MLB The Show 17 Video - Franchise Mode Tour (Game Informer)

[Turbojugend]

Honestly, focusing on making Franchise games faster is probably for the greater good. I wonder what the stats are on most players even finishing a single season in Franchise, not very high I'd wager.

It has me concerned. That is about the third time that we have seen that same animation where the second basemen has to jump throw back across his body to turn the dp from a ridiculous angle.

Furthermore, the entire play was setup with the infield in. Meaning the play was designed to come home. The middle infielders were not set at DP depth and a throw like that should probably result in the second basemen barely reaching the bag in time for the force at second (resulting in no other chance to get any other runners).

The shear timing of getting to that bag and catching the ball and finding the footwork to touch the base for the out would probably be all that a real life player could handle.

Not to mention that conceding a run in that situation for 2 outs doesn't really make sense that late in the game. But that was user error.

Nice video. I know a lot of people here on OS don't WANT ways to sim games and activities, but a lot of us DO want ways. Simming alone always resulted in so many decisions that I wouldn't have made. So I tried to play as many games as I could, often using quick counts to at least maintain some control. And I could barely finish an entire season. But now with Quick Manage I could really see myself getting 3-4 years into a Franchise, heck, multiple different franchises this year.

Exactly. I have a couple of franchises I play every pitch. Now I can run multiple franchises /season replays with a "play one sim 5 approach" with quick manage and critical moments.

It opens up a whole new pandora’s box of playing various flavors of franchise and classic roster seasons for me personally.

I am super stoked.

We saw the uniform sets not individual pieces maybe there are extra hat options

I was hoping critical situations would happen every game. In madden you have several instances per game. This seems like it can sim several games in a row before it decides to give you an opportunity to contribute.

Judging by the info we've seen so far I think your best bet for a similar experience would be to play quick manage and then pick and choose what you feel is critical and jump in and out.

I wish on the quick manage screen, it had pitch counts or a percentage of health left. Hard to tell with a bar. Maybe that can be changed at some point
