Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

I would love it if the CPU re-sign logic was solid this year, especially with their minor league blue chip guys.

I really don't want to control all 30 teams and do all of the grunt work.

One thing I didn't see on the free agent screen was where compatriot's would factor into free agent decisions. I thought another article stated that was part of the process, perhaps I missed it.

Edit : just watched the other video again. The compatriot is for foreign players and region for USA players. ..really cool! !

So during free agency the players will take into account other things besides just money?

Yes, they take into account each of the 6 categories shown.

I really like that. Last year you could throw money at any player you wanted and they were yours.

I really like everything I've seen so far. I love that we can offer players a role this year. I've tried to self impose this in my franchise already so it will be much easier. Hopefully this will also eliminate CPU teams from signing multiple star players at one position. The new budget screen and info is awesome as well. I'm still split on morale. I'm hopeful about it and can't wait to hear more. As long as it's not to sensitive I think it will be a good addition.

I'm really liking the additions of the morale system....and the tie ins for FA signings and expectations.

I can't wait to see how they actually work(I'm sure we'll all have suggestions for improvements day 1!!! )


I really wonder....on this aspect....If I promise a guy to be my starting 2B...but don't use him....will it REALLY impact his decision to leave or stay when he is a FA?.....and if it does....it has a "memory"...not that putting him as the starter for the last week of the season changes his decision(and I don't mean as a cheat.....but let's say I used someone else...they got hurt and I then used the player I promised the starting slot)

I may be the minority here but I really hope that if you promise a player "starter" and place him on the bench his ratings take a major hit. It would simulate the disgruntled player and lower the trade value. (Hopefully the morale ratings are what are used for trade purposes)

This would prevent cpu and human teams from signing a bunch of starter type players and using them as depth or trade fodder.

I like this overall, trade slider was huge for me. Got incredibly tired of seeing block buster trades on April 13th. Comforting to know that I can just turn the trades off for like April and then gradually ramp up to the deadline with the slider. Free agents seem harder to sign. They have a lot going in now with the human player element (i want to be an ace and anything short of that is not acceptable, etc.). If you have a great team but want that extra big name free agent, lets say for example if you're the Cubs and you want Bautista for a playoff push, if you don't have room for him in outfield (and no DH slot) it seems like he would ignore a boatload of cash (unless you give him your whole budget lmao). That definitely adds something as I found I could sign big name starters and put them in the bullpen which they would never agree to in real life

The thing is you can probably promise him a starting outfield spot during the offer process even if you didn't really have the spot and he'd be none the wiser because it's a video game. You'd still get to sign him and he'd only become unhappy when the season began and his playing time was somewhat limited.

Does anyone know if the player morale is in RTTS also or just Franchise, like would I be able to choose how I want the manager to use me or tell me I would be happier and able to play better if I signed with the Cardinals instead of Diamondback? Thanks in advance to anyone who knows if it works like this

Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

I hope the sortable individual stats can be viewable by individual team, as well as divisional, AL, NL, and MLB. So you can keep hitting R1/L1 to go through the teams and also have the divisions, leagues, and MLB stats available.

I really hope. It's pretty basic functionality, to be honest.

And team stats...please, please, please give us sortable team stats.

It would also be nice to be able to filter by situational splits (vs. RHP, vs. LHP, RISP, etc) instead of having individual stat columns for each (i.e, AB vs LHP, AVG vs LHP, H vs LHP) that add tons of clutter and make the information hard to consume.

I hope stats are done right overall.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

Surely some of these things made there way into online franchise?

Well I can hope.

Would be great if the devs could answer this during the stream on Thursday.

Re: MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

Out of everything they have shown this peaked my interest the most. Im still holding off for user feedback and reviews before buying.

My ONLY question is whether or not my players "fake" stats from MLB 14 and 15 will carry over in my year-to-year save file or if those are lost.
