@broken_toy1 said in Storylines: Derek Jerek - Feature Premiere:

Thank you for this. I like the different devs telling their views. May I suggest giving a time limit. Time limits can be adjusted after the fact, and can make the speaker more succinct.

As we experiment, we will learn. Editing can always be tough as we want to allow stories and information to come across naturally. As I mentioned before, we have had short streams with not enough detail and we have had long streams with too much. So finding that happy medium is important. Now a bigger question is what medium and series fits best as some fans may enjoy hearing more about the development process and decisions of the team, while others just want to know what Legends are coming. Bite size, short form, long form, streams, pre-recorded, or audio podcast. Some of these we do now, but all of these are options.

One thing we were testing with the last was a more focused questions and answers to flow smoother. Now were those the right question, happy to listen to feedback.

@The_Bane_Event said in Twitch Packs:

Does anyone know how many Twitch packs will come before The Show 24? I got 3 from the Feature Premiere on 2/15, but was curious if all the streams will have drops. Do they ever put Elite packs in those drops?

Plans are for 2 or 3 per Feature Premiere. No plans for an Elite Pack right now for pre-launch streams, but things could change. If we add them, look for an announcement via socials, The Scouting Report or the blog.

Until the game is out, if it doesn't come from theshow.com, one of our streams or our socials channels, it is likely speculation.

Vast majority of official ratings have yet to be released outside of those revealed during the Ratings Reveal Show and a handful of very limited players.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X said in Twitch Drops:

@CBrev47 @Collin_SDS is it safe to assume that all Feature Premiere streams will start at 12pm PST?

Feature Premieres will be starting at 3 PM.

Here is the schedule.

@OddCoIIector said in Storylines: Derek Jeter:

did Storylines exist before the Negro Leagues in '23?

No. Storylines was introduced in MLB The Show 23.

Tune in to the Feature Premiere this week.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X said in Twitch Packs:

Thank you. Look at you. Working on a weekend. Getting that OT.

Finishing up the next Feature Premiere. Hope you all are enjoying them if for the information on the game or just the discussion in them.

@raesONE- said in Twitch Packs:

Glad to see them replying and answering these very important questions

I'm always happy to answer questions on things I work on and can answer. We have lots of people in the studio who all do different things.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X said in Twitch Packs:

Pretty sure this would be better asked towards the development team that works on the game. If I remember correctly; I think Colin only works on the Feature Premieres and the stuff that has to do with this Forum.

I handle all our streams, so Feature Premieres, Live Content Show, some other video stuff and Twitch Drops. And I handle The Scouting Report, so all the emails and other things related to it.

@X-FREEZE-OFF-X_PSN said in Twitch Packs:

That's awesome! I do have a few. Maybe you won't be able to answer them directly yourself, but perhaps you could forward them to the people who do know? Would be greatly appreciated!

I can pass them along to co-workers who work on those areas, but I'm not the person to answer those.

@YOSHI24 said in Storylines: Derek Jerek - Feature Premiere:

I liked the format from last night, but it was probably twice as long as it could have been. Too many redundancies … and overall: a little boring

Thanks for the feedback.

We are experimenting with allowing the staff members who work on these features and modes to talk about it in depth and at their pace. We are still dialing things in, as we also don't just want to have a bullet list. It is a process, and we are still learning with this experiment. Also looking back at our old dev streams (like 17, 18, 19) we would spend just a long due to fumbling around trying to show something off. So we have always had long streams/episodes.

Tune in for the Live Content Feature Premiere.

We will have more Drops on our own streams and more Drops for All in the future.

@GoozeFn said in Storylines: Negro Leagues Season 2 - Feature Premiere:

@Blind_Bleeder

Getting them and claiming them in stream has never been the problem. They just never show up in game.

We fixed an issue related to that. So if you claim, they will be in your inventory. If not, please write a support ticket.

Remember all drops are for MLB The Show 24. So if you watch and claim, they will be in your inventory the first time you boot the game.

Scouting Report Packs return in April.
We typically send them out on the 2nd Tuesday of each month, unless there is an MLB event such as All-Star Game.

@Dolenz said in What are we expecting to be the subjects of the last two feature premieres?:

Is this the first year they have not let us know in advance what topics the feature premieres will cover?

This is the 2nd year we didn't release the episode focus. Last year we released it after a couple weeks mostly because there were features that were unannounced and similar to this year.

@SaveFarris_PSN said in What are we expecting to be the subjects of the last two feature premieres?:

I realize they had to go with Feature Premieres in 2021 because of [virus redacted] and just kept doing it that way after, but taping them instead of doing it live took away little moments like this.

We will likely for pre-release content to continue for them to be pre-recorded. While it does remove some of the fun chaos of those early streams, it also allows us to at least attempt to stay focus. Are there improvements? Absolutely and happy to listen to feedback.

As I mentioned in another post, the bigger question is what medium and series fits best as some fans may enjoy hearing more about the development process and decisions of the team, while others just want to know what Legends are coming. Bite size, short form, long form, streams, pre-recorded, or audio podcast. Some of these we do now, some we don't, but all of these are options for us to explore.

The Live Content Feature Premiere is 100% live as we countdown to early access as well and when the game is released every Live Content Show is live as well.

@nymets1987 said in Signing up for Scouting Report?:

If you were signed up for the last few years you are already signed up for mlb 24 right?

Yes. As long as you're an active subscriber AND have an account correctly associated you will get the Scouting Report Pack each month.

@PAinPA said in What are we expecting to be the subjects of the last two feature premieres?:

The pre recorded stuff is fine,maybe next year add in an area where ppl can post questions( like a week or so before) and then have one where the stream is about that( even if the answers are - we can't talk about that now...)

We have ideas and we have talked about ideas that are similar. It can get tough to ask for open questions on a feature that isn't announced yet

There are a lot of options for us to explore moving forward. Perhaps we will even experiment with them during the season ahead.

@GoozeFn said in twitch drops all weekend on twitch:

Is the 5 limit per day or what?

Five for the entire weekend.

@DaboiNoah said in J.P. Crawford’s rating:

@collin_sds https: //www.theshowratings.com/jp-crawford
it says 70 overall in the show 24.

That site does not have official information and we haven't released JP or many players ratings.

I said it in the other thread. Right now please only view TheShow.com, MLB The Show social channels, our streams or official MLB accounts as the only people who have accurate information.

@YOSHI24 said in Signing up for Scouting Report?:

Did anyone receive a newsletter in the last 24 hours? I did not

The last one was on Tuesday for the Gameplay Trailer.

@nckmasse90 said in Storylines: Derek Jeter:

@collin_sds are there any new gameplay features beyond storylines?

Tune in and find out.

@palmerjones_PSN said in Storylines: Derek Jeter:

So that leaves 2 feature premiers left and one is for DD.

Don't forget the Dev Tourney.
