Put balks on and I'll play.

That‘s rude ...

Thanks for the input gang. I rebrand my team and a buddy of mine told me the same as Amadioha72 said at the end of a regular season.

Unless the roster is a full 90 man roster it is unplayable as a multi year franchise. SO with 25-40 man classic rosters the best thing to do is turn on CPU Roster Control and also control all 30 teams.

Play it as a one season replay. No injuries.

I have been employing this method for over 12 years with classic rosters that are not full 90 man rosters.

Do i use a usb? Or do i already need the pics on my playstation ?

You need to create it with the in game editor. You cant import them from outside MLB 20

@alstl04 said in Real minors:

Good idea, poorly executed. The devs should work with the people making those rosters to make sure there is a proper balance. If nothing else they should edit the rosters to make them work in a franchise.

I'm with u a 100 percent.

WTF is that?

That's a bug.

@the_dragon1912 said in franchises matter to Not only DD:

They need new minor league stadiums or classics like tiger stadium and candlestick. A stadium creator would IMO ruin the online game. I’m fine if there is a stadium creator in franchise but never in DD

How could anything possibly make DD any worse?

I think they have to play something like 20 games to become 2 way eligible.

Message me on PSN my gamer tag is Porter4213
I would like to play as well maybe we can get a good nucleus of guys and build it from there

A rare example is when Trea Turner played all 162 games. Can't do it in The Show. Not even close.

@davidb69 said in Question - does attendance impact team revenue?:

Shocking that they ignore something else in franchise mode that is broken to help sell packs that real players care nothing about. They only want to show these cards for extra money, they sold out.

Example A of how to alienate most people who would agree with the lack of franchise focus
"Real" players apparently don't play DD.

I don't think that's what the poster meant by "real players"....I think they meant that in general real DD players understand that there's not much marginal value in buying packs from the Show Shop.

I think they should put roy

In its previous form, it wasn't sustainable, so it was scrapped for 18. This is known. It would have needed to be rebuilt from scratch. The place to start is a platform that can be leveraged across multiple modes, that makes expanding each of those modes much more possible. With the custom leagues we are offered in 20 (whatever that will be) this is the beginning of that rebuild.

There's no point rebuilding OFM as its own standalone thing, it would require a massive amount of resources for limited (financial and games played) reward.

It will return, and in a tighter, leaner, more user-friendly, server-friendly and developer-friendly form. We just need to accept that it will be incremental. SDS will be keeping an eye on quantitative data (which game modes are played) and also qualitative feedback (forums) to make the decisions on how much is jammed into each increment. I'm guessing 21 is going to be the year we see something that resembles 'Online Franchise' again.

EDIT: Why incremental? Much easier to detect and fix problems when there's less things to test. Bed down the things that work in 20, add to it in 21. Rinse and repeat.

This what I'm talking about... As much sense as you TRIED to make ( merely an outside looking in DD fan with ill intent to discredit the ONLINE FRANCHISE crowd in order to make others believe that resources would be taken away and or the fans won't give the mode the time of day.. ) with this post, you failed... Miserably!! ONLINE FRANCHISE MODE has been rebranded and called " ONLINE LEAGUES " and I'd be willing to bet that they're will be more options than before.. NEXT GEN " ONLINE LEAGUES "??? Yeah, you can bet they'll be much much more to come as far as FRANCHISE goes.. Sorry, but you sir were dead wrong!

Thanks for the eval, but I don’t play DD modes. Played some extra innings games in 15 and finished the original Conquest map in 17 but nothing since.

All I play now is Franchise, RTTS and M2O. I’m all for Online Franchise’s return, the only reasons I never played the mode previously were that I had a dodgy internet connection and the way it was setup was laborious. I discredit nobody. Well, on the old forum I discredited DD quite a bit, but now I discredit nobody. The sooner we can all live harmoniously without the us vs them mentality the sooner the game will progress for the benefit of all players.

So to quote a fellow non-DD user, ‘Sorry, but you sir were dead wrong!’

Yeah ok buddy.. Whatever you say.. You're clearly backtracking your statement but it's fine. Far from being stupid! ......

At the end of the day, IT'S BACK!!! I know where I stood from the day they released that letter back in 2017 and I've had many conversations with guys like your self who've said the same thing.. The ONLINE FRANCHISE COMMUNITY always knew that guys like you would all sit at one table and EAT YOUR WORDS!! Now look at you... Boom!!

You don't know for sure if it is truly back back. Probably closer to a seasons mode than a franchise mode.
Don't know why I even entertain people on forums like this.... The sad thing about it is that they'll continue to argue their point when a blind pig could see the truth or history in all!

Again, it's just those that have no life whatsoever and those that feel some form of entitlement when it comes to how games should be developed! Those are the ones that kill games.. This generation of gaming sucked because companies listened to these idiots... But that's over with now.. The hardcore try harders reign superiority once again.. Lol!! Who has the last laugh now..

I think Dante needs to ease up on the Wheaties.
You probably need to keep my name out your mouth..

You probably need to take something else out of your mouth.

Yep... You've pretty much summed it all up for majority of the GUMPS that post here

Lmao @ there NOT being an FANTASY DRAFT!! 😂 Kick rocks.. Don't get mad at me for it!😂

If you look up the retired numbers for each team you’ll notice you can’t assign them when you edit or create a player for that particular team.

As much as I hope it's full franchise, I fear that it's not. The next Live stream schedule states - "New Custom Leagues, competitive events and Legend reveal in this developer live stream! Simple and flexible leagues with your friends...".
