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

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.

In years past yes I would agree with you 100%. This year not so much. let me explain why.

they have stated in the previous videos this year that they are NOT giving all the info for all modes so that you will have something to look forward to when you start up the game this year.. not to have you know everything prior to purchase.

I would think that putting in a line or lines of code that would be a randomizer of sorts for that and narrow it to whatever field you need it too would work.. just my brain thinking here.

Getting the math down would be a complete nightmare.

You guys have to remember that Interleague play isn't just randomly scheduled in real life, there is a lot that goes into it. Sure, they could randomize, but I feel that if they are going to do it, they'll want to do it accurately.

Every single year after the franchise stream I find myself wondering why some of these people are not playing Out of The Park baseball.

Hasn't the mlb schedules been done by the same couple every year for about over a decade now?

Both games are great but you while you can contrast the Show and OOTP, to paraphrase a great man, comparing them is like 'comparing apples to pencils". I think the Show mom's would may be better served by OOTP, but for actually getting in the batters box for a few hacks, or stepping on the mound for a few tosses, nothing compares to the Show.
