MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Franchise Mode, HDR Confirmed (Archive Available)

[Factzzz]

I just noticed Texas was wearing white pants on the road with their blue jerseys in the stream.

This was a problem a couple years ago where road teams would wear their home white pants with their alternates. I know the Twins had this problem in the past, and in the stream Texas does now.

I just imagine I am the guy saying "It's incredibly hard", because it is.

I will say visual basic programming was much easier

Ramone or someone from SCEA can you explain why DD has inside edge but franchise does not? Inside edge is a core feature or should be a core feature of franchise.

Ok so here is my 2 cents my how we could see interleague rotating schedule in a future version of The Show. First year say 2018 as a example the interleague is set like normal. Fast forward to the next season give us menu option to pick which division we play. No idea if it's possible or what kind of issues that could cause with the schedules. But hey it's a idea and maybe a option.

Main thing I've gotten out of this stream is it's going to be way easier to get through seasons of Franchise.

I find myself going super slow through seasons for fear of missing something of note in my franchise. For example, after every day of simulating, I pour over every team's boxscore, to see if someone had a no hitter, or if someone had a three HR game, or to see if the starter broke 15ks, or so on and so forth.

With these critical moments, I won't have to slow down so much. I get to the heart, what I want to see, and I get to pass over so much of the stuff that prevents me from finishing seasons quickly.

Additionally, I LOVE what the created characters are starting to look like. I still need to take close examination once I get into an actual game, but it's going to prompt me to want to play, long after the Noah Syndergaards of the world retire and leave me with just generated talent. I haven't been so excited to play with generated characters since about 2005, when all the characters looked the same because of limitations.

tl;dr, I'm stoked, and I'm sold.

Sorry for not talking about Franchise but if I can get quirks on my RTTS characters I will be beyond giddy. I love getting deep into counts and walking, so some of those quirks would be really fun to try and actually earn on a character to give them some more personality. Definitely looking forward to the RTTS stream even more now.

I honestly might use the mode but it's a lot less likely if I can't see the pitch count. I'll even take pressing a few buttons to get to it. But if I have to load up the game to see it every time then I won't be using it much. Hard to manage a bullpen when you have no idea how many pitches your starter has thrown.

This is my only concern with it as well.

You can't see pitch count. You can see pitcher energy.
