MLB The Show 17 Franchise Improvements Include Player Lock, Quick Manage & More

[Rocket32]

While I'm sure theirs more to come this video was definitely disappointing. Obviously I didn't expect them to come out and spill all the franchise mode improvements/info today before the stream but I did expect at least one notable thing to be in the video which would leave me excited to hear more on the stream on Thursday. Not that I'm not already excited for the stream, hopefully you guys get what I mean.


This is probably the only sports game where the dev team has never left me disappointed at all. Every year the improvements are great and easily warrant a yearly purchase for reasons other then roster and rating updates. Don't expect them to disappoint with franchise this year either. I'm confident theirs many good things to come but I just expected a bit more from this video.

As someone who usually plays a few then sims a few, I love the new additions. I've always wanted something like Quick Manage so I didn't have to sim. Critical Situations makes it even better.

I am one of those every pitch of every game type guys......including spring training. I do however think there will be some real value in the ability to use the situational play in some minor league games. Also, I think they have made the screens ( the ones I have seen ) much easier to read, big cudo for that. Improved ball physics and a sense of urgency was greatly needed and has been addressed as well....fantastic. Now if the wall signage as far as dimensions are correct it will be awesome.

Honestly they sold me with the ball physics vid, I'd love to be able to build a new stadium in franchise but its not a must.

I felt the same way and the reason I didn't sim to the end was because the cpu would use my relievers differently that I would. If this new feature prevents the cpu from doing that then it is a positive change for the better.
