Well im concerned that with updated stats being put in next year why start a franchise this year when the stuff that actually matters wont be put in till next year? Will the stat tracking be implemented so stats/milestones will carry over? Lets say i play 3 or 4 years and accumulate stats? Can i even accumulate stats and milestones this year or it won't be till next year? Thats why i think some people are hesitant to start new or old. More details would be good for everyone imo. Thanks

We could edit the numbers to our liking, & basically anyone with a 99 would never get traded. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Interesting idea. I kind of like it.

Did they improve a Computer-controlled team in franchise mode from throwing players onto the Trade Block 4 or 5 weeks into the beginning of year one of a new franchise, that teams would never ever trade block? the new franchise I just started after updating all the rosters to 2015 spring training (hey - i get bored waiting for a new season), and by mid-may Toronto trade block'd SP-Sanchez, and LAD trade block'd Joc Pederson, BAL trade block'd Kevin Gausman, and WASH trade block'd Max Scherzer. this would obviously never happen in a billion years in actual real life. so does 2015 have any improved logic in this regard or will i have to disable computer trades to prevent a 2015 Franchise mode from looking like fantasy baseball by the end of the 1st season?

If a guy can hit a homerun that goes 110 MPH, then surely he can hit a line drive 120 MPH. One solution should be upping the power slider, but then you get too many homeruns.

One thing I think about when I hear the whole batted balls down the line is Michael Cuddyer's triple to cap off the cycle in '09. (Although it's somewhat more of a blooper, down the line nonetheless.)

I am sure it's been answered, but are roster files able to be moved over so the guys don't have to work from scratch creating new ones?

Not yet, but I believe they're going to try to get that in next year.

Not for '15, its been mentioned as something potentially for '16 though.

Does anyone know if this changes for certain teams throughout the franchise? Say Miami starts out the franchise in rebuilding mode can they switch to a team making a playoff push?
