MLB The Show 17 Twitch Stream - Franchise Mode, HDR Confirmed (Archive Available)

[BigOscar]

From a purely self centered point of view, from the perspective of a veteran player who plays every game, there is not a lot been done. A few more screens that make it easier to access information about morale or top prospects (who are at least ranked now as well) but other than that the only change at all seems to be the addition of being able to save money one year to spend the next, which is a very welcome addition for people like myself who like a rebuild.

The lack of talk of changes to the AI is very troubling, in respect to computer free agent signings, morale, trading and roster management. All these needed seriously altering but no mention of them at all is a major disappointment.

The vast majority seemed aimed at new players or people who sim.

EDIT forgot about quirks, which might be slightly interesting, but it's a bit muddled with most being just badges to highlight high stats. Wasn't clear if the significant ones that actually effect the game can be gained or if they are set in stone and not for propsects and draftees

QUICK MANAGEMENT.....excellent looking. I hated the FAST FORWARD option.

Game field looked really good.

Did anyone notice, or maybe it was just me, Edwin Diaz looked slim. Is that the new player body type that we're seeing?

It seems they didn't add adidas batting gloves, which is a bummer considering they have adidas cleats and fielding gloves.

I don't really play franchise much but I admit I really like that you can quickly jump back and forth between Quick Manage and then playing certain situations that may come up, only to switch back to Quick manage when the situation is resolved.

For those asking about certain top prospects and them not being on the list... They explained that if they had achieved the rookie qualification service time they're no longer considered prospects in the game...

Yes, but out of the ~2500 that are watching a twitch stream I would venture to guess that first time buyers are in the double digits and probably lower double digits at that. The people that are going to watch a stream like that are the same ones that can be found on a forum like this, mostly hardcore fans. You would think they would cater the info to that group more so, than to a large group of prospective buyers that aren't even watching.

Also, if they have never played in MLB in real life, they won't even be in the game since they aren't members of MLBPA. Hence the fake/generated players mixed in with the real prospects in the list they showed.
