More MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode Details, Including Player Quirks

[jw9036]

Finally, appeared in MLB The Show. I love quirks (player's special ability). Great SDS!! thanks~~

Quirks sound interesting, and could bring some more player differentiation to Franchise. I wonder if we'll be able to find out exactly which ratings are getting boosted and by how much, and whether there are any negative quirks (that's treading on dangerous ground, though).

The key take away from this is don't toss Rizzo a breaking ball while your leading in the 9th and there's 2 outs and 2 strikes with a runner on third.

Jokes aside, I definitely like this addition though, like others here, I REALLY hope they can either:

a) be edited and/or added to CAPs

and/or

b) can be gained/lost based on in-franchise performance

Definitely has me intrigued and even more curious to hear more on Thursday.

Also, and admittedly off-topic, 17 looks flat out AWESOME. Some of these faces...whoa!

I would love if they did the body injury thing. That's one of my favorite features of 2K...

Well now that they've "adopted" Konami's "special skills" lets hope they also move to cursor hitting one day.

"Quirks" is definitely a welcomed addition...I wish they would have named it differently as quirk implies that it is strange or peculiar, but anyway....

I hope this is not true. Hopefully it can be edited and added to CAPs and RTTS players.
It would definitely make the editing/creating players more realistic.

I would like to get a sense of how big a boost this is and how widespread quirks are among all players. I'd prefer it not to be too arcadey like how the coaching staff boosts are handled. Overall, this could be a nice way, depending on implementation, to differentiate players beyond the simple 0-99 ratings systems.

I hope this is replacing the Perk system in RTTS as well.
