If I want to use the latest OSFM to upload in MLB 15 for an online franchise. I am guessing it won't work, as I won't ever actually have the file in the format needed for upload in 15.

Yeah...that would be great...I'm all for it....but we don't have it....and a few of us are just speaking on how this new feature can help us out to not have to redo everything every year(mainly for historical rosters I would say).

If I'm reading you correctly....you want to take a roster created in a version other than the one you are playing with and use it?

I wonder if carry over will work for online franchises anyway?

Right. The way I understand it is---


NO for Online Franchise carry over. Meaning I'd need to wait until the OSFM is completed again, trade all players to their applicable online franchise teams, and then upload that file in order to carry over my league. Forget having correct contract details.

Very few people play MoM with The Show (I wouldn't be surprised at all if the mode gets scratched... I think it would certainly have been if not for Knight's positive presence in the community throughout the years). The closest I come to playing MoM every year is to play CPU vs. CPU games, which is mostly equivalent to MoM under the hood, and this year's game plays fine though it needed a couple minor slider adjustments. The CPU gameplay certainly isn't as broken as you want to believe it is. Also, It is actually not true that The Show produces the most realistic MLB results with the sliders at default. The recent iterations of The Show has always been tuned to produce noticeably less walks in favor of more hits (which is intentionally done by the devs), so if you really cared about the gameplay in MoM, then some small slider adjustment has always been necessary, unfortunately. Most simply don't notice it since walks are less noticeable than batting average, (which is the reason why OBP has been so discounted over batting average even in MLB...) I know all this is waste of time with you, but I'm just setting the record straight for random lurkers in this forum! MLB 14 wasn't really broken!

People are so incredibly sensitive - a simple question asking whether you play Manage mode with default sliders is obnoxious? The reason I asked is because you indicated gameplay was improved and I have had the opposite experience. I have never adjusted a single slider in manage mode and the game played solid prior to this year. This year I finally finished a season play and my team was last in nearly every offensive category and first in nearly every pitching category. It is clear the gameplay is lagging behind offensively in games played - not simmed and not quick counts.

I could post the exact results although you seem to have your mind made up already without having played the mode.

Why the uncivil reaction? I asked a simple question. I'm a Vietnam veteran and a retired cop from St Louis. I'm perfectly capable of going to a different place if the situation calls for it but this is a forum about a baseball game. I see no reason for that kind of a response.

I found your asking question obnoxious because you already knew the answers to your own questions, from our prior interactions and the way you keep inferring feedback from someone like myself contributed the gameplay to become off this year. Yet you keep posting the same thing over and over again.

(You know, aren't you someone who were venting in TSN forum that you would never read OS again after you got banned last time? What made you change your mind???)

I've played a plenty of CPU vs. CPU games (many more than you have), which uses the same gameplay engine. And while I agree that the this year's game is low on offense at default (for different reasons that you keep reiterating... no, CPU discipline is not the primary culprit, BABIP is), the gameplay itself isn't so off that the developers need to be repeatedly criticized for the game balance.

And the low offense was very correctable with a few minor slider changes that people made after gathering and sharing knowledge. Where is your contribution? Shouldn't a forum be a civil place where people share work and constructive feedback and help each other, rather than for an individual to rant about how the tiny portion of the game in a rather obscure game mode few people play didn't play work exactly right under one and only one setting that he wants to use? Especially when a few people already had suggestions as to how to correct the issues so that he can simply enjoy the game, rather than spending and wasting frustrating hours without solutions? And isn't that you, who recently "lost interest" in this year's game, when I warned that you'd be wasting a lot of time finding out what we already knew back when you came back to the forum half a year ago?????

It gets very tiring the same misinformed people venting nonsense over and over. It is silly but also very sad some people are wasting time like that...

I used to wonder why veterans in this forum don't necessarily actively participate in discussions. This was just my third year in this forum but by now I know why and have learned to ignore most of them and also contribute less...

... but sometimes certain things should be reminded since I personally still enjoy this game very much.

I'm not sure if anyone else feels this way but after helping with OSFM the past couple of years, it kinda sucks putting in a significant amount of time and energy creating players only to have to do it all again the next year. The video recording thing helped a little but is not really ideal for me, and I imagine copying the grids down in a notebook or something is much, much worse lol. Having transferable player files would be an enormous time saver, I could see OSFM being done a couple of weeks after the game's release.

If they have real player contracts I am buying, if it is their ******** ability based contract deal they seem to love I am going to boycott. I HATE HATE HATE the way they handle player contracts in the game.

Well you are not going to buy it then. Because it is not an SCEA/SDS issue, it's an MLB issue. I remember reading on here that for some reason the MLB doesn't want the real player contracts in the game.

That's a strange issue to be a game breaker. Kind of like saying if they don't decide to put name brand gloves in the game I'm not buying because I hate generic gloves. But hey to each his own.
