MLB The Show 16 Video - Franchise Mode

[Knight165]

Funny(not haha funny)....that the online guys want the online franchise to like the offline franchise....and I've been begging for a franchise mode that mimics the online one(in terms of being able to customize the league setup)
OR
Let us manage only in online leagues!!!(PLEASE!!!)

The only way to make any type of fair game with it is to have fictional budgets with fictional salaries to level the playing field.

Or if the morale system can produce results like those, hopefully it is very rare.

I think the different leagues/ballparks have something to do with it. Samardzija was a much better pitcher in the NL then the AL. Alot of it is mental too. Players traded mid-season take a while to get acclimated so partly could be done by using morale.

Last warning guys. Stay on topic or real warnings will be on the way.

It's still odd to me that offline franchise and online franchise have different aspects to them. It seems more logical to me to make online the same as offline but with the added bonus of having online users vs. AI.

Maybe that's just me though.

I really like these additions. I can't believe people seem dissatisfied with this. Oh well.

It was over $300 million, but who's counting

So during free agency the players will take into account other things besides just money?
