MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

[RandyBass]

Looks solid. Still needs a more robust minor leagues though to really feel authentic. I know that would require new stadiums and all, and as such is probably a long ways away, but at the very least I'd like to see:

-Playable Long season A ball
-Playable Short season A ball where you'd send your draft picks
-A non-playable instructional league to stash players (like A ball is now)
-A longer and more in depth draft
-A more in depth and more realistic player development process

Also, based on this it doesn't look like we're going to get any online franchise info before release..which is really disappointing.



The last ones left are Battle Royale and Conquest. Along with graphical stuff.

What makes you think the Franchise stream on Thursday won't cover online? They did last year.

Random question: Will these career stats also be there for RttS players that brought players from MLB '14 forward?

I would 99.9% assume so, there would be no excuse why not as they already have all those old stats.

I like this!

Would be nice to show career stats on this screen, or an option to flip (R1/L1) the page to view them, just like a player card. (something to add for next year's game. )

Would be nice. Hopefully someone can ask tomorrow during the live twitch stream.

These are very good questions. It would certainly defeat the purpose of the system if non-SCEA players did not have morale at all, because that means the entire function would effectively be meaningless after a few years in franchise mode (because the majority of your players would then be draftees).

Knowing SCEA, I'd bet my life savings that isn't happening. They surely made some sort of allowance so that the system can still be enjoyed even amongst fake/created players.

So the real question is, did they
a) Make it random
b) Make it editable in the create/edit-a-player tool
c) both of the above
