Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream is LIVE - Franchise Mode

I know you guys are a small dev team but only 1 guy doing franchise is pretty crazy. Especially with an in-depth mode like that. Any plans in the future to add to the franchise team to focus more on it?

I would volunteer my services to work on franchise mode for free, startling like now.

I thought the stream started pretty fitting by them asking "for those you don't knon what franchise is" which is what basically every feature is geared towards. Outside of player quirks and top 100 prospects, SDS should feel ashamed for this years features they focused on. Also lol at all the white knights who told everybody to wait for other features that clearly weren't coming. Gameplay, presentation, and visuals still improved and will be a day 1 purchase, but the franchise gimmicks this year mimick something ea sports would do imo

Not to mention the pitchers motions are still slow and numbers with name plates are still low too despite them saying.....never mind, it won't change anything!

I do wish the Quick Manage screen showed pitch count. Maybe they can add it in for next year. Really love the new additions overall this year though.

The pitching motions added this year look better, like the Edwin Diaz one. But the ones from the last couple years still look terrible, like the Drew Smyly one.

So if I'm on the Mets front end, then go to View Today's games and simulate the Dodgers vs. Giants game, I can't get a Critical Situation?

That is workable. Though it seems you could miss out on some throughout the season. If you go to Dodgers front end, you'd miss out on a Giants Critical Moment.

No sir if you are on the Mets in the FE then you only see the Mets games on the schedule. You will only get CS for the team you currently have selected in the FE.

Got it. Thanks Ramone. Makes sense. Appreciate the explanation!

Franchise was nothing more than "hey guys you ignored these options, on the options screen, so we made these menu panels so you can actually see these options". A GUI upgrade, sprinkled with a "quirk" system.

Has access to Inside Edge and in year 2, it is still only a diamond dynasty feature. Inside Edge is first and foremost a franchise feature if there ever was one.

Humm ok...so I guess you can't play CS from other teams in the league when simming a day or 2 unless you select another team when simming that day.

Let say I'm the Mets who's having a Monday off but would like to play the CS on that Monday. Only way is to pick a team, sim that day and prey to have a CS for that team that day !!???

Ramone is there a reason you can only switch to 3 teams rather than every team in the offseason? I would love to switch from a high payroll to a low payroll without restarting a franchise.

Yes that is correct. Whomever teams schedule you are looking at is the one you will get critical moments for when you sim on the schedule screen.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream is LIVE - Franchise Mode

I have been hesitant with the state of the forums lately to share my opinion on all this but I have actually been writing this for a day or so and I think it works they way I intend it to.

I, like most of you, have been a fan of The Show for a long time. We each have our own reasons why this game is important to us and those reasons are as varied as the way we play the game.

I play Franchise and RTTS exclusively. I have messed with DD and Battle Royale a little bit. But those modes are just not for me. I like collecting the cards and use the equipment in RTTS of course. But I don't care about it's status. I will use a bat because it a Louisville Slugger not because its a Gold or Diamnond.

I love these modes and I know I lot of you do too. I play every inning of every game, just like a lot of you as well. What I don't do anymore is play a lot of other games. I reallized about two years ago that I was buying all of these games and I would play The Show and one or two RPG's in the course of a year. That realization has changed the way I do things now. Last year I bought 5 games total and so far this year I have bought one. The Show will be number 2.

The Show is my go to game, 2 or 3 games a day, more if I have a day off. This is the way I like to play. Slow and steady, I love when my games take 2 hours and I consider it time well spent. I was super excited for '17 and I guess in a way I still am a bit. I am all for options and I am glad they are a successful developer, they certainly deserve to be. I have the utmost respect for them and their game. They have done things for me personally that are simply amazing.

With all of that said. I am not really happy for the direction the game is taking. I am happy for all of the new players, I am happy for The Games success, I happy for the Developers. But I am not happy for me. Every year it seems the game gets a little further away from the game I want it to be and thats fine. Thats the way these things work. I will purchase '17 day one but then I think it is time for a break from the yearly cycle. I usually get about 4-5 years of a franchsie done and I rarely carry over becuase The Show always seemed to give me a reason to want to start over. This year with the additions of AI, lighting, models, uniforms, new park for Atlanta, updates for RTTS etc. I will be starting over again.

The difference is this time I think its for good. While I still believe The Show is a good product, it is changing into something that does not interest me. Maybe down the road things will change and I hope they do. But I think I can be content with '17 and let time move on without me.

Wish you all the best and see you in the ballparks.

I'll keep playing the game and keep buying it but the direction they are going in franchise isn't where I think they should be going. Last year they added quick counts. This year quick manage and critical situations. I wonder if they have crunched the numbers and determined that's how most people want to play franchise mode - primarily as a sim.

I like the addition of quirks and after Luis explained it I like it even more but would have preferred programmer time spent on something like adding create-a-team to franchise instead of the stuff they added. To me - speaking only for myself - quick manage and critical situations do not add depth but just the opposite.

I'll keep buying the game though because baseball is my favorite game and the show is the best baseball game currently on the market.

Does this include AAA teams. If I have played my Bluejays game for the day, am on the Bisons schedule, and want to go to the next day can I sim that game and maybe get a critical situation?
