All the way up to being a dynasty.

Yeah man... holy hell would that be sweet or what

Madden uses real cities [Los Angeles, Mexico City, etc] with fake names/logos/unis [Bulldogs, Knights, etc]

I miss the days of MVP Baseball where you have to play in a stadium that starts small but grows as the team does. Also, any chance you can move and re-brand a team like this past year's Madden had? By far and away that was the best aspect of the game

There is a 0% chance of any of this happening.

That sucks. Any particular reasoning why? I can't see the MLB halting a game mode with fantasy cities and teams.

Looks like The Show series will continue to be the only major sport I don't buy every year, but every other year. Hope they institute something like this for '16 then

I wouldn't be surprised if it was an MLB restriction, which I think it is. Because for some odd reason, which is unknown to me, the MLB did not want players to have their real contracts in the Show.

We had this discussion before. I was in the exact same boat as you. And the conclusion reached was that the MLB doesn't want their brand image hurt. You can read the debate here.

OK cool, thanks for this... hey who knows, maybe we can get something like this soon. I can only imagine it as a natural evolution of a product that is already seeming stale in just it's second installment into the ps4 lifeline

Yep, just did and replied to it. I'm not new to the site, but I'm new to the board and I had to register once I saw some of the talk for this year's game. I literally bought a ps3 just to play The Show in 2010 or so. I was shocked they didn't have a mode like this then but the game was the best baseball game I've played so it wasn't going to ruin the whole spectacle of it. But after four or five years now it's hard to get excited. Especially on the newer console... which is a mammoth bummer because there's nothing better than getting a new sports game on day one. I don't mind improvements to gameplay/lighting/etc when everything else is perfect... but when other aspects are yawning for implementation, or even just an upgrade [commentary and presentation], it's hard to toss $60 at it
