A Few Issues With Online Franchise

[BenGerman]

So I've seen some stuff scattered throughout the forum, but I figured we could locate all of the problems in one thread. Here is what I've found so far:

1. If you think the loading times are bad offline, online is 50x worse. Pretty much every action, from looking through schedules to changing your lineup, has a loading period before you can do anything.

2. The scheduling is really weird. For one, you can't see the pitching matchups from the main schedule screen, and if you go into the game to see the matchup, it won't let you back in without resetting.

3. The trading is really neat (there is a value system in place), and the logic seems great. Unfortunately, there about fifteen trades to sort through a series, which can get really hectic. A lot of them are unrealistic (more in the sense of why would they do that, instead of the trades being unfair), so you have to sort through which ones you don't want to go through.

4. My entire group of friends all had the CPU pitcher throw 130+ pitches without being pulled. It seems like the AI in general is worse, for some reason.

5. I've mentioned it elsewhere, but the fantasy draft logic is awful. You also can't auto-draft, so unless you have a good ten hours on your hands, fantasy drafts in general are a no go.

Anyone else seeing anything? I'm hoping they can get things worked out, because the idea is awesome. It will be a lot of fun to play if everything is ironed out at some point.

i've also noticed that you can't edit players at all. i wanted to change some positions of a few guys and it seems there is no way?

For anyone who is curious, the fantasy draft goes 50 rounds.

ME and my brother did a online fantasy draft and besides the ******** fact that there's NO SIM or AUTO DRAFT, we waited it out the entire god damn thing and then we went to the league and our MLB starters are all GONE!!

Anyone else have this issue? I have been searching for hours and haven't come across this issue anywhere so I am beginning to think it's something we aren't doing to like fully activate the league or something.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, other wise I wasted legit about 3-4 hours of my life for this dumb **** not to work.

I've had the same exact problem last night our rosters are still not there and I have no idea what to do this is frustrating we drafted 12 hours ago.

i'm mainly doing a single player franchise...just testing a few things out with a 14 game season. i'm noticing that it's pretty difficult to sim through the season. i simmed through my season fairly quickly, but doing that from your own schedule doesn't sim through any cpu vs cpu games. i went through each teams schedule (only 14 teams) and simmed them all the way through...now they're taking awhile to go through. most of them are queued.

I did an online fantasy draft last night with some of my friends but for 12 hours now our franchise has been stuck on the "cleaning up draft" stage and will not move to the "draft finalized" stage so we can play. We don't have the players we drafted and the whole process took too long not to work. What can I do I do not want to redraft and do a whole different franchise???

AI managers only go through 2-3 of their starters (they come back fully rested) so I faced the same pitcher in games 1 and 3 of my series. That's absolutely horrible.

I can't post a new thread yet, so thought I'd start here. I'm in a group trying to do a new online franchise. The commish for our league said they're using the OSF rosters, but every time he tries to upload them it makes players ratings off. For example, David Price drops from an overall 90 or 92 down into the low 80's. Jeremy Hellickson drops from an 80 down to 61. Clayton Kershaw goes from a 99 down to the 80's. Doing this lowers guys stamina and the pitchers are getting tired after 60+ pitches. Has anyone else seen this happening? If so, what was the fix? Thanks!
