But not nearly as much as they would if they upgraded Online Franchise and did not give the RTTS and Diamond Dynasty fans a reason to buy year after year. Or if they didn't try new modes like Conquest or Battle Royale to try and bring in new players.


It is unfortunate but it makes the most business sense.

Bland, seriously? Enjoy your older version of the show with less features than MLB 16 franchise mode.

I'm sure it did. I never said otherwise. I wasn't bagging the new game, I was just mentioning my disappointment with the franchise upgrades. I rented 15, I didn't see the glaring difference between 14 and 15. I rented 15 to see if the wrigley glitch and the pitcher playoff stamina were true. Some people can spend money at will. We put these old games in our forgotten memory bankk, 14 is a beautiful game. I'll wait on the 16 glitch thread to surface than I'll give it a thought. 65 dollars is a lot of money. That expensive price fuels my opinion. Sorry if I offended.

Actually sir, I have every feature I want with 30 team control clear back to my PS3 version of the game. Yes I was serious with my opinion.

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 am an Angels fan and it's happened to Mike Trout and Jered Weaver in recent years. It would just be nice to not have to worry about certain players of yours ever hitting FA.

Can we do 3 team trades? If not, what is the reason given?

No 3 team trades, and reason I would assume is it's not easy to implement/code.

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?

There is a way for 100% accuracy, but it's time consuming and not many do it.

I just edit the skin tone, names, positions, potential of the top 5-10 picks. Because of the scouting system the game has to generate a bunch of prospects. Would be cool if we could just import some prospects into to the scouting pool. I'm sure guys on OS would be happy to create international and draft eligible players for each year for the community to use.

Which game had importable draft classes? I haven't played an NBA or NFL game in a while, but wasn't there a game that had this or maybe still does?
