WHY?!?! Franchise Mode Complaint

[onlybygrace]

How hard would it have been to add the ticker found at the bottom of the BAP HUB screen to Franchise Mode?

It streams scores, standings, league leaders, injuries, and transactions.

It would have added a really cool element to Franchise but NOPE.

They just have to find ways to torcher me for no reason, it seems.

I hate the little scoreboard at the top right corner in Franchise mode that changes every 2 seconds and the Message Centre needs to be customizable and placed on the front page.

The HUD from the Trade Deadline is perfect. They should just copy/paste it everywhere in Franchise

Similarly - in that it's a feature found only in one place - I am *baffled* that they obviously have the ability to give players a picture instead of a silhouette since they do it for your created player in Be A Pro... but not for any of the CPU-generated (or player created) players in franchise mode in the draft (or anywhere else).
Why is that not a thing? Why should we be stuck looking at a team entirely of silhouette's once you get 10-15 seasons deep on your franchise?


It doesn't matter functionally, but it seems like such an easy, obvious feature that should be in the game but isn't. And there's so many little things like that that confound me, that are almost more frustrating than bigger issues; I get why it's so hard to get the AI as good as we want it, but allowing us to force trades, or make CPU-CPU trades (or nix CPU-CPU trades that we find unrealistic or just unsatisfying), or edit draft prospects (not to mention creating/saving draft classes entirely), or forcing/declining a player retiring... those things seem to me to be incredibly easy things to program. (I mean... I have no idea, I never got much past Karel the robot, but... that can't be hard, can it?)
