MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode

[Benz87]

Normally spend half my time between Offline Franchise and Diamond Dynasty. A bit underwhelmed with franchise improvement advertised thus far, all i'm really looking for is immersion factor. Tracking such as career awards, manager wins, and more historical data would go a long way IMO. The new quirks system I read a bit about is intriguing, unfortunately I did not find anything on if it would be dynamic for all players, including in-game created prospects similar to badges for NBA2K. I'm sure we will learn more on Thursday.

That being said, it will be the great game that I look forward to all year with enough slight improvements to make it noticeably better, whether in the menus or on the field.

I try to play at least one game of each series though. The ability to jump around within games and get critical chances in others is a great addition. Nice work Devs. I know we same some presentation stuff, but I hope the final version includes more on screen stat stuff (more than they showed) so I get a chance to see stats while playing and not just when I want to deep dive into them (which I sometimes will do, but funner to play the game than wade into menus and spend time looking at stats). As far as quirks, I think they are also a nice idea. But I would rather have it happen under the hood as opposed to I have to toggle them on. If a guy is a great late inning hitter, just give his stats the boost without me having to ask for it. Same for the other quirks. I don't think I like the idea of a guy only being great at something if I toggle it, as opposed to how he is IRL. But drafting guys with specific quirks will be very interesting I think. Nice work.

I don't think you need to toggle quirks on I think they are just assigned to players based on their real life tendencies

Not in real time, not with fully show foul balls, not with all catcher return throws to pitcher, not fully shown home runs, etc. You don't get all of that even on broadcast.

Got ya, can't disagree either. Didn't know that's what you meant.
