Adam_SDS you are awesome!

I am sure you saw my posts about the Numbers on the players jerseys being to low. Perhaps maybe you can tell the artists about these issues as well? Getting that finally fixed for 18 would be really great!

Almost forgot if it's not to let Citizens Bank Park does NOT have Fireworks after Home Runs or wins during the regular season games. So if they could remove them that would be great.

Thanks

Are cleats bigger this year? Dee's look huge haha.

Game is looking outstanding. Been a couple of years since I could put any time in but has there always been a fan visibly holding the ball after catching a hr?

Around the 6:35 mark in this video which is archived:

i liked that it was random in franchise. which scorebug you'd get

Here's my quick and dirty comparison of Thor from MLB 16 compared to how he looks like now.

Hopefully Ramone releases the awesome side by side he's been doing so we can see how much better it is compared to last years game.

So in the first minute of the video I heard them say that the replay challenge would not be improved upon which is disappointing, I get that adding more to it would mean not getting other features include to the game but the way it is right now is pretty pointless IMO

If it was either a new replay system or the other big projects they have added I think its an easy choice though..

Just edited my post, didn't mean to send it half done
I agree with that but if it's not going to be done properly it might as well not be in the game

Hello there. Long time reader SOMEWHAT 1st time poster...

I've been playing this franchise of games for a LONG time now. Put in loads of time, energy, and rage haha. When this game first came on the PS4, I was disappointed with the constant freezes online. You can read from my prior post all my anger haha. Even with that, I have bought this game day 1 since 989 days. I can honestly and truthfully say that this team and this franchise has grown and has now officially become THE best sports game on the market. Of course, we haven't played this year, but the amount of improvement in options, graphical updates, game play...simply amazing. The best part is you actually LISTEN to your fans good or bad. You saw what we asked for and responded in a big way. Does everyone get what they want? Of course not...but its darn near close. Other sports games (IM LOOKING AT YOU NHL 16) can take a page from your book.

Kudos to the entire team. I have a feeling I will continue to sing the praises of this game on launch day as well.

Keep up the amazing work Ramone and crew!

That opposite field hit down the line by Cabrera around the 17:35 mark is a thing of beauty. Last year, ball would have died half way up the line, this time it made it to the corner.

Overall, this game is looking very very good.

And he made it into second easily without the usual bang bang close play. And his speed rating is 55 so not that fast either. Hopefully a sign of things to come

Ball physics are really blowing me away in 17!!

No side by side of players who didn't have a face scan last year.

Online Franchise absolutely NEEDS an upgrade and hasn't been touched in 2-3 years.

Online leagues should have the option for presentation packages as well; I get fast play being the default for H2H and DD but come on!

Show us online Franchise players some love!

Hope to see some improvement during the Franchise blog and twitch stream [emoji1305]

Do you have any updated photo references that show this up close?

# 37 Sheamazin @ 02/17/17 05:05 PM

Great to see the 7 line added into the game

Yes, here you go. Sorry the quality isn't great. Screencaptured from a highlight video.

If you want a better picture, I can try finding another one.

Thank you Lorne!
