Customize your player, make tough choices, and chase the big leagues in one of The Show's most prolific modes.

MLB The Show 17 delivers the most realistic and personal baseball gaming experience on consoles. This year The Show offers exciting gameplay improvements and a greater ability to personalize your baseball experience.
Looks like it kind of answer's peoples questions about
Spoiler
if you are a starting pitcher, will get asked to move to the bullpen.
Also, I'm hoping these dialog options and choices you make can help you get traded or get more playing time when you get called up to the MLB level only to ride the bench your entire first year. That has been an issue in RttS mode for many, many years - called up to MLB even though there is already an All Star (or at least a higher rated player) at your position, then you are stuck as a pinch hitter/role player for months and can't develop.
Man, this looks soooo good. It's exactly what I want out of a player career mode, plenty of deep RPG elements without being shoehorned into a storyline that doesn't fit my player at all (not sure which game I'd be referencing there).
I have about 30k stubs left in MLB 16, I plan on creating an outfielder, an infielder, and a pitcher, start their careers but not advance a single day, then buy them each a pile of training points with my stubs, and wait for The Show 17 to come out and carry them over. We'll see how it works, if they get the full PYP experience or not.
