Give offline a nba 2k type overhaul and tear, rip apart and show love to online. I'll keep playing 14, it's just as beautiful, get 30 team control, wrigley field glitch isn't there, playoff pitcher stamina isn't tuned wrong and I get Cutch's locks.

Good for you???

Thanks for following up to my opinion, I enjoyed the stream. Definitely the prettiest sports game there is.

So, no ability to edit drafted players again in 16? I've wanted this to be added for a couple of years now. Being able to do this would make this game so much more realistic. Why not have the ability to edit the draft into real player names for future teams rosters? How hard could this be to implement or is it just that low on the totem pole for consideration?

Also, I assume we still can't just release players from a team roster outside of franchise mode? Forcing to swap players has caused a pain in roster management for far too many years with this game. I actually hate dealing with roster management.

When there are trades in real life I about go crazy trying to find a way in The Show to match what happens. There's no way to get 100% accurate rosters due to this limitation.

Adding to the above. I also assume there are no 2 for 1 trades or multi team player trades?

Forgive me for not wanting to go through 60 pages to find the answer to the following question; can we extend players during the season in Franchise yet? If not, what is the reason?

No and the reason is that the devs don't see it as that important. In reality not that many players receive in-season extensions. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/extensiontracker

I do think it should be added at some point as it's a big part of managing your team, especially regarding young players/prospects. Extending that one player at the right time could make a huge difference (positive or negative) on your franchsie. It just isn't that common in the MLB. Most extensions come in the offseason and are typically designed to buy out arbitration years. It would also let you alleviate some of the tediousness of the offseason in franchise if you could get some of that out of the way during the season.

I don't think that I've ever had a big need for an in season extension, however it would make sense if you were to trade for a guy mid season who had an expiring contract. If I'm going to give up several quality assets for a guy, I'd like to at least be able to try and talk to him about sticking around.

Last year's game was the most lucrative and most purchased game of the franchise... Just sayin'...
