I can appreciate player quirks and game-skipping options, but I'm just yearning for a realistic GM experience, which has been lacking for going on 5 years now. Russell and Co. I sincerely appreciate the work you put into the game the last 10+ years but with less time to play and other obligations, I'm going to bow out.

I was with you until here.

As stated before, what a guy does in real life in 2017, shouldn't have any influence on what he's doing in your Franchise in 2025.

	And based on that thinking then why isn't IE in play now or season mode? I would love to hear explanation from SCEA.

I agree, it should be in Play Now games. Not season mode though, because season works the same as far as being its own unique universe too.

I hear ya man, but the new ball physics alone make this a big upgrade in the realism department.

The only way you can be better during the day- is by being worse at night by default; otherwise- you would be the same for both.....and if you are better at both- you are just a better player- period- which doesn't make sense in the context of the quirk.

Google Josh Hamilton and day games.

I was watching the WBC earlier and I can't remember who it was, but someone hit a ball and off the bat it was heading toward dead center but started to slice and ended up dropping before the CF could get it. It was a thing of beauty. I can't wait to see this in this game this year. Total game changer.

Anyone else notice that manny machado looks too slim?

The quirk supposedly gives you a bigger PCI during games at the time of day it applies to so your PCI during other games will be relatively smaller by default. There's no need to penalize the games the quirk doesn't apply to for balance purposes. You just leave it at is and the player will remain relatively weaker during that time of day.

Now if someone truly is two different players depending on whether they're playing during the day or night (ie great at night/terrible during the day or vice versa), then you'd you need both a positive and a negative quirk to reflect that. I don't think they've implemented negative quirks though. Someone else in the thread asked about that being a necessary addition for something like Lester's pickoff move for example.

Yeah i was gonna bring this up myself too.

Someone before mentioned how Matt Harvey looked too slim as well.

I think they might be using some players weight from when they were younger/rookies, and not updating them as they fill out more.

Although Machado is still only listed as 185 pounds. He looks bigger than that in real life.

Don't know if anyone was paying attention during the stream but once they got to the Budget screen they started talking about all the GM stuff or owner type stuff?

well did you also notice that there looked to be more than one TAB to go through on this? could it be for all you "control" freaks that they may have put it in and hinted at it without showing it all off... hmmm... that is what I took away from that...

If that was the case, then it would have made sense to show it off in the deep dive.

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.

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...

# 319 mlblover15 @ 03/11/17 10:16 AM

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...

Yeah, I'm trying to wrap my mind around why schedules are such a tricky endeavour.
Maybe the easiest way would be instead of creating a set in stone schedule for year to year,
the AL-NL games could be set as customisable and the rest of the gams could still be set as the same from year to year.
