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

[WillGio]

Look I know I'm just a fan... But they botched Franchise this year. We haven't seen RTTS in full yet, but they could have used some of the features of that like manager meetings and stuff in Franchise. Look at Madden, and most importantly, NBA 2K.... They got it down. It's kind of sad they couldn't even add one huge new feature. I mean not even allowing in-season extensions of your own players? No better Player-Owner dialogue or requests. A huge one is no redone AI trade formula? That's not good. It shouldn't just take a B prospect, my fifth starter, and RP to acquire Sonny Gray.

I love the new face graphics, love Diamond Dynasty, probably will like RTTS, but they literally dropped the ball and made Franchise take a backseat. If in 2018 Franchise mode isn't their TOP priority overhaul, something is legitimately wrong.

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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'll disagree, based on the questions coming in chat, there were a LOT of people who had very little knowledge of the MLB The Show series. I would venture to guess there were hundreds of people who were new or hadn't bought The Show in years.

No way to tell though.

I have been hesitant with the state of the forums lately to share my opinion on all this but I have actually been writing this for a day or so and I think it works they way I intend it to.

I, like most of you, have been a fan of The Show for a long time. We each have our own reasons why this game is important to us and those reasons are as varied as the way we play the game.

I play Franchise and RTTS exclusively. I have messed with DD and Battle Royale a little bit. But those modes are just not for me. I like collecting the cards and use the equipment in RTTS of course. But I don't care about it's status. I will use a bat because it a Louisville Slugger not because its a Gold or Diamnond.

I love these modes and I know I lot of you do too. I play every inning of every game, just like a lot of you as well. What I don't do anymore is play a lot of other games. I reallized about two years ago that I was buying all of these games and I would play The Show and one or two RPG's in the course of a year. That realization has changed the way I do things now. Last year I bought 5 games total and so far this year I have bought one. The Show will be number 2.

The Show is my go to game, 2 or 3 games a day, more if I have a day off. This is the way I like to play. Slow and steady, I love when my games take 2 hours and I consider it time well spent. I was super excited for '17 and I guess in a way I still am a bit. I am all for options and I am glad they are a successful developer, they certainly deserve to be. I have the utmost respect for them and their game. They have done things for me personally that are simply amazing.

With all of that said. I am not really happy for the direction the game is taking. I am happy for all of the new players, I am happy for The Games success, I happy for the Developers. But I am not happy for me. Every year it seems the game gets a little further away from the game I want it to be and thats fine. Thats the way these things work. I will purchase '17 day one but then I think it is time for a break from the yearly cycle. I usually get about 4-5 years of a franchsie done and I rarely carry over becuase The Show always seemed to give me a reason to want to start over. This year with the additions of AI, lighting, models, uniforms, new park for Atlanta, updates for RTTS etc. I will be starting over again.

The difference is this time I think its for good. While I still believe The Show is a good product, it is changing into something that does not interest me. Maybe down the road things will change and I hope they do. But I think I can be content with '17 and let time move on without me.

Wish you all the best and see you in the ballparks.

Quick Manage: It shows in the middle how the players have done so far in the game (1-1 for example) but it would be nice to see what actually happened so far, or the details of those at bats if you will. If a player is 0-2, was it 2 k's? Line out, ground out? 2 ground outs and a walk? Or if a player is 3-3 I would like to know if they have a single, 2 home runs or whatever other combination you can think of.

Unless I just missed it on the screen? If not, might be something they can add to it next year.

Ugh. So lame. Must be a real pain to implement.

Wooooooooow. Thats a massive disappointment. It seems like every year they say they tried but It's too time consuming.

Well that's disappointing

But I recall discussing before and Ramone saying it was difficult to program

Anyone know if mid-season contract extensions have been put in?
