MLB The Show 16 Twitch Stream - Franchise Mode & Gameplay (Archive Available)

Franchise mode wasn't neglected. Online Franchise was. I just can't play the AI anymore in any game..just completely lifeless.

Linking progression to stats is redundant and creates a circular flow. Player performance is affected by ratings, but now ratings are affected by player performance.

In real life, players don't get better because they bat .300, they bat .300 because they get better.

Bad idea.

Agreed. Avisal Garcia went from 72 contact vs lefties to 62. That is drastic. He did hit .143 I Believe. While I wouldn't mind SOME regression, how is he ever going to get better? He wont, it will only continue to drop.

I like some performance based progression but that seems drastic to me.

(3) Blockbuster free agent signing screens shows player in new uni. (4) Morale system (not optional, can't turn off) has 7 components (only 4 factor into signing free agents) (5) Scouting system with more info on generated players (not just 4 attributes, but all attributes given) and 20-80 system (6) Generated players a bit more life-like appearance (7) Full career and season stats tracked and sortable by player (8) Ratings progression heavily tied to stats (saw a -9 and -10 applied after one season of batting terribly against LHPs) (9) Trade logic changed, trade frequency slider added (10) Luxury tax and revenue sharing added to financial system (11) New budget screens including payroll 5 years into the future (12) WAR stat (custom formula, but appears mostly similar to major websites) includes defense and positional adjustment for position players (13) Considering a player import into franchise feature for next year None of these updates are for online and if it isn't on this list, the answer is most likely no.

Nope nothing new here.

JMO:

This stream lost a lot of its thunder due to the leaked GT video. We probably weren't supposed to find out about career stats until Tuesday's vlog, and that's a huge addition for anyone who plays the mode long-term. It seems like by now, after the leaked trailer, that people are taking that addition for granted already and not considering it "new". Same for morale - that changes the whole structure of roster composition and contract signings (I'm actually a bit curious how the game will handle editing contracts now with that in place). Those were supposed to be huge reveals this week.

This would have been a pretty informative stream - even in the 30 minutes or so that they talked about franchise - if that video hadn't leaked. Even so we still got some nice tidbits like the blockbuster sign/trade thing and playoff pitcher fatigue being rebalanced.
