I didn’t watch the stream, are we capable of trading draft picks, cash or PTBNL?

They didn't mention it so I would say no

Just getting to watch the stream now and early on I’ve noticed that Conforto is on the Giants. Hopefully other players that people are wanting will be in too.

Great catch I did not see that. I hope that means Tatis, Senga, and the likes are already in

I saw someone mention the limited stadiums with an outside view. I am sure its only limited due to time, money, and effort needed to get that done. I would not be surprised if next year they announce any missing have been added.

I did notice and again this might have happened in old versions and I just never noticed. Losing draft picks if someone signs one of your guys. That is cool though that might have always been there.

I did think of one thing they did not mention that I guess will stay the same. Stats, I would have loved for them to make it to where you can go and check a minor league player and see the stats they had in AA, AAA, etc and not have them disappear Nothing make or break for me just would love to see it.

Well, that sealed the deal for me…

Preordered the digital deluxe edition last night after stream.

Franchise - a few things I still want back in but overall, like where it’s going. I still want to change my damn hotdog prices but always next year.

What got me was their presentation update. So little yet something I actually like that got me off guard was the regional presentation overlays.

It's clear the only way they will fix franchise issues is with an overhaul. And with the resources going elsewhere, they can only overhaul a small portion each year. So big step in right direction, but still a long time before Franchise is actually fixed.

I miss being excited for this series. I have zero interest in DD and other card games. I like simulation play, which is why Franchise and RTTS have always been my favorite modes.

The game looks great…presentation upgrades are cool but after seeing them 2-3 times I end up skipping them.

I’m at the point where I’m still begging for features in All-Star Baseball on the PS2. Mostly I’m talking about their expanded records books. They had record stats for everything and even had team records. I remember drafting a player and watching them climb up career leaderboard for my team.

It was great because announcers would even recognize these feats. “And with that hit, this player has moved up to number 5 on the team’s all-time hits leaders!” Or “They’re only 3 home runs away from passing #playername# on the MLB career home run list to move into 10th All-Time!”

It made things feel organic and alive. If the player won an MVP or RoY, they’d even recognize that. “Last years MVP takes his first swing of the season.” Or “He was struggling to start this season but as a 2025 (this is 2027 season) Rookie of the Year, he’s got the tools to turn it around.”

I won’t even get into Expansions teams and how teams would get new stadiums (pre-rendered) as franchise moved on.

Even without the commentary recognizing it, just seeing better career leader stats and both expanded MLB and Team records would add a lot of replay ability for me. They even had season and game records for the league and team. It just made it feel like a living world.

For those talking about graphics, I really wonder how much of that has to do with still releasing for last Gen consoles. Maybe they are thinking, why spend time/effort/resources in graphics when it would then have to be dumbed down for last Gen consoles.

Idk. I don’t think graphics are bad. But are behind other games on next Gen consoles.

Possibly this. I also think, if they were to update the graphics that would take more resources away from other modes and it’s maybe not the highest priority currently which I would agree with. Graphics are not bad, there not the best among other next gen games as you said but there will always be a mismatch if we’re comparing it to other games.

I like what I saw but of course I'm still wanting more. There are some features we've been asking for that still aren't coming. This is definitely a step in the right direction and I am happy to see some time invested into Franchise after a few years of neglect. Still, there are some items that other titles have that just seem like SSD is just falling behind by not giving us yet.

I finally watched the stream from yesterday. WOW did they spend a huge amount of time on the draft.

I really wanted them to talk about how they improved bullpen logic, but we'll find out how it works in '23 and if I have to use workarounds again.

The draft stuff looks very cool.

Liked what I saw from the new presentation stuff definitely. Bring on March 24!!!! Ready to get my new franchise rollin.

Re: MLB The Show 23 Franchise, MTO, Presentation and Commentary Feature Premiere Brea

I just wish people would acknowledge the good because there was definitely some good in that stream yesterday. The draft stuff wasn’t anything groundbreaking but it’s a huge stride forward in an area of franchise needed a drastic upgrade. And the presentation really took a step forward as well. Are there other areas that we as fans would like to see addressed? Of course. But have to give some credit where credit is due.

I think for me the graphics look great. I really look at other games and do not notice much of a difference. I attribute that to me getting older and my eyes not seeing things as well as they use to. Its like I have a 4K ultra HD tv. I see people talk about OLED> I look at OLED and see no difference

getting old is not fun.

I agree I think it just always boils down to that old saying. You will NEVER make everyone happy at anything in life. Never happens. If a QB throws 52 tds in a season and 0 picks but in the super bowl misses a pass on the last throw to win the game people will say he had a bad season. no such thing as making everyone happy.

I feel like people want OOTP in MLB the show . OOTP has like every feature in baseball you can ask for . Nothing is missing. BUT OOTP is never going to pay the money it would take to use player likeness on the graphics so the graphics will never match MLB the show graphics.

Does the show put way to much time in DD and such . Ofcourse they do but that is not their fault its the consumer. Its us. People spend money on things for DD and streamers stream about it so it makes money. So they are going to do it.

I am sure the makers of the game work hard, they care, and try the best they can with the time and resources they have to work with

Had/Have some doubts still
But it will be a early release purchase for me
My biggest concern is without updated player scans them showing the guys coming up to bat may look bad and it will be interesting how created players will look also
