I'm not saying I don't like the game or that I don't think this team is not great at what they do I jus think they sell out on the casual side of this game to much ..

I'm not sure you understood his post. He never said or even implied people play DD more than franchise.

Don't hate on me too much, just me 2 pesos. But I waited weeks in anticipation waiting for some Franchise talk since we got the Schedule of the streams. I know they added some stuff that people wanted and that's great, and I understand they can't please everyone. But to wait weeks for a Franchise stream and then finally watch the stream and only get 30 minutes of what felt like rushed, and at times unenthusiastic franchise info and then BOOM right into the dev tourney....ouch. I don't know. feelsbadman

Also a point I would like to make: For those that play Franchise with budgets turned OFF....for those that don't pay a whole ton of attention to advanced stats....for those that just like to play Franchise for the fun of keeping a team going on through the years, there's nothing really worthwhile except for maybe player morale.

This is a day one buy for me mainly because of SOTS and PBR, but Franchise has been lackluster for years now. They've gotten rid of a few fun, interactive aspects from years past such as ticket prices, vendors, putting players on magazine or TV spots, getting TV contracts, and the newspaper (even though I think the radio show will be much improved from last year).

I guess I just like having more of a say in my FRANCHISE, which sometimes includes non-baseball activities.

I want to be able to place sponsor ads, buy generated sponsors like years past, etc. The only thing that'll make Franchise seem fresh to me this year will be Sounds of the Show.

OOTP may be more up your alley then. Its a damn good game for deep stuff like that.

A couple things I noticed. I see there may still be some roster management issues. End of season SEA is carrying 4 catchers and CLE has 14 pitchers.(possibly 13 if the DL player is a pitcher)

PLayers now can play 162 games!!

And you can now tell if a player has been extended a Qualifying Offer.

Okay I need something cleared up from the wonderful folks here at OS. (Because I feel like I am getting conflicting reports on this matter)

Let me lay this out as clearly as I can....

At this moment I am playing MLB The Show 15. In season 1 (So the real 2015 schedule) And I am playing with what I believe are the latest OSFM rosters. (Everything accurate minus small things like Ian Desmond still a F/A)

When The Show 16 comes out, I understand that the rosters will be the same as the rosters I am playing with right now on 15. Which I am okay with it, because they are very update anyways, and have ALL the prospects there.

Now things like new stances, new face scans, all previous stats, will they be there when I load in my franchise from MLB 15 over to 16'? And when I finish my 2015 season on The Show 16, will the 2016 schedule be the correct schedule for this coming season?

If any of you have these answers and know 100% that what you are saying is correct, please get back to me. Thanks!

I am just trying to make sure that I am not wasting my time the rest of this month by playing my 2015 franchise on The Show 15.

Thanks guys

We'll IF it's not in '17, don't start posting that Ramone led you to believe it was in. .


For me the excitement is pretty much at the peak. Just need release day to get here.
Does the game have everything I want? No. But what's been added to an already great game has me ready to play.
Hopefully I can player lock without having to use RTTS cam. If not then maybe next year.

I 100% agree. This was the stream I was most excited about, but it has unfortunately been one of the weaker streams. Two things that have killed franchise immersion for me has been scouting and future scheduling. They have made changes to scouting so I'm optimistic it isn't broken this year. I am highly disappointed that future scheduling isn't fixed. It makes me not want to progress in my franchise. I got to season 2 in my Rays' franchise and I only played the Marlins once, but had 7 games with the Phillies lol. It's really unfortunate.
