MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

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).

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

I never recall being limited to 30 years.

I'm not sure. They were definitely in 2052 though. Maybe it's been changed. The 30 years number seems vaguely familiar--almost like for Madden or something but I can't quite place it.

Has anyone ever simmed until the game breaks?

Seems like the outfield walls at Safeco are finally fixed. I never understood why they made them look so dirty in previous games.

I am a huge Show fan, bought a ps3 for it, and buy it every year, but I would be lying if I was not disappointed, Franchise mode is really stale and needs a presentation overhaul. It feels so closed, never feels like you are part of a league, it needs stat overlays big time, league updates, news during a game.

I know the transfer system is a little different, but I like the way contract negotiations are done in FIFA. Maybe The Show should add something like that.

There is no limit on number of years. I've seen the devs sim 100 years in future. Furthest I have gotten was 35.

It is definitely 30 years on madden. I thought The Show has always been a lot higher.

Maybe it has been discussed and I missed it, but does anyone else think the crowd is more detailed looking? At least it seems there is greater detail in the fans' clothing... Especially at about 42:00 in the original stream archive, when he is pitching w/Seattle. Maybe it is just my imagination.

To add on this the whole game just looks so much better. All the gripes with franchise mode I think some forget how much work was put into player models ball physics and animations so fix the game play and overall look of the game. Player models was a big thing on these boards and now it's most focused on franchise. I get we all rant things but they have fixed a lot of issues people wanted it's just never enough lol

So the body adjustments for guys like Chris sale have always been there? They maybe didn't redo it from the ground up but they definitely made improvements

[Durrl Brakes]

Good insight! I do really appreciate the Show making incremental additions year to year. Patience is a virtue and this year looks solid more additions than expected and looks to be just as fun. SOLD!

The Show looks to be a fantastic offering for Diamond Dynasty players.

For franchise guys like me, and I say this non-sarcastically, give OOTP a hard look if you haven't before. Show is a great game, but if a franchise mode is what you feel you're missing, you'll get that experience and then some with OOTP.

Different games, but perhaps your franchise fill can be found beyond your console, if that's what you're after.

To be honest, Sale's body looked the same to me, maybe i need to see a side-by-side comparison to really realize the difference though.

Player models still need to be a focus, the bodies, not the faces. Hopefully the bodies take the same step next year, that the faces took this year.
