Yeah, I’ve heard the blue eyed theory before. But a bunch of hitters had that, probably more than had blue eyes. Maybe not, and maybe they really did only apply it to guys with that split.

You don’t care where I sent this from.

I think negative quirks are the positive ones for the pitchers and viceversa. For me the whole point around quirks is to give a quick showcase of your players and it's nice, cause baseball is a very situational sport.

Sorry fellas. Any mention of random schedules season to season in franchise mode?

Not for this year. Ramone stated it was too difficult to pull off rotating inter-league schedules at this point. Just not enough time or resources.

Baseball has always been a sport that has a extremely diverse fan base. I can remember taking the wife and the three kids to Ranger games and it was like herding cats. My youngest daughter would set there with me and soak it up in the 100 degree heat in Arlington and be perfectly content. My son would be okay for a few innings but would start getting fidgety. My oldest daughter and wife both had the attention span of a Knat when it came to watching the game. They would spend most of their time at the concession stands and looking for souvenirs.

The Show is trying to reach out to the diverse market as well. Good luck with the oldest daughter and the wife..........hopefully they don't ever add a shopping app into the menu.

As for me, I am total franchise guy......I will probably take the retro mode for a spin around the block but certainly drop it quickly, DD.....never played it, RTTS drove it around the block once and now it just sits in the garage. I don't sim, but I do use quick counts.

So with all of that being said, it looks like the have made a huge improvement to the game play and I am tickled to death with that. There have been equipment additions, graphics improvements, and changes to the booth. I personally would have liked to seen more attention into the nuts and bolts in franchise mode but maybe we will get that next year. Stadium build would be fantastic but I would settle for more historic stadiums and the ability to edit the teams/divisions. I would love to turn back the clock to having the AL and NL only and the winner meets in the series.

Is it a day one buy for me? You can bet the farm on it.

All good points. I just wish the franchise portion would have gotten more attention. I love the game it is a great experience but Im betting if you took a pole people would rather see that 1 guy doing franchise spend 8 months implementing interleague rotations rather then spend 8 months putting in quick manage. Graphics, gameplay, realism all on point but the fact we still after 12 interations and all of the technology available can't figure out a way to rotate teams from year to year is really incredible. Madden does it, All Star Baseball 2005 did it. High Heat did it. But 12 years later 2017 can't get it done. Implementing some old game into The Show is great and all I guess but put the things that matter in the game and to me for franchise mode a rotating interleague schedule should have been a priority over spending 8 months on Quick manage

I would have been pretty disappointed if they spent 8 months implementing rotating interleague schedules actually...

not the case. they have stated in twitch feeds previously that this year they are not revealing all things and saving some for when you get it in your hands...
