@BodamEscapePlan said in PLEASE UPDATE ROSTERS!:

You guys have clearly been brainwashed by the marketing department. (I'm kidding... sort of)

"You start in March and it's a double meaning!" Sure, I guess? Would you really argue against it though if they did actually update the ratings? Personally, I thought the whole thing was just a very obvious and not at all subtle way to make the laziest Franchise mode imaginable and then they decided on the name to ensure that they wouldn't actually have to do any maintenance or updates throughout the year.

... and for the record, I do enjoy the mode but there are so many things that irk me about it; this being one of them. And they do update the actual roster once or twice after release so it's clearly something that can be done. I can understand not updating after the Trade Deadline because that would make a lot less teams less fun and desirable to start one up with but I do wish that we at least had the option to choose for ourselves. Even if it disables Team Affinity progress then whatever... at least they'd be satisfying both sides of the argument here.

I've read your other posts and, for the most part, I think we agree on most things. This is one thing I'm so tired of hearing because, I like the mode as it is.

I do apologize for the sarcasm and snarkiness of my previous post. I'm not changing it, because it's how I feel about it. I don't play for TA even though I'll choose my team depending on TA need. It's fun and challenging. Changing stats changes the challenge of it. If that's what you want to do, do it in franchise.

This is the mode I play after new years and in between programs. So I would have to say yes, I would disagree with changing the preseason stats. I like building prospects into MLB players. Making the A's into contenders is fun, but so is doing it with the Yankees, and I hate the Yankees. Changing stats to satisfy someone's need to have their favorite player change with the whims of the day is nonsensical to me. I want to make Corbin Carroll the premier outfielder in the NL. That's what we do in MTO. Changing those stats would do a disservice to what He and others have done this season. Prospect to pro. That's what MTO is. It's not live series. I don't want it to be.

Heh. The last time I saw a broken bat over the knee was Bo Jackson. I think you’re right though, someone else did it recently.

Those clips are awesome! I’ll put them up on my YouTube if you want.

Isuro "Kamikaze" Tanaka did it using his head with the Indians.

They'd have to switch the rosters from the Franchise files to the DD files. It's not impossible, but it's called March to October for a reason. You begin in March (and the rosters that were in March) and go to October.

It's the eternal struggle, man vs machine, it really hits home the reality that AI may one day make our decisions, it's a subtle warning into your future
