MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

[MetsFan16]

This is great news. I know a lot of people are saying stuff like, "I'm going to skip this year because they said that Franchise will be getting a huge overhaul, but most of thier energy went towards the Vita. So I'm going to wait for MLB 13." And the improvements they made this year even with the Vita is a lot! New Trade Logic, Lineup Logic, New front Menu with upcoming game and league leaders. This mode is definetly going to be better than MLB 11 wchich already very good!

The Franchise home menu has been enhanced, bringing you more team and league content, including…adding in your next game information, displaying the current standings, and showing you the current league leaders for batting and pitching. These additions aren’t limited to the Major League ball club, and are also accessible to your Triple-A and Double-A teams.

i only have 10 and this stuff was already in there.
was it taken out in 11 and put back in for 12?

Meaning it's no longer hidden behind button presses.

Blzer.... I'm counting on you to post comparison shots of 11 & 12's franchise menu screens so we can see all the differences and improvements and get even more excited

Anything new with signing free agents? I thought Ramone said that it had been improved...

I had pretty much all this info in my CES show thread but it's good to see it's in a blog now.

11




12




sorry for the low quality youtube pic from 11.
maybe someone can get the standings page as a direct comparison.


still the same skeletal look to the menus, i'd say the color and borders were changed.
but location, size and style is the same as 11.
looks nicer than 11 to be sure, but its still based off the same design.
and still looks waaaay to cluttered [not this screen, but the player screens in the blog]
this has been a problem in every Show installment.


heres hoping for a refresh for 13.

LOL, no comment.

Edit: Ok, maybe I do... One question, econoodle: may I ask how you feel about the stat graphics, scorebars, tickers, and other displays on MLB Network?

I think it looks really good. The starting pitcher spot is pretty sweet.

The "MLB 12: The Show hands on preview" with ESPN The Gamer Jon Robinson it says
"Add to that the addition of Season and Franchise mode in co-op, new pitcher confidence logic, and franchise improvements that include new contract logic, improved trade logic and an all-new free-agent signing process, and you have the baseball game "Show" fans have been waiting for."

So where is the info on this "all new free-agent signing process?
