The last version of the show to have a full owner mode experience was MLB 12. Either way, 17 looks amazing!

that'd be really disappointing if you can't carry over a player from 16 and do the pave your path stuff. I just started the 2020 season with my shortstop of i've been playing with since 2014. I'm trying to finally hit free agency lol, never simmed a game.

I mean I would expect to miss out on the stuff that rookies do if i don't start a new player but i hope there's something for people who import players too.

But that way it's basically like watching a movie while the mode is supposed to be your own story. What RTTS needs is a way to build a relationtship with your teammates, a better way to know them and to care for them, not a worthless script which nobody want. Story mode in 2K game or EA is just terrible, there's no immersion at all cause it's not your story and it force you to play a role you don't want.

Yeah, there is a middle ground though... Progressing on and off the field would add immersion but only if the choices you made when being interviewed or away from the field impacted the storyline... 2K's career mode last year was the most ridiculous thing I've ever played, and this year - while better than last year's **** show - still gives you little-to-no control over what happens to your character. All the bells and whistles like the MyCourt, the phone for texts and social media, the billboards, and endorsement deals are all cool but when they get so repetitive and you have no control over them, it just seems like untapped potential for the mode.

While we're talking about 2K, if The Show released an app where you could scan your face into the game like 2K did, I'd be soooo happyyyyy

If this is it then this is so underwhelming. I certainly hope there is more to come.

"RPG gods love The Show because..."

Okay, as probably the only guy on this entire website that considers Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 6 and 7, and EarthBound four of his top ten favorite games of all time, I am LOVING this short-and-sweet ad campaign.

...What? Not every game I play has to be realistic.
I adore Gurren Lagann too, but that doesn't mean I want giant robots in The Show.
