I hope that answer is no!

We've never had to restart our franchise before, why would we now?

I'm using 30 team control because I wasn't sure if they would be able to fix it or not, I'll just keep playing my franchise with 30 team control. I just won't have to worry about stepping in as much I don't guess.

I believe it's the "win now / playoff race" or "we're out of it, lets rebuild" mindset. Effecting how teams deal with trades, do they trade older guys to teams in contention for prospects. Or are they in the hunt, and just need that experienced bat or pitcher to make it all the way, and trade away younger players to a team that's out of it already.

Well technically speaking we have had to restart in the past, 2 year ago I believe when the schedule mishap was causing franchises to freeze up and you either had to sim past a chunk of games or restart your franchise.

Hmmm... looks like you guys fixed a few things.

Awesome stuff, thanks.

[LionsFanNJ]

Excellent news.

Russell,

Great work, thank you very much. Hopefully this all parlays to a much better Franchise experience.

On a side note, and I'm only mentioning this here because it seems like you'll notice it in this thread, I noticed that you were describing players as having numbered ratings:

If somehow (next year) we could get these numbers into the game instead of the 'bars', I think it could help us a lot more with comparing players and choosing players for trades or free agency, etc.
I'm sure you've seen requests before...just thought this was a good time to bring it up.

Again, thanks for the patch work.

Do not hold your breath on seeing numbers instead of bars.

I would rather see more detailed scouting reports... that way we are choosing on strengths, and not the highest number like games of the past.
