Re: Some MLB The Show 16 Conquest & Battle Royale Details Have Been Revealed

Have the devs ever mentioned what percentage of people play the following modes:

Franchise
DD
RTTS

Curious as I've never played DD but it seems like every year it continues to gain steam.

I wonder what they constitute as "playing" as well?

I would always go in and look at the cards, and sold a few doubles that I had. Placed some players at some positons, and played a game or two for the trophies. But I never touched it again after that.

Whereas RTTS I played consistently every day for months, and occasionally dabbled in Franchise.

Technically I played all 3 modes, but I wasn't actually playing DD.

Pass. I'm hoping this is not the start of the show taking the same route EA did with their sports games.

Franchise mode is my main mode like most of us guys on here. But, I enjoy DD and enjoyed the improvements to last years mode. These two new modes look like an extension and will defiently give them a nice look.

I'm actually not worried about them giving attention to DD. Unlike madden, the show dev team puts in hard work every cycle for each new game. Now with much revenue they can make from this I'm actually excited to see what's to come for future titles with new technology being invested.

Same here with other modes. I may touch everything, but I don't say I play online franchise for instance. I wonder if they know how much each individual plays and have a threshold of what constitutes "played". That way people can vote with their play time and we can't be disappointed when resources are spent on the most popular and in the case of DD, most profitable modes.

I know if you check out your player card there is a breakdown of how much experience you've gained from each mode. I'm sure the devs have access to that as well. They probably just add up total experience gained from all players and look at the lump sum total.

While I do think this would be a fair way to judge usage and popularity, I think that franchise would get the shaft a little bit, just because us franchisers will inevitably dabble with the other modes just for fun, while I doubt many people outside of our merry group dabble in franchise.

However, without evidence to back up my claim, it's just hearsay.
