MLB 14 The Show Blog - Online Franchise

Seeing that some of the features of online franchise won't make the offline franchise is it reasonable to just make an online franchise by myself? Will it feel the same?

same if not better

I'm not too worried about the differences between online or offline franchise. I'll look at both, see which one has the features I want the most and go from there. Carryover saves is a must tho. If online has carryover saves, I will most likely go that route, if not, I will be more than happy doing an offline franchise.

Has anyone seen anything on how player progression will be handled or what the criteria will be for player attribute advancement?

Last year the schedule didnt allow to pick 1 game series. This for online leagues really helps us to be able to play more teams(buddys in league who we love to play at least once). It also means you arent looking for same opponent all the time. Please add back feature '12 &'11 etc, had..
this is what helps leagues survive and makes them fun.
Please add this feature back. Its the difference of playing 20 different opponents instead of 7/8 over an approximate 40 game schedule.

Thanks

All the changes are well and good if the servers are actually reliable this year. Online has always been the Achilles Heel of this series.

I feel like this sentiment gets posted a lot on here and in the past yes the net code has been TERRIBLE. I will not argue that. But it has vastly improved the last couple of years and MLB 13 was very playable online to the point where if both players were on wired connections and in the US the lag was barely noticeable. Even when I had to play on wifi the games were still lag free, mI could notice a few hitches, but overall the game was still more than playable.

I rarely have problems playing online in any of my games, but I've never enjoyed an online game of The Show. Even last year.
Lag really kills online games for me, but I don't typically have to deal with it. It hurts even more in baseball though, there's too much timing involved in the game for lag to not effect it.
If the net code is really improved, I might give this a shot. I like playing sports games offline more, but there's some really cool things in here
