Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

Quick manager is the exact feature I wanted. All I've ever wanted was to sim the ends of blowouts, but managerial decisions frustrated me. Even when they didn't giving up the reins is hard. I will be using the Quick manager during any kind of a blowout, and that will reduce my frustration a TON.

Even blowouts where I am the one winning get really boring to play. Thank you SDS.

Like a lot of people, I have full team control on, but have everything set to CPU.

I love the idea of turning critical situations ON in my franchise for all teams, and being able to pop my head in on some big moments throughout the season.

It would be awesome if you could filter what critical situations you get notified into playing.

For 29 teams playing under "milestone" moments, and during my team, everything else. I would definitely use that.

I hadn't thought about using Critical Situations as a sort of live "highlight" show, but I guess that's totally a possibility for 32 team control (since you can probably set both teams to CPU). Nice thinking outside the box there.

Well I think we can put to rest any hope of there being an expansion mode, team relocation, a stadium creator, and non roster invitees in ST.

I think we honestly all already knew that expansion mode, team relocation, and stadium creator were not going to be in this years game.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Improvements

One thing I just noticed that makes me a little more than anxious. I noticed on the menu it listed the choices of how to play a game. It listed a play full game as 45 minutes? IF they have taken out so much of the "little things" that a full game with Broadcast presentation takes only 45 minutes to complete, I don't think I will be happy.

This is the first time I have ever said something like this, and I will wait until tomorrow and Thursday to form an opinion. But this could be a deal breaker for me even with all of the new stuff added. I don't want or need a quicker gameplay experience.

I made an earlier post along the lines of this concern of the game becoming to fast play for the masses. I was hoping we had a few more years before it became an issue for me. Well I will just cross my fingers and hope it all turns out well.

45 minutes sounds like how long it takes me for a fast play game. I think those are just minimum guidelines for the different modes - we all know that when you get sucked into multiple baserunning and fielding situations in RTTS that it can take longer than 10 minutes for a game.

Based on what we saw in the presentation video while it was CPU vs CPU, I don't see the presentation as being cut down. At around 44:40 of the stream they start their CPU game. Granted there was an occasional pause to show off something cool, but by 1:10 when they paused to take control of the gameplay they'd only reached 2 outs in the top of the 2nd. Around 25 minutes for 1 1/2 innings, and I think that was on Hybrid.

Loving Bum's face in the video. Still think he could use a few more pounds of muscle though.

If interleague schedule rotation has FINALLY been fixed that will be massive for me.

This could literally be the only change to full season modes and I'd be satisfied for another year.

Ramone tweeted to "watch the stream on Thursday" in response to this question, so....stay tuned.

Highly agreed! I have the same concern hopefully Thursday's stream will address this!

The new interface looks nice but I'm not convinced that the actual gameplay of franchise mode will be any less redundant than in the past.

Sounds like MoM (MoM heads correct me if I'm wrong). Interesting though...

Completely agree. Having that much presentation and ambient time cut away to speed up the game would be one of the extremely few things that would be a deal-breaker for me too.

I want at-least the option to play a full two-hour game on my console if I want to. It's great to include options for people to speed up the game, but don't take away my option to play every second of a long, drawn out, full baseball game with full batter walk-ups, between pitch animations, foul ball tracking, etc.

I honestly don't think they'd do that to the sim community but I'll await Thursday as you do for clarification.

Nothings been cut from Broadcast presentation everything is there. We default the game to Hybrid like last year hence the 45 minute or so avg. base time for completion.
