MLB 13 The Show Video Interview - Franchise and Road to the Show Changes

[Perfect Zero]

Wow, I'm really glad the scouting was given a major overhaul. Everything that I would have wanted in the game has been addressed as far as that part goes. With the specific budgets and everything, it looks like franchise mode took a giant leap.

From IGN:

"An entire scouting system has been added, meaning you'll have to hire a team of scouts -- each with their own strengths (i.e. some guys will have a better eye for pitching, others for hitting, etc.) -- and use them to sign and develop prospects in your minor league system."

WOW! IGN managed to explain the exact same scouting system used for the past 5 years. Nothing they said about the "new" scouting there is any different than the old scouting system. LOL. Do these gaming reporters actually even play the games? I have no doubt the system was overhauled, but you wouldnt know it from reading IGNs preview.

It will be even better seeing it flash on the scorebug with pitch callout OFF

Players change their stances mid season, sometimes they alter things from series to series.

This sums it up for me and I'm glad he said it, just sorry he HAD to!

Franchise mode looks AWESOME this year!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!! RTTS looks slightly improved, but it is still awesome. The only thing I hope is that there is way more commentary. That is the ONE thing that 2k has it beat on. But I loved pulse pitching from last year, and Ilove analog hitting, so I am SOOOOOO pumped for this game (not the vita version though)!!!!!

This is very far from the truth... Once RTTS is discussed in detail, you will find it has changed (improved) the most of any mode. It is literally a whole new experience, gameplay wise. And it feels completely different from exhibition or even RTTS of old. Good stuff coming!

So the top 50 thing is for guys coming into the draft...I was thinking/hoping it was a prospect list of guys in the minors already.

Do you, or anyone when RTTS and other things are going to be discussed in detail, like blogs and stuff?
