MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

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.

This is quite literally the last bulletin on the list in the OP of*More MLB The Show 17 Details Revealed - Gameplay, Graphics, Diamond Dynasty & More

"The team is doing different body modeling for the game to represent more body types. This includes a new husky body type and sliders for hips, glutes, shoulders, and spine length in the player creator."

I'm looking forward to the new hair, facial hair and faces in addition to the body types. Been hoping for these for a while, the old facial hair is so stale, March 28th here we come!

Imo, the bodies also got quite an improvement. We got new body styles and even sliders.

Chris Sale deff doesn't look the same to me. I think there is clear improvement.

Mlb 16

Mlb 17


I mean, maybe slightly different, not really though. I think for the most part, most players body models look the same as last year.

Arrieta was one player that was noticeably different, the players with adjusted sleeve lengths look different. There's still plenty of work that could be done.

Sale actually looks tall AND lanky now, to me.
He didnt really look the combination before. IMO

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

Is there a single MLB team that uses the same exact lineup every single game?

Just trying to help talk you off the cliff!

No there is not. However, I do enjoy the lineups, rotations, and bullpens to be how they are on opening day. From there on, I don't care because it's a video game. It should be dynamic and how the CPU manages the teams, is how they manage the teams. However, there's a lot of silliness that happens with these lineups once you go past Spring Training. You have guys hitting in spots they don't normally hit in. Without using 25 man rosters you will even have guys who should be on the Opening Day team, in the minors because the CPU thinks they shouldn't be on the team due to rating. I like accuracy from Opening Day. Whatever happens afterward is fine. For you that may not be an issue, but for myself it is.

Talking me off the ledge is a bit overboard of a comment there especially when my post was nothing but proper. I didn't bash the game or anything. All I did was bring up a gripe I had that may now be fixed because of this addition to start from the regular season. I've bought this game since MLB 10 so if it hasn't bothered me enough to not buy the game, I don't think it will now.

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.

I was playing high heat 02 until the show came along because I want manage mode with gameplay graphics. OOTP has a deep franchise but graphics are closer to micro league baseball than the show.

What seems a bit odd to me is the addition of quick manage which is a text based sim. Push the X button and red text says strikeout. Push the X button again and blue text says walk. It seems like people attracted to the short attention span style would be playing OOTP with similar gameplay but deeper franchise.

I'll keep playing the show but while quirks are an improvement I don't see much value in quick manage or critical situations. I've been pushing for create-a-team from DD to be added to franchise. Others want deeper contracts, relocation, deeper minor leagues, etc. The code for create-a-team is already written. How hard would it be to add it to franchise and enable the user to replace an existing team with their creation? I like the game, I'll buy it and play it but I'd love to be in the room when they discuss what to add to franchise next year.

Will the trade delays work again where we can step in and over ride unwarranted trades? Believe it's a key franchise piece that disappeared in 16.

Forgot about this! That was a HUGE gripe I had with 16. I hope it's fixed.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

I'm curious if they tweaked the logic for the player morale? Found it quite annoying that guys would be upset with their contract less than a year after signing an extension. Then with no ability to renegotiate, I'm stuck with ano upset player for multiple seasons. One of the things I felt hurt the franchise experience. Also, young high level vets retiring if not signed as free agents because no team could afford to pay their salary, another annoyance I hope they fixed.

its a Great game...but they've given us nothing new...you could alway sim spring training thats not new and very dishonest by the host to act as it is,,,,critical situations...you could alway fast forward to the inning of your choice so im not thrilled...nba 2k has expansion, relocation, owners voting on moves...THATS NEW...nothing new i see in franchise mode...and in regular game you get retro mode...i think MLB THE SHOW GOT FAT AND LAZY THIS YEAR....will i buy it of course, i want to play online....but very disappointed...also in mlb16...why dont we ever see opposing manager challenge a call...or whycan't we challenge the plays we want to...why can't we send our managers out to argue and not challenge...why can't we send the catcher out to the mound to stall...why why why...no expansion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OOTP and The show merge would be a dream come true, since I usually end up buying both. OOTP is sometimes surprising how much control you have with your team. 2 different games, but the OOTP is getting close with their 3d simulation.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

Must admit a little disappointment on what they have done with franchise, it's like they have just added in more 'casual gamer' stuff that really doesn't matter much for franchise where you can finish a game in 2 mins instead of playing an entire game. I just don't see much point in that its like a 'classic moments mode' where you replay history thats pretty much what it is.

really wanted to see importing players still not happening so have to waste hours another year import players that I miss in my franchise unless I wanna wait till June to create everyone.

Create manager edit managers all that stuff would have been great too, especially for putting managers that are not in the game in.

generic schedules rain delays, rain outs would add more stragedy in franchise. all that stuff would have been better but they chose to go the more casual gamer way for finishing games quicker, we already had this with quick counts, not even giving the option to play a game ?

It won't effect the way I play franchise it's pretty much gonna be the same for me because I won't use any of the new stuff added I don't even use quick counts.

but at least they don't do a EA and take features out like 30 team control, where now you gotta spend 30 mins to start a season with 32 team control

anyway I will love the game, likewise just would have loved to have seen other things in franchise,

Then don't buy the game. Simple as that.

Re: MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Livestream Breakdown

Franchise itself wont have changed much, but the other things SDS worked on (uni's, faces, body models, Player Quirks, Quick Manage, CritSit) will directly impact franchise for the better and I personally am ready to move on from 16. I just cant continue playing my franchise in 16 knowing I can get a deeper immersion from 17 for what basically works out to a dollar and a quarter a week for 52 weeks until Show 18 arrives. A bargain by my estimation.
