The question at the heart of our video is what you would like to see added to franchise mode in order to feel like "starting over" is worth losing carryover saves this season.

I want to see expanded rosters. no injury disabled list limits put as many on there as you want. make roster editing and moving players easier then the nightmare it is now.

they have to completely change the way rosters look at work for it to be worth it. If I see it's just the same boring 90 man rosters again with 12 A guys just sitting and the stupid way you have to move players around to fix rosters. there they have taken a step back completely and it wouldn't be worth losing the feature.

More realistic pitching staff tendencies from the AI controlled teams.

Especially in the playoffs.

Would love it if the CPU manager decided to pitch his stud ace on three days rest throughout the postseason. Or maybe take the Ray's approach and go with some wonky six-man entire staff takes a turn approach.

Stuff like that would be cool. Having the starts based on days between starts instead of cycling through the rotation on a clock.

yes 6 man rotations would be great! it's a real pain to do manually right now.

I really liked continuing saves from yr to yr but what I would like to know is could be put back in hopefully in a title update? The big thing would like to see that they would put in yearly schedules.

expanded minors, playable full single high and low a, 15 man rookie league squad non-playable. editable coaches and managers, twice as many existing umps, major league to minor league options editable, 25 round drafts. yeah, I don't want much. just everything lol

As I've said before in other threads discussing this topic, for me, it begins and ends with expanded rosters. I'm hoping we get 26 thru all 4 levels (MLB, AAA, AA, Single A) as well as some "placeholder" roster spots. I'm hopeful for 120 spots which would be the 26 at each level plus then 16 placeholder spots.

IMO, nothing else in franchise that adds to the depth, roster management, free agency, drafting, international signing period (if they added it), trades, finances can fully be expanded upon until the roster size is large enough to handle such improvements. Think about right now, how many good players are free agents after the end of a season simply because the CPU tries to balance its roster for stars, prospects, journeymen, and roster fillers.

If we don't hear of expanded rosters as an improvement to franchise mode in '21, then I truly don't foresee myself ending my current franchise in '20 and playing '21, I really don't. Because I don't believe that the other improvements to the game will be worth starting over, because I feel that you'll just be starting over to get to the same point, eventually.
