He doesn't mean users....he means players....and I don't think you can.
Sorry about that.

I thought we did at SCEA....but I guess not....I must have just been setting up a roster to upload and use.

My bad.

Yeah, that's what I meant. I constantly tweak the roster in franchise once I start it.

That's what I assumed from the beginning, but some of the posts since I said that a while back made me think maybe we could have that level of control similar offline franchise.

So does this mean traded players (photos) will be wearing their original teams hats?

Pretty sure it's going to be the same as last year (Cyber photo). There has been no indications that it's changing as far as I've seen.

I refer to my post of March 5 on page 5 of this thread. If the answer is, 'Online Franchises' will not carry over to the next versions of the game..., then this whole thread should get a lot lighter and very much irrelevant to those who like to carry long-term franchises, especially when the 'offline franchise version has such functionality.... like the olden days when games weren't made new (same) games every year you could run a franchise for years...

The thing is until you can import players into a franchise already started the save carry-over isn't as big of a feature as you are implying, at least on here. A lot of the more diehard The Show fans use OSFM and like to have updated base rosters as well each year. I am a person who will likely never use the save import feature because I need to have the most updated rosters as soon as I can get them. That's one reason to start a new franchise each year.

Online franchise will have plenty of appeal to a lot of people because

A) it has logic updates that are a BIG deal to many if they are considered improvements by the community (they could be terrible, its possible)
B) Is the only way to play franchise with other players

The mode might get irrelevant to those who like to carry long-term franchises, but don't expect a mass exodus.
