I want to say that your team record, and opponents team record play a role in determining crowd sizes. I remember hearing this a while back I believe. I don't know if it has changed or not.

I remember once playing the Indians, and they were on a 15 Game losing streak. And it actually looked like there was only 500 people in attendance. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if that was because of the Time of year, and I never played them again for rest of the season. My Team was in first place

I thought the asteriks ***** ***** was 'Sound Board' as part of the MLB Network broadcasting team. You would never miss Harold.

Just the Chop House in Atlanta from what we know of so far.

Pretty sure Russell mentioned a few others as well.

Yep I was right just watched the stream again and Russell said they added
a few like "Hit it here Cafe" at Safeco Field plus a few more I guess that he did not talk about.

I hope "Harry the K's" Restaurant at Citizens Bank Park was also added since they seem to have now added real restaurant names to the game

As of MLB The Show 17 Citizens Bank Park still needed a lot of updates. And every year I keep getting let down. So lets hope 18 is finally the year that Citizens Bank Park gets a ton of love lol

I have no confidence this will happen. None.

All the years of sending photos in hasn't amounted to anything. Don't see why this year would be different.

I really feel bad for Phillies fans, because it seems like their park is way off every year. It isn't anything I'd personally notice because I'm not that familiar with the park in real life or in the game. But man, I see all kinds of posts every year around this time of things in that park that needs changed, and it never seems to be addressed.

It's always been my main complaint about the game honestly. The Liberty Bell is never lit properly. In the game it is always lit up white and all of it is lit. In real life, only the outline of it is lit and the color changes throught the game between red or blue. Liberty Bell celebration has never been accurate either. Back in the 2016 season they added a new small HD scoreboard in right field attached to the second deck. In MLB 17 they added a board but all it was was black with the inning box across the whole thing. Not even close to real life. Like they didn't even try.

I know I'll probably get attacked by the OS grizzled vets who think their beloved franchises can do no wrong but, that was a very underwhelming video. I thought Harold was a very refreshing voice in the booth last year and they replace him with a guy that sounds and talks just like the other guys. Also, no new features were announced for franchise mode besides some very minor things. I hope they have more announcements regrading franchise mode.

Probably will hear something when the franchise mode deep dive happens in a few weeks.

I mostly play road to the show so something I've always wanted in terms of Crowd A.I. is for them (and announcers) to react when you're playing in your home state or on a former team. You see opposing team fans holding up signs that say "Welcome home [ROTS Player]", "Texas. Major export; [ROTS Player]". Just world building stuff that connects you more to your story. Also I want to see the slow trickle of my player's jersey as I gradually establish myself in the league and it would be cool if you saw some fans sporting your old Jerseys in the stands so say it's a Giants/Dodgers game but you used to be on the Padres you see one fan in the stands rocking your Padres jersey. Just to make you feel like your story has a history and the AI in the game remembers it.

One other little piece I noticed in this video.............don't know what cleats these are, but they are definitely not in 17

Another element of presentation I'd like to see in the game - a starting pitcher should leave the game to a standing 'O' if he has worked a great game. Seems sad to me that a reliever comes in for a starter who performed well with almost no fanfare whatsoever. The pitcher should exit with the crowd on their feet and his teammates in the dugout clapping his effort.

That actually does happen, but not nearly as often as it should.

I believe these are the new Trouts. Seen them in a couple other videos.
