Do people care about this mode?

Does anyone care about this mode? I’m only asking cause I don’t hear anyone ever say they would die for this mode lol I feel that SDS is giving us the big F U by working on this game mode and not doing anything to Franchise Mode, there just saying thanks for 90 bucks here march to October…

THIS. If MTO wasn’t linked to TA, would anyone play it?
Big fail, SDS.

Amen only reason it gets played
-
I only play it for the trophies.
-
There are how many players that play the show? The is a tiny fraction of that who ever post or even come to this forum. That being said, I wouldn't doubt it if this mode gets played a fair amount. I know my kid enjoys it. I'm sure that it gets played more than people realize it does.
Doesn't change the fact that they have pretty much abandoned franchise and seem to put minimal work into it.
-
I like it. It breaks up the monotony of doing showdowns. People would play it more if it was worth more. I like improvements.
-
I think they are positioning it to become Franchise in the future.
Right now it is in the middle of two very vocal groups, DD players who realize it is not a great way to get rewards and Franchise players who want more depth.
I may give it a go this year. I am waiting for the DD stream first before I make a decision. I kind of feel like I would like to concentrate on other modes for a year and not have all of my play time taken up with the non-stop DD content drops.
-
Actually this mode is more tied to Franchise than DD. It makes for a great starting point for franchise. It gives you various trade options that allow to be carried over into Franchise.
It is also like a scouting mode for those who maybe don't follow the sport as close as others might. In turn giving them a chance to see players in situations they may not have before.
This mode is also great for New players to see how franchise works without flooding them with all the managerial options available in franchise allowing the player to not be overwhelmed. Kinda like the basics of franchise if you will.

I don't even play it for that. I'd rather grind and level cards up in the process. A wasted mode in my books.

I love the idea. I play it, I would like more control of rosters though. I cant play 182 games. So breaking it down like they do. If i could call up who i want and when i want that be awesome

162 full season

I think its fun, to take scrub teams to the WS BUT…….in 22’ it doesn’t work; I’m gettting “authentication” errors falsely, so it’s NOT worth playing anymore!

162 full season
Plus max WC, DS, CS, and WS. 173-182 total with playoffs
I also agree with him. When every game in franchise is 25-0 or 0-25 with 20+ strike outs you get bored after 3 games.

MTO was designed for key games & moments thru out the season that can actually impact a winning streak, ending a losing streak, protecting position place within the standings or taking over a position place within the standing, joining the Elite with pitching a Perfect game or No Hitter, Etc, Etc. All of that is pretty cool. So playing 24 times thru out a season is better then having to play out the full 162 games.
HOWEVER ..... I do feel the games chosen to be played were full 9 inning games, rather then coming into a game already in progress within the 6th Inning or later. This helps when you want to play MTO on All-Star, HOF or even Legend to have more of a challenge, but not be so handicapped coming into a game when you are down by 2 to 3 runs or having to come in pitching with runners already on base. That outcome should not pre-planned or pre-arranged. The game should start from 1st inning & it will be either you or the PC that wins at the end of 9 innings (or extra innings if tied).
Would would be nice as well if once a month, every month you can choose 1 player to bring up & 1 to send down of YOUR OWN CHOICE & "NOT" by who the PC randomly selects as a choice. The same with being able to "Fast Track" a player within the minors. That should be once a month, every month from April to August. But it as well being which minor league player YOU CHOOSE to Fast Track & "NOT" who the PC chooses randomly for us.
Lastly is Off-Season tweaking. I really do like how they added the Off-Season & being able to play multiple seasons. How you gain a players interest & make them offers I feel is good. However what I do NOT like is that any players I had on my team that were at the end of their contract were automatically Free Agents. I never had that time period to deal with them exclusively to see if they would re-sign with me & not become Free Agents. Also with player that are ARB eligible. I should be able to choose if I want to offer them a contract or if I want to go to ARB with them to see if I win/loss the ARB.
All this will bring more of the feel of Franchise within MTO & how it can really impact the following season play of MTO either for better or worse pending how all you transactions went with Trades, Call Ups, ARB court negotiations & Free Agents signing & as well staying within your team budget.

lot of ppl play this. especially if you work and have a family don't don't have the time for a 162 game franchise or DD grind.
-
I find it to be a decent mode for recording videos for YouTube. But as far as actually playing the mode to grind in the game or get xp I find it meh
-
I like it every now and then
