MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

Re: MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

Really?
I can only shake my head.
I find it a boring aspect of any game to discuss....and quite frankly, couldn't care less on how they look as long as they are there and work!

Oh....no numbers.

Oh c'mon Knight! This is such rubbish - you were just as excited as a kid in a candy store once the "boring" stuff was brought in! Don't play me like that!

And rightfully so - look at all the responses to the changes in franchise.



And this is nothing. There's a solid vision for the future and it's only going to get better.

Legionnaire and nomo....two excellent posts on the potential/progression aspect of the game.
Good ideas and yes...a consistency attribute would be a good one IMO.

I think what we all would like is something that Legion alluded to.....give us a real reason to look at and watch over our minor leagues. Auto-pilot is a very good way to put it. I think we would ALL like it to be more dynamic in many ways.
Another thing would be adding coaches/managers to the minors and really have them have some sort of influence on their progression.
Just another reason also, that I would really like to have all attributes and potential as an option...to be hidden in franchise. I want to go off of what I see in regards to stats......and my coaching/scouting reports.


Pared....

I don't mean the content and even layout of those screens.....that definitely is something I'm very interested in.
I was referring to the colors...fonts....etc in terms of actual "look" that doesn't grab me.

But then again...when it does look really good....I'm happy!

Re: MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

Thanks so much for this thread, it is very informative and I appreciate the open and honest communication that is clearly present on OS. I have two questions: Did SCEA properly adjust someone like Gabby Sanchez Hot/Cold Zones because last year his Hitters Zones vs. RHP/LHP were all Blue, and there are others players that need to be updated. (Not to many, maybe 30 or 40 players) My second question is did they fix the logic in SportCast Manager or did they leave this mode untouched for MLB 12:The Show? Thanks everyone for your kindness and patience

The hot/cold zones are supposed be dynamic(in season)...so I'm not sure if they start them in accordance with previous production or just have them start "random". Good question.
SC manager is the same.
Can you tell me what you would like to see in it?...I'll get that into the list I'm sending to the team.
Thanks.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

There are alot more stats this year. RISP, VSL, VSR etc.....tons that you can access anywhere you can highlight a player.

Edit: Those are just a few of the new ones!!

So there's more stats, but are they presented/organized better so that I don't have to constantly scroll several pages? That's always been an area I felt needed much improvement.

Those stats(on the STATISTICS page) are the same....yes...the one you have to scroll for three days to the right.
I guess what they could do is try and use tabs for the different categories. I could definitely suggest that. Would make easier reading.

He's talking about on the player cared....I think it's flip the card...then tab it twice for two pages of stats.

As an Angels fan I'd just like to point out that that is the worst trade I've ever seen (W. Rodriguez for Trumbo and Conger), never would happen in a million years, pending some extreme circumstances. And believe me, I know (from what my team has done before) what terrible trades look like (ex: Vernon Wells for Juan Rivera AND Mike Napoli, just Juan for Vernon would be good enough, Napoli was too much for that trade).

[douggoud]

Wait... will Trout be considered a prospect still do you think? I'd guess so.

He's still considered a prospect by MLB Network, and was #3 on the top 100 Prospects list, so yeah, I'd figure him still to be a prospect.

agreed.
instead of the long scroll to the right to see the stats, how bout using the triggers?
have a set amount on the screen, click r2 to see the next set.

So your favorite team, the Angels, has made terrible trades in the past and you are using that as a baseline for saying that the Angels making terrible trades in the Show is unrealistic?

I don't think they'll have the technology of knowing what teams are likely to execute stupid trades and what aren't

Re: MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

I think we can almost all agree, this looks damn good.

Re: MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

I'm not sold on the improvements, I don't think enough was improved upon or added to increasing the replay value. I was hoping of possibly getting more of a say of the finances, possibly creating a stadium for increased revenue and things of that nature...

Just to let you know they've said plenty of times there will not be create a stadium mode ever on PS3...

Any word on whether any kind of like goals/contract and ability to re-sign after contract or, of course, be fired is back in for 12???

No...not back in '12
This is something I REALLY hope they put back into '13.
Honestly, I never understood why this was taken out.
