I've gone through multiple routers and have no wifi for days while I get a new one. Its a legitamate concern, but not as big as Perfect Zero is making it out to be. Think about every other game ever. Thing about a game like Titanfall, Xbox Live was having major issues when it came out and will go down again in the future, either due to maintenance or malfunction, during that time Titanfall is unplayable. That sucks, but its part of online gaming. Its why there needs to be parity between the modes, if they are both being called Franchise. The difference between online and offline should be multiplayer or single player. If that was the case there wouldn't be as many issues with the changes.

agree, but when developing for 3 different platforms deadlines need to be met online crowd would be just as upset if these issues werent implemented into the mode

The thing is, if the AI logic was a copy of the current offline franchise logic no one would have noticed unless the devs said they scratched the logic improvements entirely since they couldn't get them into offline as well.

I don't think that is a better solution at all though, its nice that at least some improvements that have been asked for a long time made it in at all.

It is just weird knowing that when I play RTTS I will se different lineup logic than I will when I play a single player online franchise. That is just weird, I can't put it more eloquently honestly.

Why wouldn't you just use 30 team control in franchise and use the player lock for the RTTS gameplay? That way you can set the lineups however you want.

Okay guys, we've all said our peace, can we move on from that discussion and get back to discussion of the blog please?

I am really excited that there is editable potential because some of the players potentials are WAAAAYYYYY off, especially the A's players who never get any love in this game, but the Mets players are off too and a few other players like Billy Butler, a B potential?!?!?! but glad theres editable potential cause that definitely needs changing, i do understand theres a two weeks till this game ships but those potentials are way off

I'm excited for on line franchise. Now it won't be trade after trade in on line leagues , now it will be about building your team to stay competitive. Trying to mix and match the veterans with the up and coming players on your team, while staying in your teams salary cap.

Hopefully everything meshes well and us people that have been waiting a long time for multiple seasons on line will be in baseball heaven.

But what is the point in playing your Franchise online if youre only going to play the CPU?
