MLB The Show 18 Twitch Stream Starting Now - Franchise Mode

[Speedy]

Do they still have community days? I feel like THAT'S when this game was really making strides (roster vault, 30-team control, stadium updates, MOM, etc.)...seems like that hasn't happened in a couple of years.

I remember when 42, Nemesis, Pared, Knight, (PyschoBulk in recent years) and a few others (Enigma went too, right?) would go out to SD and represent OS to show the dev team what we wanted to see in this mode and how they could improve it.

Show us an example where trade logic worked to that of real life for any sports game, please. Even with all the nostalgia in the world, for games of the past, it does not cover up that this is a problem that can never be close to perfect. There is just way too many variables. It has been improving, but you are always going to get some wonky logic without the 'human element' involved.

Yeah, they do not do them anymore. In the age of streaming, social media, and content providers... that is the new avenue they are using.

I would definitely be down for a resurgence of them, if they ever explored than avenue again. There were a lot of good exchanges, and I also learned a lot as well. Sometimes where I wish I was still ignorant to a lot of things, because I am seeing the same misconceptions I would have made prior to that, lol.

Tbarnes was there as well, I remember he was the heavy Franchise guy, Knight with MoM, (I was the stadium/uniforms dude, and some RttS), etc..

The menus look good. I really like the rule 5 notification, to me that was one of the more annoying aspects of roster management in the off-season in previous years. Glad that they improved player retirements too. I hope players don't drop off a cliff with regression as frequently. I got tired of seeing Bryce Harper dramatically regress before he hit age 30 in MLB the show 16. I wish they would have actually played the draft so I could see how the generated players look, but I guess if nothing is new, what's the point? I am going to wait and see what people have to say about the game on the forum before I decide to purchase, but there is a good chance I end up getting it because i skipped 17 and I have always loved the gameplay of the show. I was hoping for more franchise improvements this year though.

Jake Odorizzi for Jermaine Palacios straight up.

What I meant was, a piece of code that governs sports trades will always have some weird results because of all the human elements involved.

OOTP and Football Manager are pretty good if not damn close.

As far as non-text based sports games I would say that NBA 2k has gotten it done the best right now.

Nothing is 110% but they're the top running at this moment regarding trade logic.

It's not 110% perfect but it's pretty good.

Who’s to say Stanton goes and hits say 40 HRs this year.

A great year. But the Yankees want Harper. They trade Stanton for maybe not a great package. But get that contract off the books and grab Harper.

That could easily happen. The baseball trade market is probably next to the NHL the most difficult to navigate and program for.

AS, I followed you on here for a long time. I'm an avid fan of your slider sets over the course of MANY different sports games and I think you're a pretty down to earth and cool guy from knowing you on your Twitch streams....

But dude you've lost it...

There is no way the Yankees would give up on Stanton to get Harper unless Stanton had a bad injury or he just flat out "lost it".

Not in a million years bro.
