Same here!
I bought both mlb 09 the show and mlb 10 the show...and I don't think I've completed 1 full game ever. I religiously play rtts!

I have no intereste in tackling a 162 game season
nor do I have the time.

Rtts for the win, simply by far the best create your own player mode EVER!

I wish other games like madden would take a long look at the show and try to emulate it best as possible.

There is really no need to overhaul the Franchise mode, just tweak the sim, trade and roster control logic. If it ain't broke don't fix it.

I agree....and that's pretty much what's happening with '11.
I been trying to put that forth for a while now.....asking for bug fixes and minor tweak suggestions in the "two weeks" thread...but I guess guys weren't catching on.
Like I've said before....sometimes it's a see-saw...one area gets the most attention(or several areas this year) and the other gets minor improvements.
Franchise is getting tweaked and getting the bugs ironed out......there was simply too much else getting worked on elsewhere that took up the most dev time.
It's a balancing act and even with pretty much no dev time to dedicate...Kolbe, Jeff and those guys have found and are STILL finding some time to dedicate to fixing things.

Now...keep in mind that OTHER things that are being added and done to to other areas will impact franchise mode in some ways so even indirectly, franchise is getting some attention.

Don't freak boys......

I couldn't agree more with this post. Definitely how I feel about it.

This is the news I've been waiting for. The only other thing that would be oh so sweet is if you have more choices for hair. I mean, a REAL fade or a Caesar. Or cornrows that aren't two-dimensional textures. And hearing more about timing of call up logic would be sweet as well.

I hate having to purposefully stagger reaching my goals so I don't get called up just before I play in the minor league All-Star games.

And it'd be tight if you could control personality or something. Like how your player reacts to questionable calls or strike outs. Like if he's expressive he really throws fits or really celebrates a big play. But if he's more laid back, he just takes getting struck out in stride, doesn't argue with the umps and hits the pine.

Have we always had strength as an attribute either in RTTS or Franchise? If not, what exactly does strength do?

Strength ads to arm strength and power. Slight boosts to them I believe.
