MLB 14 The Show Blog - Online Franchise

I dont see these online features being available for offline yes coding not the same, but again Sony is pushing for PS Plus subscriptions so get your money ready

Looks nice, but a very important key question that is not mentioned is whether or not the "Online Franchise" like the "Offline" Franchise will carry over to the next versions of the game.

Looks good for you online franchise players. To those saying they don't get online franchise play. Really? Competing in a more completely fleshed out baseball universe vs. other human opponents and/or CPU opponents as well doesn't sound appealing? If this mode had Manage only Mode....I doubt I'd ever play offline again. M.K. Knight165

The only reason I won't use online franchise is because I like to sim a lot and simming is time intensive when doing it server side, that and I prefer the offline off season a little bit more in that it isn't as sequential.

The stuff that can be saved now is great and online franchise will be great for people looKing to play against members anywhere.

I imagine things that would break the balance of a multiplayer mode or that could be abused by other players. Maybe if you run the league/franchise you can do some of those things maybe like managing injuries. Maybe there are options to enable this type of stuff, but it would be weird to me if you could have the same level of control online that you could offline.

Things like editing players would be the big one I can think of. Would be really unfair if you could (even as the comish of the league) edit a player's attributes or change his position.

This is the same assumption you made on TSN, yet have zero Dev comments to back that up.
I dont think its a good idea to tell people things as if it were gospel when you have no proof, but rather your own conjecture.

Lets stick to what we know and can prove as facts and let the Devs fill in the blanks.

The last one to be right is still better than the first to be wrong.
