Sorry Hustlin. Never had to contemplate doing an online franchise by myself in the past so I had no idea how it was in years past. Sorry for being silly.

Yeah i'm in the same boat, never played an online franchise and I just got confused from the interview and how everything was worded LOL.

Ramone - you answered yes to a question on a thread I created about playing any game from any side's schedule in franchise...in the vid you said you'd have to double check...were you referring to online leagues here?

Sorry, just getting a little worried that I'll not be able to pick and choose games during offline franchise and watch them as cpu v cpu.

Thanks

Hmmm it didn't show up on tapatalk so I thought it might have been deleted. When opening in safari it was there.

OK so create a stadium is on the horizon!!! Man I could've sworn Russel once said this was never gonna happen because of the crazy amount of detail in the stadiums and all the factors that come into play like lighting and ball behaviour. So now going to ps4 with all the stadiums going next level they're gonna put it in...interesting to say the least but oh so exciting!

Ramone looks/sounds a little bit like Wood Harris lol

Online, offline is the same as previous years.

You could Hustlin yes, but sometimes it's good to let the cpu do it's thing too. I'm certain it will be ok following Ramone's comments a few weeks ago. I just get worried that it's something that has maybe been cut in the latter stages of the development cycle.

and with 30 team control you can do exactly that let the CPU do its thing by setting everything to AUTO for the "CPU" Profile associated with those AI/CPU teams

Video's often times don't show up on tapatalk. Thats what happened to him as he mentioned above.

# 35 shaneomac @ 03/22/14 05:51 PM

Ramone are you able to confirm if classic stadiums are in the ps4 version this year? I know the consensus in this forum is they won't be but I was hoping to get a yes or no on this. Thanks a lot!

# 36 nomo17k @ 03/22/14 06:43 PM

Very nice interview. A possibility of create a stadium is very intriguing!

# 37 Cowboy008 @ 03/22/14 06:52 PM

Russell said they rebuilt all of the mlb stadiums from scratch for the PS4. I would like to know about the minor league stadiums did they just get ported over this year?

Ramone, can you carry over your online franchise to future games like you will be able to in offline? For some reason this question has yet to be answered.

Y'know, I'd have to think, that also sort of implies the possibility of create-a-team, doesn't it? That's the context where create-a-stadium functions best.

I asked the same question a month ago. According what I was told they did NOT port them over.
