Some MLB The Show 17 Franchise Mode, Critical Situations, Pave Your Path RTTS Details

10:36 PM - February 26, 2017 by smiley3

The official website has posted some MLB The Show 17 Franchise mode and Pave Your Path RTTS details. A lot of it is stuff we already know, but we should start hearing much more about the modes soon, more specifically on March 7, 9 and 14.

With that said, another livestream on Twitch is scheduled for Thursday, going over presentation and commentary improvements.

PAVE YOUR PATH IN ROAD TO THE SHOW

For the first time, Road to The Show takes you beyond the walls of the stadium with Pave Your Path.
Take your character on an epic odyssey through the world of a professional MLB player. Control your career and write your own Hall of Fame story both on and off the field.
Interact with coaches, managers, representatives and more as you make off-the-field decisions that can affect your career in unpredictable ways.
CHOOSE WISELY. Anything is possible on the Road to The Show, but nothing is promised.

FRANCHISE MODE - MORE CONTROL, LESS TIME

Make your moves and plan your perfect strategy as you take control of an entire MLB franchise. Choose what tactics to employ and where. Take over Coaching, Player Development, and GM duties. Or easily have your staff auto manage them with the flick of a toggle.

FRANCHISE LAUNCH PAD PUTS YOU IN CONTROL OF HOW MUCH TIME YOU SPEND PLAYING AND HOW YOU RUN YOUR TEAM.

CRITICAL SITUATIONS prompts you to take the plate in late-inning, critical situations so you have a direct effect on the standings even without playing full games. You�ll also get prompted to complete statistically significant games like hitting for the cycle or no-hitters.
QUICK MANAGE puts you in complete control of all managerial decisions during a game, while finishing full games in a short amount of time. Jump back and forth between gameplay and Quick Manage and only play in what you decide are the most important at-bats.
IF YOU�D PREFER TO SHUN RESPONSIBILITY AND JUST HIT SOME HOMERS, the updated Player Lock makes it easier than ever to pick a player on your team and play short Road to The Show style games in Franchise Mode.

Yeah. gotta love that attention to detail. Checkout those baseboards. Or where baseboards would be.
Also, everytime I've seen a locker since Big Mac, I look for bottles that seem out of place.
I know there wont be any in the Show, yet still I hunt.

Something ive always wanted was more off the field stuff to make it feel more connected (if that makes sense). Next year and year after will be improvements I'm sure but this is the stepping stone to something potentially amazing.

If it's anything like NBA2k then that's when I stop playing RTTS.

Not for me, it needs to be nothing like 2k's horrible myplayer mode that gets super tedious very quickly. Watch cutscene after cutscene of something that makes no sense while I have no real control over the personality of myplayer and regardless of the decisions I make nothing changes when all I really want to do is play the sport of the game I bought.

In 2K I created a 6ft1 white point guard for the career mode. (Forget name of mode)

I couldn't change his voice so he had the voice of a big black dude which was hilarious to watch. Then in the first scene he almost committed assault on his agent changing him around an apartment. I turned it off right after that.

That's what I want to avoid in Rtts. Now I know they won't go that route as frankly they don't have the man power to make that. So I'm glad with the direction they are headed, and glad it's not like 2k.

No. No it doesn't. The "story" parts of both NBA and FIFA are, in my opinion, absolutely ridiculous. I usually only play The Show but this year I picked up both because of RTTS type modes. Stopped playing both because I felt they were stupid and linear. I don't need a story. I will make my own. Just let me play baseball as whatever type of player I want to be.

It's not just about man power.

That's just not the type of game we are going for...not to mention the MLB has a very clear vision for how the game of baseball and its ideals should be portrayed.

Thanks God !

I'm really happy to hear that, 2K and EA attempts to create a story mode are really terrible.

Can't wait to see if they improved fantasy draft logic. Hopefully, there will be no more 33 year old closers taken in the 1st round and 18 year old A potential 75 overall taken in the 12th round.

I have long been of the opinion MLB holds the Show back from its full potential
Most of those things are "liitle" things and arent major but they do add up .
For SDS to pull off what they have been able to accomplish is frankly stunning.

I have a question for whom ever might know. I currently have about a $-950k per week cash flow in franchise mode. I am slowly losing money from my bank. I want to know what happens when I run out of money, and also how do I better start making money?
