I know this is off subject and maybe late as hell.

SDS, can you please clean up your "suicide" "safety" squeeze commentary, there is a difference.

Just my pet peeve, it always irks me...LMAO.

Here's a vid I found for anyone interested:

It's not a secret that it has been a skeleton of the offline version and a part of me hopes that it is finally touched up this year. Perhaps this will be the year where they do merge Offline/Online together like Madden was able to do.

I don't like to compare other sports games with one another but I really love the fact that Madden was able to do it with their mode. In the end, their 'Connected Franchise' idea basically became a lot stronger and one of its better modes. It didn't hurt to see them link it with their companion app later on.

Look, I know that the Online Franchise group received some backlash last year when we complained (call us whiners, if you want) but you cannot question our love for this game. We just want to feel the same type of love that the offline group receives. We do have friends to play Online Franchise with and there are people constantly making leagues with strangers that they invite from websites such as this one. By merging both modes, players that play with friends are happy and people who play franchise by themselves are too. This would make both franchise groups happy without feeling left out. Here's to hoping that Online Franchise receives major love this year.
Couldn't have said it better myself. Many glaring issues with the mode that's has gone untouched since MLB 14. I just wish they were able to confirm if it has at least been updated.

Hard getting amped for the game when the portion you play may be the exact same.

Not every new feature, improvement, or change is on the schedule. Be sure to watch the vlog's and streams for all the info.

would like to see the camera in retro mode in the other modes. Ive been trying to replicate that type of camera angle in previous MLB The Shows and can never quite get it right.

I don't think so, probably one of the hats you get when purchasing an upgraded package.

Totally agreed, there are times when the head/neck connection looks awkward. It would awesome to see this get some attention in 17, certainly wasn't expecting it!

Man, I see so much goodness in this feature list. Can't wait to lose a bunch of work hours to those afternoon live streams.

Talk about drool worthy... Having her in the game would be as exciting as anything else lol

I know it hasn't been mentioned. But I do hope to see some improvements with the "Sportscast Manager". I really love using that rather than simming games during my franchise league. I'm not expecting it, but it would be great to see.

Whatever happened to the Human IK engine? Is that still a thing or did it get scrapped? I remember that was a huge emphasis in the trailers a year or two back and then I dont know what happened.

thankfully no harold reynolds, Jon Marosi would be great for on field stuff.

If and only if theyre replacing Karros and Lyons, despite the popular belief it will be MLB Network related a good possibility for the second name is Ray Fosse He's on the west coast in California near the studios and has one of those baseball voices, plus hes a super nice guy.

To the Bob Costas guess, oh man I wish! never happen but wow

Everyone uses IK not just the pitchers, it was just easiest to show off the changes using pitchers.

That was a typo on my part. I meant to delete pitchers.
