@PitGreene75_MLBTS said in RTTS in Franchise mode question:

Thanks for reply. What if I set Manager Tasks control for 40 man-roster, Lineup and Roster moves to AUTO but keep Trades,Free Agency ect manual. Then there wouldn't be any trades unless I accepted them or initiated them, correct? I think this would give me a RTTS type experience but control roster if needed. Ideas?

This would work for what you want.

@lynnispin_NSW said in Equipment:

I like this years game but equipment updates I’m tired when I see content creators playing franchise mode and the equipment of their team is all out of control. I know some people don’t care but if you are trying to have the most realistic franchise equipment is a big part. I made a roster with major league players and minor league players equipment edits. Please add the right equipment on players.

You can’t really control what those people do though. They can put them all in Jordan cleats if they feel like it.

It used to be you could carry your franchise over to the next year's game, but they stopped it when they began cross-play. Have they returned to doing this, or do you still need to begin fresh each year?

I haven't played Franchise since '19, and I'm thinking about leaving DD for Franchise if I can carry my organization over to next year's game.

I heard the current generation consoles doesn’t allow for this. Seems like an odd statement.

That does seem odd. I've always associated it with cross-play, but, that is the same time the new consoles came out. That is a true bummer if it's true. That was one of the best things about Franchise. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to build an organization and manage it if it all goes away at the end of the year.

My thought was maybe the MS and Nintendo consoles where the problem since they were the new kids on the block. I think that makes more sense to be honest. I loaded MLB20 onto my PS5 since it still has my franchise into its 22nd season running strong. I haven’t played it since last summer.

If it's a console issue, I suspect the Switch more than the XBox. I don't remember if I brought my '19 team over into '20 or not - I should check that. If not, I can go back to '20 and bring in my organization and play that.

Thanks.

You’re welcome. It stopped when they added the new consoles so I just assumed. New generation makes more sense. Cross saves makes sense as well since you can go from old generation to current generation.

@LARGEDOME_PSN said in Spring Training Roster updates:

Seems like franchise mode is in a nice direction. A problem thay needs to be fixed thay has been an issue for years - user controlled roster moves after spring training. Once spring training ends, it automatically makes the waiver moves for you and drops. Unless I’m missing something, but don’t like how it automatically does it for you.

Side note - would love to see a more interactive spring training that shows progress of rookies that are proving themselves and make it a little more interactive.

Make your roster moves (send the players from the 40 down to AAA and AA and watch out for players out of options) before advancing into the regular season. Just head into roster and make the adjustments you want then press the advance to regular season button.

I dont want to play anymore until is fixed

Another game update and still nothing. Very disappointing and irritating. Come on SDS, do better.

Never have I ever actually finished a season since they took away the shorter seasons.

I’m late to reply but I got myself in trouble for insulting someone. I should just insult the game instead of people. You can get it but it’s so impossible to get now it’s like a unicorn. I use to play on Dynamic but had to limit myself to All Star in order to continue playing or I would have quit weeks ago. I also restarted my franchise and in 118 games I probably have gotten a dozen hits of 115+ MPH which in today’s game isn’t realistic. I would have to dumb it down to casual to get more realistic results and I would probably win 90% of my games if I did that.

@Hot_Rod510_PSN said in Created Uniform upgrade needed:

I really enjoyed the Negro Leagues storyline this year and truly loved seeing the details in the throwback uniforms. I mostly play Franchise mode because I love to create my own players (in particular former Negro League players and Fictional ones from all the baseball movies) and uniforms and would love to see an expansion in this area.

I would like to see the following options added for next year's update:

-More uniform styles (i.e. checkered patterns similar to Chicago American Giants uniforms, faded jerseys and pants (i.e. College/Minor league styles). Also have options for different uniform quality from previous eras (i.e. wool, baggy fits)
-Ability to add Team/City/Custom patches to jersey sleeves and upper right/left section of jerseys for manufacturer logos (i.e. Nike, Jordan, etc...). These should be separate from the usual Jersey name section
-More lettering and number font styles
-Additional Catcher equipment options
-Additional Cap styles (i.e. more patterns, diagonals, etc...)
-More cleats style options (include all styles from previous versions of The Show)
-Jewelry (earrings, medallions)
-Unbuttoned Jerseys (1st 2 buttons unbuttoned showing t-shirt beneath)
-Cutoff sleeves on Jerseys
-Undershirt/No Undershirt option

I also would like the ability to choose how my player wears his cap (i.e. backwards, tilted left/right, low (covering eyes)

They probably can’t allow the Nike logo on custom uniforms for copyright reasons however you can get the Nike logo from the vault and add it onto your jersey yourself. I had it on my Spiders jersey. I do wish I could put my Spider logo on the sleeve where the number is though. 🥺

@Dodgerzfnz6771_MLBTS said in in franchise players numbers on there uniforms:

i am just wondering since 23 is different then 21, because i did not play 22. i noticed that some of the players on aaa, aa & a milb teams for the mlb teams have the same number. is there is reason why that is. if someone can answer this for me that would be great. it may sound like a stupid question but im not sure if 22 is similiar to 23 or not.

Same number as the player in the major league? They won’t have the same number when you call them up. The number will go to the next available number. For example if you call up Diego Cataya it’ll change him from 17 to 21 unless you decided to use Walker Buehler then it’ll change him to the next available number which is 27.

It was saved. That's the weird part. Its like something got corrupted.

I had saved and continued play 2 - 3 times for the 2 week(games) span I lost.

I'm retired and have plenty of time to play, but I can see where it would be a problem if you're working.

waivers rules, move players from mlb to aaa and vice versa etc.
but
