      Do you honestly think they are going to release every piece of info for Franchise in a blog? How about everyone watch the stream tonight before walking the plank.

      For us Phillies fans it appears we may have finally been listened to with fixes to Citizens Bank Park. The new scoreboard in the right field second deck that was added 2 seasons ago is now accurate. Can't wait to see if the Liberty Bell lighting was fixed also.

        As for me, I stick to Franchise and RTTS. I wasn't expecting anything major but I'm kind of bummed we still haven't gotten dynamic/rotating schedules. I think Phases will really help me out though.
        We have been asking for relocation/expansion and a create-a-stadium feature for years. They already have the uniform creator in diamond dynasty- just put it in franchise. The Show’s franchise mode is literally years behind every other sports title’s franchise mode.

          It's very strange that they had to delay the franchise mode blog two whole days with so little information and so little done.

          I'm wondering if they're just messing with us and the big reveal is tonight in the stream.

            I'm not surprised that not much was done. It has come to be expected.


            That being said, I doubt that things like rotating schedules is something that would make the cut for what is essentially a marketing video and blog. So while I would not hold my breath, I would not completely give up hope yet

              I'll be interested in the seeing if the stream reveals anything else. I know some people will be happy about retro mode in franchise but so far I haven't seen anything that screams must have. Not bashing SCEA, but for the first time since I bought a PS3 for the Show I haven't preordered and am leaning towards not purchasing.

              That may change, but I'm still enjoying 17 and it doesn't look like they changed any of the franchise things I didn't like. Plus, continuing with 17 will eliminate losing even more players from my 14 carryover franchise.

                Who makes a blog and not reveal anything new? Phases isn't anything new, just a streamline.

                  Re: PS BLOG: Everything New in MLB The Show 18’s Franchise Mode

                  About what I expected. But I will say this. I know a lot of people complain that this mode is getting stale. Maybe it is. But they fixed some legacy issues (apparently, we will see when we can actually play) and some problems I had with last years game. IF they just fine tune and tweak and fix things that have been broken for years, I am good.

                  I know I am in the minority but I think overall franchise mode is solid. Yes I wish there was more depth/stats/financials etc. But I would rather have solid game play and all the little annoying crap fixed. They have said they fixed the outfield jogging to the ball, passed balls, catcher animations, tiered fielding animations, tuned hitting.They even touched up stadiums (yes I play my minor league games too) Im good, franchise should be tight this year.

                  If they can fix AI roster management, bullpen logic etc. I will be even happier. But I am actually happy that things did not get stripped down or play accelerated nonsense added in. So I will watch the stream tonight when I get home and NOW I will most likely pre order.

                    I'm kinda wondering if this isn't everything. Why would they delay the Franchise blog a whole TWO days for basically nothing being done?

                      So many people today are going to lose their minds over a blog before even seeing the stream that will be way more detailed than written words.

                      I can't wait for the stream tonight.

                          I can see some retro players who wanted more meaning to the mode other than simple exhibition games might be pleased, but I would be surprised if many, or any, existing franchise players will be happy with Retro mode.

                            Ok. They talked about Phases in the blog. That doesn't mean the entire stream tonight is going to be nothing but that.

                              Actually like that you can play franchise games in retro mode.

                              Going to do a fantasy draft with legend players for a franchise and play every game in retro mode!

                                Yeah, I'm a little confused on the lack of emphasis on Franchise, I could somewhat see RTTS and DD being big with other sports games especially. Baseball just lends itself to the older, more franchise-oriented players I would think.

                                As for if they are holding anything back, I doubt it, you have to figure this is all for promotion to sell more games, the Playstation blog is going to be seen by way more people on the fence about buying it or not than the stream is.

                                Let's just hope little things like trade/FA logic, etc. have been worked on.
