. The flashing red lights. New feature announced. You heard it here first.

All I need from this franchise dev cycle is...


1. Expanded "owner" mode/financial system/more detailed contracts.

2. Rotating interleague schedules. Imagine being able to play every team in MLB after a few seasons!

3. Slightly more intelligent cpu roster management AI.


Even with 2 out of 3 on this list I am a happy camper considering all the other improvements (faces, bodies, personalization, equipment options, new commentary, stadium tagging, ball physics etc) this cycle.

Also, with the new sim options, this could be a game changer for people trying to play all 2430 via using the 'critical moments' feature. Probably not something I'll do, but it fills me with intrigue.

Isn't player lock already in 2016?

Yes one must remember that a lot of new PS4's get sold over a calendar year and MLB The Show brings in a decent sized # of new users each year. We don't just sell the game to people who purchased it the last 5 years.

So it's a new feature only for people with new PS4s?

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

Interesting additional features. But honestly don't think I will use any of them. I play every inning and every game of my franchise so they wont be an option for me. Though come to think about it, they might get some use down in my minor leagues. This could actually get me more time invested in playing even more of those game. So yeah never mind, opinion changing as I type this.

Same here. I play every inning of every game. So this is useless to me. I don't even use quick counts. Only time I may use any of this stuff is in a blowout to finish it quickly.

Come to think of it, this stuff is already in the damn game. I have MLB 15 and you can already pick one player to stick with before you begin the game so that is not new.

Wow. Missed the point of my entire post and violated terms of service in one fell swoop. Good job!

Now I will give you a chance to change your tactics or you to get to win a vacation from OS.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Improvements Include Player Lock, Quick Manage & More

ya this was a super underwhelming video, but I was already expecting it. Gamestop really has only thrown out short videos of info. It's def no big deal cuz I was more looking forward to tomorrow and Thursday. I will like the quick manage and probably utilize that instead of a straight sim and maybe i can challenge Ripken's iron man record prob with Vlad Jr.

Can't wait for tomorrow!!

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Improvements Include Player Lock, Quick Manage & More

Even though the visuals are not where I want them to be I am glad the game can be marketed well and should also sell with all the improvements that are coming.

If the team can finally get out of the PS3 age with the smaller, and not so smaller, details this game is going to blow minds.

I always say this year is a good foundation but it's really true this time. No more PS3 is a godsend for next year.

What's new about Player Lock in franchise mode??? We've been able to player lock in franchise games or for the entire season since 2014! I was really looking forward to owner mode coming back to the show! The last version to have a full owner mode experience was MLB 12! If nothing has changed, I just hope that they didn't turn RTTS into another garbage story mode!
