MLB 11 The Show: Franchise Trade and Off Season Logic Has Been Massively Improved

[Dannyray64]

Yup, season mode never ends. I am an AVID season mode player, and I can never stop playing it. In MLB 09 The Show, my Indians franchise went to the year 2075 I believe. In MLB 10 The Show, my current Pirates franchise is in 2047. So yea...

Do players not age? How do new players get created if they do?

Players age and retire. Usually the last real players retire by 2030 or before. Through the draft, is how new players join the league. So past 2030, the whole league is made-up players.

What does this mean? The draft will be 10 rounds for next season?

The draft in MLB '10 was 10 rounds, but there were never enough prospects to get past, say, round 7.

So what are the differences between this and franchise mode though? I thought Knight had said there is no minor leagues? Is that true? So players go straight from draft to the ML?

What else is different from season mode to franchise? Why do you play it instead of franchise?

Season mode doesn't have any front-office stuff. I play season mode because I use classic rosters.

For MLB 11 can we change franchise length and innings length this year like we can in season mode?
