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

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream is LIVE - Franchise Mode

Top Prospects window is nice, but there was literally nothing regarding trading logic, free agency, progression/regression and there was nothing mentioned of mid-season contract extensions (which is something we've been asking for since I don't know when).

Overall I'm kinda happy and sad. This year's franchise mode is kinda disappointing if I'm to be honest but I guess it's to be expected.

Also, they are REALLY catering to the casual player. Like as you're watching the stream you can just tell.

Few thoughts:

I like the critical situations option...I think I'll definitely use this.

The quick manage option is a really good addition.

I was really hoping for more stats and such.

No mention whether the quirks could be edited by the user; they said they can update them thru roster updates though?

Overall...I love the game and have bought it since 2009...but this is the first year I've been underwhelmed by the reveals of the game this close to release. I'm still going to buy it because it's still a great B+ game but there's still a few things that can be done with franchise in terms of overall team depth that can be done (advanced scouting, training, coaching, add'l stats, player tendencies, etc.).

We would really like to know if rotating interleague schedules are in?

I'm wondering if the budget changes including Cash Flow is groundwork for more extensive changes in MLB 18 - owner like features that some people are wanting, maybe more detailed contract logic like extensions, etc. Just a thought.

Pretty underwhelming stream. Was hoping to hear information about online franchises as well. Everything they covered was already covered in the short clips released earlier this week with the exception of prospect screen and money screen. Did like the information on quirks though.

I'm really looking forward to quick manage but I wish there was more in depth features regarding FA, so on. I'm in the same boat as you...

Have to admit I was a bit disappointed with the direction that stream took. I know they had to show off their new features but I was hoping we'd get more of the obscure, smaller things that the videos earlier in the week didn't cover. The closest we got to that was the PCI size comparison on Player quirks (which was nice to see, granted - it was something I was curious about and it's good we'll be able to see the difference in-game).

I'm glad I went into the stream not expecting anything else being revealed. The stream was mostly about the quicker ways to play the game.

Did they touch at all on player progression? I missed some parts

Another reminder of how many PS4's have been sold in the last year (I believe it was around 10 million consoles just in 2016??). Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people will be buying The Show for the first time ever, or at least the first time this generation.

interesting how the game views prospects, Margot at #2 and Benintendi not in top10.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream is LIVE - Franchise Mode

Dang. No mention if interleague schedule was fixed. Really wanted this in.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream is LIVE - Franchise Mode

So no change to the mechanics of team building or how the AI makes decisions. Disappointing but I know I'll still have fun playing franchise since it's already pretty good. However the little things missing are annoying. Hopefully it's the focus of next year's cycle especially scouting of the draft and player development.

The top prospects list, quick manage, and quirks are good additions. Once the rosters drop, I be spending most over my time in franchise like usual.
