With online leagues, you have to schedule a time, be on time and hope the other person is on time. On top of that, if something comes up, you really can't pause the game and hope the other person doesn't do the same. When playing offline, I can start a game at 6, play a couple innings, just pause it if something comes up for an hour or so and get back to it later. I get both sides of it, but for my schedule it isn't fair to me, or more importantly to my opponent to be nailed down to it. Stuff happens. Some just like the flexibility of playing offline against the CPU and it's just frustrating to see that we will have to pay extra if we want to see all the new features they added this year to just have a fully functional single player franchise.

Fast play quick pitch/generated counts is an option

Moses that don’t support QC, are RTTS, Show Live, and Diamond Dynasty. PL isn’t in RTTS, Show Live, Diamond Dynasty, and ALL online modes except for Online Franchise (but PL is only functional for vs CPU games).

I don't know what the long-term plans are for the franchise mode, but if the devs plan to move the entirely thing to online, then I think the current state is understandable.

I understand online gaming isn't particularly appealing for many users given typical experiences (lags, various access limitations, insincere gamers, etc.), but one nice thing about online is that it might make it easier to exchange feedback, because the data we save onto servers the devs can quickly access.

One thing I've been intensely curious, however, is whether online games allow cross-platform access. Like can an online franchise be shared with a gamer on PS3 and PS4? On DD? Rated online games? That's fairly critical for growing community.

My question would be along the same lines as some of the things asked before that haven't been answered.

I'm not one that plays online franchise at all (combination of friends not having a ps4 and the fact that I only play once the wife goes to bed), so I love offline.

But, so far I like the changes that have been made for online more with trade logic, etc. If that kind of stuff is not in offline, are there limitations to online franchises if I were to have the computer control all of the other teams?

I'm wondering about things such as having to wait a certain period of time to advance days, games lagging due to connection to the server even though it's just playing a CPU opponent, or just anything else important that wouldn't be in online but would be in offline?

I absolutely love this series, had it since the beginning. I can't wait to see it. It's pretty sweet that they allow user created rosters online too...although the only one I ever use is OSFM

Ok, am I reading this correctly....you need to have AT LEAST 6 players to do a fantasy draft for an online franchise? Why? My buddy and I want to do an Online Franchise together, but only with fantasy rosters because we don't want to be playing two franchises (Our online and our offline one) with the same team/rosters. A Fantasy draft would make it more interesting.
