This is AWESOME! I honestly never even thought of this feature, but it's a huge stepping stone! I hope they incorporate a solid online franchise, because that would take it to an even higher level.

I wonder how this will work. Will all the player/teammate models be carried over to every game now? Will the create a player mode be limited by this?
That was a good read.
The questions on "how?" are valid and I'm sure have contributed into why it's been asked for ....for so long, but is just getting into the game now.
I know I've spoken to the devs about this for a number of years now and they have had it on their radar before that.
My guess is that you must complete a season. Most likely to the last day of the off-season and save your franchise/RTTS/Season file(if they are all included in this feature, which I hope they are)
Each new version of the game will include a file converter and will convert the old game save into a new game save.....with any new additions being set to a default and you'd have to go into the editor and change it yourself(say if they added a different body model or equipment/hair..etc additions)
It's just my guess....but I think all players that are on your save file from The Show '14....will be in your game on The Show '15 and beyond.

Ive thought about this feature before, part of the reason I dont play MyPlayer modes is because you have to start over each year if you decide to upgrade the game. It sucks and quite frankly, aint no body got time for that.
It is so unbelievably awesome The Show is doing this. This feature alone will make it a day one buy for me.

how awesome will classic rosters and fictional rosters be now. Actually getting to play from 1985 to present or earlier...hell start from the beginning
This is pretty cool but the ultimate question for me is did they fix the stats in Road to the Show and franchise mode? I know it's not like this for everyone but for myself, this was always a game-killer. Having every MLB team with a batting average above .300 is so frustrating. And it is commonplace to see the best team ERA hovering around 5.00 with other teams ranking around 7.00-8.00. It's immensely frustrating and hopefully will be fixed this year.

People screamed that the Red Sox were too good in this years version when it came out.
SCEA predicts the future....embrace it.

As my signature indicates, I'm thrilled about this!
Will we have a TRUE online franchise mode in OOTP 14, and will it work with this sort of career import?
This could replace the text sim.

He does raise an interesting question as far as how retired players will be ported over to the next game even tho they are no longer in the MLBPA. I also wonder how real life free agents, trades, releases, etc., will be handled.

In NCAA Football, you could save your player and then use it in Madden. Probably the same thing, but with a larger, larger, larger database

Future edition saves... hands down the coolest thing. Too bad I have to wait until March of 2015 to use it! lol

If Derek Jeter, for example, retires at the end of the real life 2014 season, but he doesn't in my MLB 14 The Show Franchise, will the save transfer to MLB 15 The Show still have my Derek Jeter on it?
My best guess is yes; the game wouldn't try to distinguish the retirement from the roster slot. But Derek Jeter appearing in an MLB product without belonging to the MLBPA could possibly present an issue.
I'm not pretending to know the legalities of this, and I'm sure SCEA SD has a way to handle this already, but the question is an interesting one.
i always dreamt that EA would do that and your guy was cross-game like he played in FIFA and Madden and the NHL. This has definitely made me want to buy the MLB The Show series!!!

How you described it is what I hope for though, for sure.
