    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.

      Quick Manage: It shows in the middle how the players have done so far in the game (1-1 for example) but it would be nice to see what actually happened so far, or the details of those at bats if you will. If a player is 0-2, was it 2 k's? Line out, ground out? 2 ground outs and a walk? Or if a player is 3-3 I would like to know if they have a single, 2 home runs or whatever other combination you can think of.

      Unless I just missed it on the screen? If not, might be something they can add to it next year.

          Wooooooooow. Thats a massive disappointment. It seems like every year they say they tried but It's too time consuming.

            Well that's disappointing

            But I recall discussing before and Ramone saying it was difficult to program

            I can't shave with my eyes closed, meaning each day I have to look at myself in the mirror and respect who I see.

              Anyone know if mid-season contract extensions have been put in?

I know they had to show off their new features but I was hoping we'd get more of the obscure, smaller things that the videos earlier in the week didn't cover. The closest we got to that was the PCI size comparison on Player quirks (which was nice to see, granted - it was something I was curious about and it's good we'll be able to see the difference in-game).
                Dude I'm worried there aren't any differences. They bankrupted their resources on graphics and RTTS, and completely said "screw it" to Franchise mode. If they made changes to AI team trading/signings, in-season extensions, player progression, ect., their headline for their stream would be "In-depth look at GM/Team AI overhaul as rival organizations attempt to outwit and outplay your franchise"...

                Something tells me the mode is nothing but Quirks with a couple knew game progression features.

                  I am going to say with 99% certainty the answer is no.

                      I'm disappointed create-a-team wasn't included in franchise but I do like what they have added to the game this year and plan to play the heck out of it.

                      Quirks were better explained although there are still questions.

                      Only some quirks impact attributes, others are simply a visual display of what the attributes reflect.

                      Examples of those which impact attributes are guys who hit better home/road and guys who hit better day/night. And, importantly, a guy who gets a boost during day game will get an accompanying decline in night games. That should keep the game balanced.

                      Something I wonder about is guys who play better 9th inning or later - do they play worse prior to the 9th inning? Also there is a quirk for guys who hit better with men on base - is that already in the game with clutch rating or do they get a boost in attributes with men on base and an accompanying decline with bases empty?

                      Different topic - graphics are phenomenal. Players look the real guy is standing there.

                      Overall I like the changes but I'm disappointed create-a-team didn't make it into franchise.

                        I skimmed back through, didn't see anything.

                        I'm not really sure how they could not touch player progression, I'm sure they have their reasons though.

                        This feels a lot like Madden 2011 ... maybe worse as I like this series more.

                          Right? If their focus is on letting the player build, contend and sustain their franchise that they've grown, why not let them lock players into deals to build a core?? Unrealistic for it to be out. Instead of us having a chance to extend a 27 year old Anchor for our team, or an All-Star leadoff hitter, you must wait til the 5 day grace period or whatever after the Postseason, and that can be a crapshoot if it's a player like Machado, Harper, Syndegaard, DeGrom ect.

                            Because it's astronomically difficult, again we are a small dev team relative to other sports titles. We have one programmer for Franchise mode 1. And he's amazing but its one body.

                            The first thing we looked at this cycle back in April of last year for franchise mode was rotating schedules I want this feature, Luis, wants this feature Daniel the programmer wants this feature.

                            He looked at the code and told us we can't do this in 8 months it's too much code, too risky, and that would be the only thing we got. So we choose to work on Quick manage and critical situations. We love these features, our SVT wants these features and they took all 8 months to implement correctly.

                            Nothing is as easy as it might seem on the outside.

                              A lot of you need to remember that the casual base makes up more than the "hardcore" player base. They will always shift towards the former because it makes them more money. No different from them focusing on DD more because it makes them more money and casuals would rather collect cards than manage budgets.
