Let's not forget there is still the Front Office features to be revealed.

I'm sure deep dive will reveal more but it looks like the leaned in the direction of placating the sim community.

As a manage mode user there were people pushing for the ability to call every pitch in manage mode - more of a catcher mode than manage mode. I noticed in the "manage full game" option it said "manage every pitch of a full 9 inning game". That would ruin manage mode if I have to call every pitch. I believe the developers are too smart to implement something like that. We will find out later this week.

It's really just another way to "play" the game. A kind of a text-sim approach. Also, keep in mind, that the traditional MoM is still in the game.

Okay video. Not much news here. Only explained Critical Moments which I feel is a great feature. Playing Critical Moments in a 30-team franchise could bring a lot of fun and excitment! Allow you to play big moments for every team you otherwise would be simulating through and not even know happened.

Pretty sure Player Lock in Franchise mode has been in the game for a couple of years now.

This video only touched on different ways to simulate games. No mention of Front Office, Launch Pad or other improvements. The Vlog tomorrow will be more and then the Twitch Stream on Thursday. I can't wait

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

So I was definitely hoping for more but after thinking it over and reading some of the other comments I'm hopeful there's a good bit more to see. Most of what I want in franchise is small improvements in game logic, not necessarily the back-of-the-box features these gamestop videos show.

And even if this is the bulk of what we see this year I understand where SDS is coming from. As Ramone has been saying OS is <1% of sales and I bet even of us the people who play a full 162 is smaller than we might think. While we look at this as features that give you more ways not to play, to a lot of people it gets the more involved because the thought of playing anything near 162 games is crazy to them. They might be used to a madden 16 game season and even that added a similar feature.

Gotta love how people judge an entire mode and its updates on a 1:56 video. I would be willing to bet a lot has been added to this mode. Its just too bad we wont find out any more information until the game launches.

Oh wait isn't there a VLog tomorrow and a Deep Dive Twitch Stream on Thursday?

True and changes to ball spin and human AI are already big additions to franchise on the field but in the first franchise promotion if a new feature like create-a-team has been added they missed a great chance to announce it.

I did see budget indicates cash flow per week which is a positive addition. If manage mode franchise is the same as last year with the new gameplay additions I'll be happy but it is understandable for people be let down when they don't see the new feature they wanted.

I love the dugout celebrations. I know they exist in the Show 16, but I've only seen them 2-3 times. I've played a lot of games too. I hope they occur more frequently in 17.

On the map they had something called "territory you can attack" - that's new unless I missed something from the show 16. I wonder if that is related to GM stuff like marketing or tv footprint.

Without having looked at the video yet...that sounds like Conquest mode from Diamond Dynasty.

Yeah, that's DD, if you're talking about the map at :34.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

does any one know if they can add hitter ratings on the quick manage screen ? should the not have R vs L contact/power for hitters so we can do pitcher vs hitter match-ups ?

thanks

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

I'm going to have to seriously consider playing 1 game a week in my franchise using manage only and 1 game a week using quick count.

He also answered a question about manage mode...it's still in.

Knight might flood it, but burn, never.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

Well I think we can put to rest any hope of there being an expansion mode, team relocation, a stadium creator, and non roster invitees in ST.

NRI doesn't strike me as the kind of thing they'd bring up in a video like this, even if it is in.

Agree on the rest.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

I'm a play 1, sim 5 franchise player. That combined with critical situations is huge for me. Simming those 5 games but still being a part of the critical situations is an option I didn't know I needed, now I can't imagine not having that as an option
