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).
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?
DD is still in the game homie.
I am saying people are still play DD in 2017. Homie.
Last time I tried it took me 10 minutes to find a game.
BUt you still found one.
-
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!

Guy, you do realize that this thread is in General Discussion, and you also have a posted talking about wanting OFM back as well. I am not showing authority over anyone I am expressing my opinion that it is annoying constantly seeing the same people complaining about not having OFM. We understand your upset. I pray they bring back even a small portion of it so you can rest peaceful at night. Holy cow, someone get this man a beer....RELAX.

The comparison sticks because ACTIVISION the owner of COD regardless of the publisher wanted to concentrate on multiplayer and nix anything that could not be monetized. They had to revert back because of the backlash. Yes, the noise is much bigger coming from the COD community because of the number of players but the principle is the same gaming companies are doing away with anything that can not be monetized. Sports games are headed in the same direction as shooters.
What you fail to realize is everything you stated was when SDS was a smaller company. Also if DD had come out like OF with minimal effort put into it the player base would be just as small. OF never took off like DD bc of the of bugs that it had. My honest opinion is SDS is holding out because they fear if OF did come back in its full capacity DD would take a major hit that's why they will probably wait until the game is multiplatform.
The new custom league sounds nice but ill wait to see exactly what it is. If it turns out to be just a mode inside DD where you can only play 1 season then its still a bust.

The comparison sticks because ACTIVISION the owner of COD regardless of the publisher wanted to concentrate on multiplayer and nix anything that could not be monetized. They had to revert back because of the backlash. Yes, the noise is much bigger coming from the COD community because of the number of players but the principle is the same gaming companies are doing away with anything that can not be monetized. Sports games are headed in the same direction as shooters.
What you fail to realize is everything you stated was when SDS was a smaller company. Also if DD had come out like OF with minimal effort put into it the player base would be just as small. OF never took off like DD bc of the of bugs that it had. My honest opinion is SDS is holding out because they fear if OF did come back in its full capacity DD would take a major hit that's why they will probably wait until the game is multiplatform.
The new custom league sounds nice but ill wait to see exactly what it is. If it turns out to be just a mode inside DD where you can only play 1 season then its still a bust.
These game are developed in three year cycles once their current game is out that same dev team is working on the next one. For example, the devs who worked on Modern Warefare (2019) are also currently working on COD 2022. Enough with comparing a sports games small online mode to the entire offline mode of a game like COD. It is a tough comparison.
SDS is nearly the same size as it was in 2017. It hasn't grown dramatically different at all and some reports I just looked up show more employees employed by SDS in 2017 compared to 2019. I would imagine the team will grow come 2020 and on as there will be more platforms and such.
Going to respectful disagree with you that if OF didn't have bugs and was in full capacity it would than lead to DD taking a huge hit. I definitely do think a few more people would play the mode but DD would still be the main mode played by a large amount and you would see the same amount of total games played as years past.
Big things are going to come to MLB 2021 with the multi-platform, I hope they do bring back Online Franchise and a few modes to DD as well.

@STI1489 @Dounte It has been a fun conversation with the both of you. @STI1489 it was great being able to discuss our differences and walk away fine. @Dounte go enjoy a beer.

@cvogsfashow said in Online Franchise:
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 official statement from SDS above (and in one of the 18 pre-release streams I’m sure) wasn’t that there were no plans for its return.
