MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

[WaitTilNextYear]

Sort of a belated thought after I watched the earlier dev stream, but updates to the generated players (see the year 2052 "The Future" franchise save) has implications for fictional roster creators. Maybe the best way to kickstart editing a fictional roster is to sim far into the future with CPU Roster Control 'on.' Then export the generated players out one by one and import them into a new roster. If the faces and equipment are that much better than in the past, it'll shave off hundreds of editing hours--editors would just need to focus on re-rating and re-naming the players (the names for the generated players are still pretty bad, lol).

Some of the Quirks are dynamic, some are not.

While a lot of the stuff I really wanted for Franchise Mode is still left out, I can't say that I didn't get enough to get me exicited again. It is ok to be exicited and disappointed at the same time. And I agree with Mill, more folks playing Franchise Mode means more focus in future editions. Fingers crossed those future editions start next year.

Forgive me if I missed this somewhere, but I wonder if starting from the regular season will solve the annoyance of having lineups, bullpens, and rotations being automatically generated by the CPU based on how they think the lineups should be set up. I know in years past the devs said there was nothing they could do to avoid this. If we can now keep the rosters how they are straight from OSFM Opening Day, that would be a game changer and save a lot of time for people with making 25 man rosters and having to re-adjust lineups and what not.

Is there a single MLB team that uses the same exact lineup every single game?

Just trying to help talk you off the cliff!

Great video.

I would love to see a quirk for OBP. I have a very hard time taking base on balls even with players with a very good eye.(Jose Bautista for example)
Though I'm not sure how a quirk like this could be implemented.

Maybe the controller could actually shock you when you swing at a bad pitch? Lol

2052, I thought we were limited to 30 years into franchise? When was this changed?
