There is the option to add a "legacy draft" in Franchise. The way it is implemented though is a bit strange. If you select it, then the first year as GM isn't all that different, but the first postseason becomes radically different as hundreds of legacy players are suddenly made available for drafting such that teams can radically change their rosters.

Moreover, certain legendary players such as Henry Aaron and Rickey Henderson, are able to suddenly expand their iconic career records such as RBI's, homers, and stolen bases and hits.

Awesome okay.. unfortunately looks like ill need to restart .. but i will turn off auto save and make 2 different files for the franchise..
Thanks much help!

@NiceKicks9023_XBL unfortunately it’s not possible anymore 😞 feature was taken away in 21 and has not returned much to the disappointment of almost every franchise and RTTS player.

I'll allow it. Go have fun.

Jeez. ofc after an hour of searching and finding nothing. I found that the Custom Game Entry has a notch to the left (presumably Not Set and not 1st inning) for the inning to enter. Ok. Hope this helps someone else if I'm going to embarrass myself lol

@Bucwild97

You have to do it manually. The best technique is to lay out the logo on the uniform and then work to match that color on the uniform itself. Note the color that matches best and then make that the first team color.

@TheSimplications

I am at the point now where I wouldn’t care if they added micro transactions to Franchise if it meant that the mode would get a completely new look.

Dumbest suggestion ever. Microtransactions kill innovation. You are exactly what they’ve been trying to mold their (game publishers) customer base into.

In the moment i was pretty pissed off and irrational i will admit. But my opinion this game still sucks and is just a reskin of last years game besides all the stupid glitches and bugs this game seems to have developed. So while i do think its possible my console possibly did away with my file i still think this game is a gigantic “WASTE” of time and money and i do recommend “others” to skip this years edition (which was not my original intention anyway but you seem to think that when I was actually hoping possibly by some chance in hell SDS would see)

@TR71777 It's because those players weren't DRAFTED, they're FA. Doesn't matter what their age is. They do not follow the same rules as drafted players.

Edit to add: started playing this game when it was 989; played exclusively franchise and RTTS until 2019. Most old-timers are in the same boat: started as offline players in these modes.

Now if the logical explanation is not the one you want, well, tough.

Yea I double check that a few days ago I just been waiting on the full minors roster it happened to me and i couldn’t find players i didn’t sign in the free agency or anywhere. But to answer your question if you don’t have the chance to sign any drafted player they would may be drafted again in the future, as long as they are eligible. But because this a game you won’t see that player again because it seem there is a random draft name set

They need to bring back the notification of players being placed on waivers instead of us having to go into transactions everyday to see who was waived

You'll never see a challenge during simulation or CPU v CPU only in games that are played by you

It is absolutely a bug hence why I'll randomize my pitchers delivery and if I've kept track of any other drafted players' I'll change theirs too

I wish the rebranding extended to ALL of the presentation elements like the cut scenes showing who is due up in the next inning instead of the generic "the Show" stuff

I think if we had a direct quit it would have to nullify whatever XP/stubs we'd get but offline players shouldn't be as concerned by that plus it's fair. I hope they take this into consideration

@IamaAlien85 I get the perfects often enough but I don't have quite that experience. It's much tougher to hit for sure and I ground out and pop out against CPU far more on HOF and legend. For pitching it feels faster or I have to be more precise on timing. I use pinpoint too as it gives the least RNG when the ball is released from the pitchers hand.

I play like 75% online and only do CPU stuff when I need to get points for something.
I also only play CPU stuff on HOF or legend so I don't really know how the other difficulties play out. The issue I have is batting against CPU. It's either I get the perfect perfects and hit the homeruns or they are sub par contact and they ground out or pop out. The cpu rarely hits a HR on me but they do get a few base hits and I've lost conquest games for sure from base hits.
You might just be getting the right pitches through each time. Since there is no player influence on the game the CPU might just read your perfects as they should, perfect. That's how you win.

They typically do better on players that have been in the league for a while. Most prospects and rookies have pretty bad graphics. I assume it's because they haven't gotten as good of looks on the new players.
