It's "next week", I have an itch that needs scratching...

Perhaps another nugget or two this week at some point, if not an initial Twitch schedule.

I'm right there with you! Hopefully something soon.

I would spend untold hours building something from the ground up, if given the chance.

yup.
I haven't bought the game since mlb 14.
A stadium creator would definitely get me to buy the game again.

This thread needs to stop going Bold on the home page. My heart can't take the swing of emotions thinking there are actually new details revealed, just to see an original post date of December 19th

Same. Lack of expansion or create-a-team/stadium in franchise mode is keeping me sidelined.

Don't worry, next time we get new info it'll have a new thread with a new title... probably...

It's starting to get that way for me. Obviously we know next to nothing about 17 yet so I'm not going to make assumptions, but my Number 1 want for this game is and Expansion/Relocation/Rebrand type mode, and we've been told how huge of an undertaking it would be to have a good stadium creator, which is understandable, but I'd hate for that to be the reason that it never comes to fruition. As awesome as a stadium creator would be, it's not entirely necessary for that type of mode. I'd be perfectly happy with a Expansion mode without it, and instead have a handful of generic MLB sized parks (like the generic minors parks). I just don't want a complicated stadium creator to keep this game from ever having a true expansion type mode.

But the way this game has been going for the last 3-4 years it doesn't feel like we're gonna get a huge new mode or big visual jump, and instead continue to get incremental improvements to existing modes and lighting tweaks, with heavy focus on DD (again, understandable). But for me, it's getting harder to justify the $60 purchase every year because the game is good enough already that I could just stick with last year's game without feeling like I'm missing too much.

I would love for my mind to be changed with 17, and I still am very much looking forward to getting more information.

Yeah it's time of year where February no sport is on, (only another boring patriots super bowl) and I start thinking of MLB and the show game.

Sorry but Madden Killed their game back on madden 12 or 13 whatever it was when they decided to bring in that CFM rubbish, the fact that you gotta spend 30 mins to have 32 team control, and have players all dissapearing because of roster limits is a utter complete joke, it makes roster creating for that game a waste of time because of the amount of players that vanish when you start a franchise up. EA turned that game to a world of Warcraft spots games with RPG aspects, wouldn't be so bad if we were not all FORCED to play that mode only in franchise, at least with the show we have a season mode for those who just want that.

what I wanna see with the show is, a import player option, there was talk a couple of years ago, there is nothing worse then halfway in your franchise and someone is missing from your roster, lets say Ortez was to come back out of retirement in June. we would have no way to import him into the game, we would have to create a fake rookie player for him (if there was one spare) and a old guy would be running for rookie of the year with no career stats. a simple import player option I would LOVE LOVE LOVE. I usually keep a few Vets with service time to try and get around this problem on my roster, and use them to edit if something like that happens. that way they won't go for rookie of the year, and I would just take a camera to see the SCEA player and spend 1 hour making him myself.

I think Franchise we need more storylines too, we used to have the newspapers but that got cut.

Madden also seems to be improving quite a bit year on year. I would not really call The Show the best sports game anymore. If anything it's become more or less on target with every sports game out there and none of them differentiate enough to be called the best anymore. Just my opinion.

He clearly stated that it was his opinion. Just to give you an idea of where his comment was coming from.

How exactly? Releasing last year's version of the game as a ps plus title has not hindered NBA2K at all. I have actually met people who never played the game before but became fans and purchased the current years release because of it. At this point in time, how many sales of The Show 16 do you think are selling?

I agree that PS Plus-ing The Show 16 wouldn't hurt anyone's bottom line that much. But as far as sales, there usually is a crowd that buys the previous year's sports games at a deep discount and are always a year behind. Also, since The Show is PS4 only now, there are probably still a chunk of users who are just now upgrading to PS4 and may want to pick up MLB 16 to hold them over until MLB 17 releases. I did this with MLB 14 when I got a PS4. I had it on PS3 already, but I bought in on PS4 for 20 bucks to hold me over for 3 months until the new game released.

Thank you! I guess I'll check back on March 10th then.

# 178 ssimpsons3 @ 01/28/17 02:21 PM

Very excited to see DD Seasons finally getting added. Seemed like the natural next step, and I'm sure they will implement it well.

All of it looks great though, lot of additions and variation added to, seemingly, all the mode.

...gotta love Y2Y saves, get excited...start now? Why not!

# 179 Syce @ 01/28/17 03:10 PM

im pretty sure the

" *** ******* Presentation Package " = Ken Griffey Presentation Package.

this is based on the MoCap video that was released.
