The fact that he thinks franchise would be "perfect" if create a team/expansion/stadium creator was in tells you all you need to know about this article. Many more things need to be added to this mode just to put it on the same level as other current sports titles. To argue that this is the main feature holding back the mode is pretty weak and completely ridiculous. Also, not to even consider that MLB is very likely the reason that this mode is not i the game is very short-sighted.

Ahhhhh...2 variables and one equation. My simple algebra does not work here.



No, because there's nothing mandatory about doing missions. I also don't think completing them results in artificial gameplay boosts--my understanding is completing missions just gets you items and packs.

Thanks for the reply. I wonder whether training or progression has been changed. I know you and others did some research last year on training. Were there some attributes which couldn't be improved with training?

I searched but couldn't find a thread with a synopsis.

Thanks

I happen to agree with him, I mean 10 or 11 years ago I could pop in mvp and create a stadium, my own team, it made that mode fun to play. I've been waiting on this for three years now since the ps4 came out, and still nada. Again, exactly what he says, we have a robust uniform creation tool, but can only play online with it, personally I won't play online for various reasons. Oh well, once again, hopefully next year.

Would it be nice to have? Yes it would. However, saying that it is the ONLY thing keeping the mode from being "perfect" is ridiculous. Again, the likely reason it's not in the game is because MLB won't allow it.

Ehh, I get where you're coming from, but it's just an opinion piece. Obviously, no game will ever literally be "perfect" but there are certainly things a lot of people would label as the "if I could have just one or two things" features for their favorite modes. I really think that's all the author is doing here.

Also, the notion that MLB won't allow these features, while often repeated around here, is purely speculation (in fact, we've already been told the "why" about create-a-stadium not being in thus far and MLB approval wasn't it), so I don't think the author not openly considering it should really be held against him.

I honestly believe that we'll at least see something like the DD type customization (hopefully more!) seep into franchise eventually but, of course, that's just my speculation...lol. For now, I'm content to get more info on the quirks and see what other details were added or touched up for 17 when we get the stream later today.

Running speed, pitch velocity, pitcher stamina, and maybe a couple of others.

Of course the cookie cutter stadium builder in MVP created stadiums that did not have near the complexity of The Show ballparks. It would be a nice feature to see someday but I would not hold my breath for it.


That is even more the case now with the zones that they have marked in stadiums so that the announcers can mention where the ball landed.

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Details, Including Player Quirks

When people refer to create a stadium, is the expectation of a list of maybe 3 or 4 pre-made stadiums to choose from or a ground up type build?

Agreed. If/when they do implement create-a-stadium, it will likely take a huge amount of resources to get it done and working properly, and even then it may be a two or three year process to see it through to completion.

The amount of assets it requires to create a single stadium in The Show is several times over what it would take to create multiple stadiums in MVP Baseball. The comparison isn't even remotely close.

Something you build yourself, though just as Dolenz mentioned it would really have to be more complex than MVP gave (just in general plus the passage of time) for this to even be welcomed by gamers. Here is MVP's in a nutshell, which at the time honestly wasn't all that bad:

I think I'd go with "create a batting stance" before "create a stadium," anyway. Even with the hundreds of stances in the game, I still can't find some that match myself or others I know... not to mention we could perfect players' stances that we feel aren't quite right in game as well. That would probably require a new physics engine though (think Euphoria), at the very least.

Thanks. Did anybody submit a bug report or do you think that was done by design?

A more realistic way to do stamina would be to base it on pitch count or innings pitched over a period of time. IRL teams sometimes "stretch out" a reliever to convert him into a starter. The opportunity to do that doesn't currently exist in the show.

I believe from one of the interviews with Russell promoting the game last year that this was a design decision. I remember him saying something along the lines of a players running speed or a pitchers throwing speed wont increase over their career, only decrease.

Or i could be imagining all of this.

Re: More MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Details, Including Player Quirks

That existed in ps2 days and was lost somewhere along the road in ps3 days.

Yeah I was 90% sure I was wrong on that one, and it had to be longer than '15. Getting old and playing the show every year since 06' with Big Papi on the cover.
