MLB The Show 17 archived live stream focused on Franchise Mode

Compared to other areas of the game the reveal of Franchise Mode improvements for MLB The Show 17 has proven underwhelming. One new feature, Player Quirks, will affect team construction and gameplay, while most of the other work has gone into features that assist people who want to get through games and seasons faster. Critical Situations and Quick Manage join Player Lock and Quick Counts as optional methods that can be utilized to speed through games while still having at least some influence on their outcomes.

The lengthy developer stream archived from the live broadcast goes further into the features (but nothing about Online Franchise) while also presenting even more gameplay footage.
