MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Tour (Gamespot)

ok yea that was a little confusing. They were listed as separate bullet points but basically the same thing. Like you said with a name like front office you would expect something to do with the financial side of things.

I'm a little worried about the CPU's bullpen management. Cubs pulled Wade Davis instead of leaving him in to try and get the save. Perhaps he had pitched the previous two days. Or perhaps SCEA has Joe Maddon's insane strategies coded into the game.

Ramone visited GameSpot 2-3 weeks ago, and you figure the build he took along was a couple weeks old on top of that. So that build was probably from at least a month ago. And they said several times back then that they were still working on skin tones. Hoping that is all that was going on in the Didi clip

Man, I can't wait for the new features we been asking for the last few years....Rain-outs and double headers. Of course, how can I forget the much anticipated new and improved "Franchise Front Office" mode ala NBA2K. I'm sure we will see all the new historical stats of past games and championships etc. It just that they are not going to show it until tomorrow..I know it...There is no way that SDS can let me down, no way!

I have a created pitcher in in franchise mode I normally just play the game my created player pitches I could see myself using quick manage.

They are playing around April 28th. At the most, there should be 10 complete games combined throughout all of MLB at this point in the season. We see a lot more than that on the pre-game loading screen, just like the previous years of this game.

Even the first game they are playing/simming; itt ends as a 3-2 score with the pitcher getting POTG from pitching 9.0 innings and a complete game.

I'm starting to doubt whether or not I can trust the bullpen AI to truly be fixed. I understand we've been told that the game will take into account the best pitcher to bring in for the next few batters. That's great, but I still see a huge loophole for situational pitching on a batter-by-batter basis. The impression I get through all of this is we will still be seeing long outings by RP.

^^^^^^^ Yes ^^^^^^^^

The 1st thing I'll experiment with is CG's, bullpen usage & line up logic from the AI withing franchise mode...
