You will only have to re-assign created players batting music.

My idea of little is even smaller than Sony's. I havent seen anything that I was looking forward to yet, in that regards. But its still early and I have lots of hope that at least one thing that hasnt been editable previously will be made so in 17. Something like managers and coaches names or service time or ump names. I'd even settle for something like the ability to rename the pitch types.

C'mon Sony:

A bit disappointed to see that they have the same coach celebrations at end of the game. Would have liked to have seen some new post game animations and celebrations. Still stoked to get more info on the next iteration of the MLB Show!

Speaking of little things, I hope the coaching staffs got an overhaul. I've never been all that thrilled with seemingly random attribute boosts tied to coaches. Would love to see it take on more of a tendency approach than a boost/nerf approach (longer manager hook, more bunting/hit-and-run, different lineup constructions or bullpen usage etc).

In this video, it's interesting that the franchise mode menu that Ramone was narrating over (see :17 mark) has a tile called "Budget" and listed there is "Cash Flow" on a per week basis. That seems to indicate the financial system will be more nuanced than just a yearly budget vs yearly expenditure. This probably means setting prices of merch, tickets, etc is in.

The more classic stadiums are always a bonus. The new crowd sections are awesome. Its so cool to see The 7 Line at Citi Field, though I hope they properly portray what they do. The 7 Line is not at EVERY home game. They have maybe 10 outings a season where they all sit in the section. But they are at Every Home Playoff game. (They also travel to opponents ballparks throughout the year but I don't expect that to be in the game). SOTS additions are nice, I can't wait to see how the SOTS Packs come out this year. And I'm curious about this Critical Moments feature. My hunch is, when you are simulating through your franchise and a moment in a simulated game comes up where it's let's say Bottom of the 9th, tie game. A notification pops up and shows you there's a Big Moment in your game. You have the option to go into that game and play that moment. Or one of your players is close to a milestone, you can jump into his at-bat and try to accompish the milestone. This works similar to MLB Network nightly baseball show MLB Tonight. Throughout the night of baseball, MLB Network can jump into any live game at any big moment and show you what's happening live or show replays of big moments. I feel Critical Moments work like this. Throughout the season/day you can jump into big moments either throughout the entire MLB or just within your team. If this is what Critical Moments are, I am going to have an absolute blast with them, I love MLB Tonight and in The Show, playing 162 with the same team, you may get 5-10 walk-off situations with your team. But playing with every team and all of their Critical Moments could be SO MUCH FUN!

7 Line Army won't play at every home game during the season. It's set to play at every home playoff game though.

Good catch - I posted this question in another thread and got no replay but the same screen shows sponsorships. My question is whether cpu teams also get the sponsor money or is it limited to user controlled team? I didn't use that option in the show 16 because I consider it an unfair advantage if the cpu teams don't get it also.

Anybody know the answer?
