Re: Information on Franchise and RTTS Pave Your Path

I hate NBA2K career mode. I don't really need a story mode but I hope it's not similar to NBA2K, where they basically lock you into one life and one personality.

I'm certain it isn't anything like NBA2k where they give you a persona. More like dialogue options you have with teammates and managers.

I swear I've never been more excited for a video game in my life. Lol

Re: Information on Franchise and RTTS Pave Your Path

I'm not a fan of NBA 2k's career mode storyline thing either. I want variations of a career life in the MLB. I want off-the-field issues. I want rivalries. Maybe I have an issue with my contract and my morale goes low and I affect the team where they have to either deal me in a trade or pay me what i want, or make me suffer and let me go at the end of the year.

Maybe there's another player on the team that I am bumping heads with, or another player that is my mentor and driving me to be better.

I want a realistic MLB career.

I'm actually perfectly okay with a story mode...so long as it's OPTIONAL.

If you force it on us, that's when I have problems. And that's what NBA 2K has done in recent years.

It's one reason I so respect The Show and buy it every year, despite basketball being my sport of choice.
(Well, every year since The Show 14. That was my first.)

I seriously think The Show is a better baseball game than NBA 2K is a basketball game--especially this year, since 2K17 had some very serious problems...a shame, since 2K16 was so darn good.

As long as there are more options. Maybe I want to be an Alan Trammel type who doesn't have contract issues and doesn't butt heads with anyone.. I imagine it will be difficulty to create separate persona's. And lots of time. But maybe one day..

That's the thing, I'm wondering if it will be just dialog options. Not all the cut-scene madness that is NBA 2k. Based on the sneak peek we saw in the official trailer back in December, that would be fine. I'm more concerned with how it will impact our RttS careers. Can we be a pain in the neck and get traded like crazy like Cespedes did until he found a home with the Mets? Can demanding more money or taking less money once you hit free agency actually make a difference in any way? Or like it has always been in RttS, will there still be no reason to care about salary at all?


Looking forward to the quick manage option and seeing what all that is about.

Stuff with your teammates would be great, we really need to know our teammates, how they feel, a better in-house system in which you live and breath baseball.

I am very interested to see how the new Pave Your Path coincides with existing RTTS careers. I'm currently in year 3 of my RTTS Rays first baseman.

I just hope RTTS will have a lot of talking points, not all text questions, because then I'll be in trouble! Either way, sounds awesome! We've never had story in RTTS!

...By the way, surely I'm not the only one that keeps thinking of that old heavy metal tune "Bang Your Head" with that name, am I?

I don't know man, I think you may have a Metal Health issue.

Be careful, it will drive you mad!

Another thought on PYP in RttS - I wouldn't be surprised if there is no actual "story". Which is fine with me, again with the NBA 2K setup where you are playing a role for a pre-set story isn't exactly engaging to me. As long as my choices actually create different results with what I experience in my RttS careers. So if I have 3 different RttS careers going, I could have 3 noticeably different experiences with the mode.

Critical Situations sounds like a fantastic addition!

Cool additions. Really liking the sound of Critical Situations.

Re: Some MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode, Critical Situations, Pave Your Path RTTS Det

Well I am really excited to say the least.

This may be the first time I actually play RTTS long term since MLB The Show 11.

Really excited to see what Pave Your Path is all about. Looks like it will be a lot more immersive.

Very excited about the new options in Franchise mode to move seasons along quicker. Although I play every inning, every pitch, I can play other seasons/classic seasons/and even a new franchise concurrently with my 2 main ones at a far brisker pace.

These options are long over due and look to be game changing for hardcore franchise players!!!

Can’t wait till the next few streams (Presentation and Franchise/RTTS).

I'm hoping they bring back some of the owner mode-like features lost after MLB 12.
