    Yeah, which is why it seems like RTTS isn't getting touched outside of storylines. If all it is is some storylines, people aren't going to be too happy. Once you go through the story once it tends to get old in other games. They're so motivated to add storylines to everything this year, at least give us some text interviews or something like that. It sounds like a simple marketing strategy to get new users. Makes me worry they haven't touched much outside cinematics.

      I don’t feel like anyone is really mad that women are in the game. It’s just not realistic. I like realism in this game more than anything, and to this point there are 0 females in MLB. I have no problem with women being in MLB, but to this point it hasn’t happen. If and when it does start to happen then I have no problem with them being included in the game. That’s why I said earlier this feels like inclusion just for the sake of being inclusive.

        LOL! + six more characters. Basically, they would have been better off making a separate softball game and marketing that! This would be a good idea if the gameplay and modes were not broken! Hardcore gamer yes! But that's what they have fed us for the last 10+ years. And yes I am still complaining that there are zero high-five interactions at the plate other than home runs! I suspect the same dead unaware players will be present this year!

        But on the other side of the coin, they did finally after years fix the ability to continue to be player-locked game after game in Franchise mode. So I will stick to MLB 23 until further progression.

        The team seems passionate on stream so I refuse to believe they have given their all on the gameplay development side of things only to introduce this. Terrible marketing move in my opinion.

          I am just wondering from a pure sales perspective of how this mode brings in NEW players. I just can't see many people saying "I have to play MLB the Show now" when they had 0 interest before. It's the same thing with storylines. Not many people are buying the game to play Derek Jeter storylines.

          These are gimmick modes, you dabble maybe once or twice and it's over.
          Gimmick modes like these bring in new customers, even if it’s a few. The people in this forum, myself included, are hardcore gamers and a dying breed. We are the minority when it comes to most of the sales of these games. I say this as someone who has played the show for years and on the fence about this year’s version due to lack of offline and gameplay updates.

          However this can and will bring new players to the game. 2k and EAFC saw the jump in play when they added the women’s leagues and now MLB is trying to do the same for RTTS by allowing players to create women in the game.

          As someone else mentioned, this doesn’t even mean they had to take away resources for the improvements most of us here want in the game. If anything it was a linear addition and they could’ve put time towards making additional fixes and updates but chose not to.

          Also, I’ll never understand why people lose their minds over something that is optional. They aren’t forcing you to create women in the game. They aren’t banning you from playing as a male player. If you don’t want to use them, then don’t. And no need to create made up concerns like this leaking into franchise mode. If they haven’t updated Franchise mode much in years, they aren’t going to spend time including women in it or forcing you to use them in it.

            This is not an unfair argument, but as far as we know female players will be an option in RTTS and Toni Stone will appear in Storylines (and maybe as a reward in DD - a mode defined by its fantasy aspect).

            Anything else is speculation and it’s fair for others to be skeptical of the motives of some of the more vitriolic speculation we’ve seen on this thread about female players being forced into franchise draft pools etc.

              Re: MLB THE SHOW 24 - RTTS BLOG AND TRAILER - WOMEN PAVE THEIR WAY

              As many other have stated, I do not mind the addition. Baseball is a game I wish had more eyes on it so the more the better.

              Baseball is for everyone after all.

              But I just truly do not understand the direction this game has gone. The past few years it has really dwindled down to us non-online players begging for 1, possibly 2 features being added to Franchise. Most of these years we hardly receive that.

              Now we’re 10 days from release and have no information on Franchise. I find it hard to believe that the last Feature premiere isn’t going to be about DD.

              The marketing campaign for The Show used to be the best of any Sports Game IMO. Trailers including players, celebrities, gameplay, etc (Dustin Pedroia years were special lol)

              These days I’m left hoping we can get more than 2 minutes of gameplay in each hour long feature premiere.

                I don’t play RTTS so excuse the ignorance but has the draft combine game been in previous versions or is it new this year?

                  It’s new. In years past they had Showcase games where you’d play 3 games and find out where you got drafted after that based on performance.

                    Ok thanks

                    I’m hoping that it possibly finds its way into franchise

                      Now that would be exciting. They already have 60 times. Could add Swing Speed, Velo from OF/IF, Exit Velo etc.

                      A prospects game would be fun too.

                        Would also like to see the ability to scout guys at multiple positions. Think of SS with bad defensive stats but great arm becoming a pitcher and things like that. Also having to train guys to play at other positions as either a primary or backup (potential to move an OF to 1B or DH later in their careers).

                        I know it’s off topic but I’ve been hoping to see something similar in the last two years.

                          Ppl upset on this, yet are boosting the stats to make sure that the Cubs/White Sox face each other in the World Series each year but asking for "realism". Cmon man, we play the game to our own standards/options

                          Let young ladies that enjoy baseball see themselves, it aint gon take away anything for inclusion.


                          This doesn't mean Franchise was pulled from the game to include women cyber faces.


                          This doesnt RTTS was taken off, it simply means you can create Monae Davis if you wanted.

                          Hopefully we hear more on Franchise and more before release cause for sure but ..wow man.

                          Not going to buy the game cause more human beings in the world can see themselves represented? For real?

                            It's not that new.

                            They stopped doing showcase games a couple iterations ago and replaced it with the combine type performance.

                              NOBODY is saying that. Why do people keep coming on here and hammering this point home? Read the room.

                              Outside of 1 guy who got banned today I have not seen anyone upset that woman are in the game.

                              It's moreso that THIS and storylines are the big features this year and everything else is neglected.

                                Sigh. Kinda cool I guess, but I think the large majority would’ve preferred pull over jerseys or more classic stadiums tbh. Even more equipment would be nice. I’d guess that less than one percent of the player base is female.
