It won't be in the game. You can play regular franchise and change team name, location, etc. now. Online Franchise literally had the least amount of hours played by users the last year it was in the game (2017).
There are still ppl playing OF in 17 so there's a dedicated base that can become much bigger now that there are more players in the game not to mention players who never played it but might get into it just to switch up the experience after 3 years of only DD.
Franchise is just too easy even on legend besides I play the show to play other ppl that's the real fun imo.
Just because a mode has a smaller player base doesn't mean it should be scarped you want as many ppl playing your game as possible I have met a lot of ppl who stopped playing bc there's nothing for them since they are not into DD or offline playing.
I understood why they took it out years ago but the game & studio are bigger now and only going to become bigger next year when they introduce the game into other platforms all the other sports games have it baseball is not different.
If you are a dev and need to make room on the servers so the servers aren't down for the first three weeks the game is out, you are going to scrap the least played mode which is OF. You may have met "a lot" of people but your handful of people you are talking about not getting the game anymore doesn't put a dent in their revenue. They would rather have a game run smoothly out the door for hundreds of thousands instead of it running poorly but keep the couple thousand happy who played OF.
I hope the new mode/tourney scheme does bring you some version of OF because honestly I am tired of seeing it posted every other day by the same group of people.

People are still playing OFM. I myself would rather play OFM, but 17 is so dated it's hard to go back.
And people are also still playing DD. I don't see your point?

You're seeing the same ppl because a very small group of players actually use this website if you go on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, and other online forums you'll see other ppl talking about it. Of course, it affects revenue more players means more money it's simple.
Your statement was true 3 years ago but SDS is a bigger company now which means better servers and more capacity to make the game bigger. This is not an indie game anymore the fact that the show is going to be multi-platform next year should tell you that they have upgraded their servers massively.

You are missing the point. In the grand scheme of things, DD is played significantly more than OF. When DD wasn't even a thing more people played Ranked than OF. OF is a cool game mode but when you look at the numbers of users who played it, it is very very low compared to all other modes.
You are right, next year is a huge year for MLB the show going to multiple consoles and platforms which means more individuals will be buying the game. Servers have obviously improved and they improved significantly in 2019, I just hope this new league mode gives those OFM fans something similar so they can be satisfied.

Yeah, and? Point is there's no reason to not have it now.

Clearly there is a reason not to have it or they would put it back........just saying.

They would have already said if they were including online franchise probably. Looks like I'll be waiting until 20 is free on PS plus again.

Omg.. Why is there such disdane on a mode that you guys don't care for? Just why? Why even comment with the same garbage people have been saying for years? The same people who spew this hidden hatred for us OFM guys just want it to burn so that more attention is given to DD.. I can not wait until this CREATED LEAGUE thing busses their bubble.. Please, just go away!! We've heard it long enough! Jeez..

I am just tired of people constantly complaining about the game mode not being in the game. They removed it years ago and gave reasons why they did remove it and at the time they said they have no plans on it returning in the future. The created league thing may be the best thing to keep you happy and I am happy about that.
Complaining about not having this game mode is just as annoying as people complaining about lineouts in this game. Everyone knows it's an issue don't need to repeat it everyday.

It's none of your business what anybody does and it seems to do more harm than good! You don't see people in DD threads whining and being nosy.. Just saying! Our threads only come around every once in a while and it's obvious that there are people who just like keeping people down... Now we have hope and guys are still acting like they have the last say.. Sony Sandiego also said in that same letter that things could change and seems that time has come! Stop trying to ruin our joy and participate in the threads of modes you do like! Smh..

We are complaining bc ultimate team modes have effectively killed any other modes in sports games especially the show.
I love both OF & DD but as I get older I see myself wanting to play mostly OF because of the time commitment that DD requires. Whether it is grinding through RS, moments, missions and etc DD requires a lot of time no matter how good you are.
OF allows someone to keep playing but not have to log in every day to keep up with content while also giving ppl something new to do in 20 im entering my 5th year playing DD and its getting old the reason I keep going is because I love the sport and love the competition of RS.
No one is saying DD should not be the main focus for SDS lets be real its how they make most of there money but ignoring other aspects of the game is not good either. Look what happened to COD last year they took out the campaign and as per them not too many ppl played it yet there was an uproar and they had to bring it back for this year's game. There should be options like there are in other games.

OFM is also more fun because it's setup like actual baseball where you play the same people several times per season. Trades are worth the time and value, and imo that's way more enjoyable than obtain best player and plug them into your lineup again and again.
-
It's amazing how people's first response is it was the least played mode!! Of course it was when none of it worked properly. If DD played as bad as OF then it would be played less to!!
OF was never updated, multiple seasons wasn't right (played the exact schedule every season), gms would always go to que and sometimes not count, Playoffs wouldn't start sometimes, took forever to start a lg sometimes a day to multiple hours etc. I could go on!!
With all that being said me and a couple of my friends ran a lg of 24 dedicated user's for 5 yrs. We worked around all the problems the gm had cause we wanted to play OF.
So before everyone bashes OF know the circumstances of why it was the least played. I do like DD but at the end of the day I'd like a realistic team to play with friends and not have to deal with the bunt dancing, holding R2, etc of DD!! IJS -

This thread was posted in General discussion so anyone can comment. Secondly, you and him both made a thread so it isn't once and a while. I am not trying to keep anyone down, if they were going to bring back this mode they would have announced it. It isn't coming back but the leagues mode may give you a taste of that old mode. Go back and listen to the reason they got rid of it in the first place. Just like people complaining about lineouts, the same thing is to be said about OFM.
Everyone knows it is missed and a small group of people (compared to the pool of players) want it back....no need to bring it up every day in a post.

You are trying to compare the only offline aspect of a COD game to a small portion of what is an online mode called Online Franchise....terrible comparison. Furthermore, 17 million copies sold in the first 8 days and this is while Fortnite was at its peak. Don't say not too many people played it. And this years game is made by a completely different dev team and company. Anyway, here are some stats for you as to why they dropped it. In 2017, the last year of OF, there was a total of 493,000 games played in OF. SDS sold 1.09million copies of MLB the Show 17. That means on average each user played less than half an OF game. Compared to the average 75 games of RS a user played. There was a total of 81,800,000 RS games played. Yet, OF put as much stress on the servers as DD did.
I pray that this custom league mode is similar to OF so you all can enjoy.

None of what you just said warrants these clear post of boredom!! Period... You really need to find something else to do because your reasoning and the approach for for backing up your lies are far more telling... You are clearly trolling with a false sense of authority with little to no facts like all of us.. Again, you have no superiority over anything anyone post and i firmly considered your public outcry until it got to this point!! All I can say is: When we do get some sort of OFM back rather it's this year or next, I hope you can tell yourself that you're thoughts aren't always good ones! Smh.... I'll leave it at that!
