MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode

[underdog13]

Nothing much new in this video, the menus do look really slick.

Really hoping for a better progression system, really don't want to have to suffer through another year of the current system. Also I feel really bad for the online guys, not looking promising. Here's hoping for a big reveal on Thursday.

Well this video was nothing new. Really discouraged by how many 16 features were re-iterated in the video. Hoping for a better progression/regression system reveal on Thursday.

Still, quick manage is to much of a quality of life improvement for me personally to pass up on.

-Minor league stat tracking
-More minor league levels
-Ability to trade for more the 3 players
-Ability to take on contracts in trades
-Ability to offer opt outs in contracts
-Better regression and progression
-better draft/scouting
-Ability to offer extensions mid season
-Non roster spring training invites
-Minor league contracts
And not to mention all the GM stuff people have been asking for

Ramone mentioned it yesterday in another thread, but there has been MILLIONS of PS4's sold in the last year. LOTS of new users (tens of thousands or maybe in the hundreds of thousands?) will be buying and playing The Show for the first time ever. Or at least the first time this generation. So I get why some of these Gamestop videos and such are talking about features that long time purchasers of the game are already familiar with.

Agreed. I would love to see a lot more customization as well. Expansion mode and relocation would be amazing. Also being able to customize the league to old school AL East AL West NL East NL West, and remove the wild card would be a dream for classic roster guys like myself.

Plenty of opportunity in that department. Totally with you on that.

Yep no doubt. Those things would be sick. And I hope they really look at that; now that they do not have to focus on 2 systems anymore (PS3). The game visually looks like it got a real boost for this year. Maybe now for the next couple of cycles (18,19) they can add to an already solid franchise mode to make it even deeper and more immersive with these types of features that ooze baseball management.
