@SuntLacrimae50 I'm also a franchise guy. sds only focuses on DD. sports titles are moving into online modes instead of focusing on what they were originally made for.
-
@AxeGary99 I'm pretty sure you can edit windups by going to roster, clicking on the player and selecting " edit player". you can change appearence, attributes and personal things like batting stance, stride and windups.

For the first time in years I won't be buying the game. No y2y saves in franchise.
-
There hasn't been y2y saves since it also came out for Xbox

@alstl04 said in Franchise Mode:

Then I guess you haven’t gotten the game since 2020. That was the last one you could carry over your previous franchise.

@BJDUBBYAH
- It would be cool if they keep the stats of minor leagues in the player card for the player's entire career
- I want to be able to customize uniforms and team logo in franchise mode for nintendo switch (it's broken)
- A tab that I can compare batter vs pitcher lifetime stats, maybe in the in game manager tab...that way I can see how my player is doing against a certain pitcher and set up match-ups.
- Instead of pictures of faces on the player's profiles I would like to have baseball cards similar to dd
-
@PhillyDawg3 - I have been saying for years that Franchise and RTTS seriously need to more resemble the 2k MyCareer model.
-
The lineup adjustment and trade logic by the CPU is really messed up.
Has anyone given any serious thought to the selection criteria for the Gold Glove Award? I figured out by what logic the Gold Glove winners were selected. They are simply sorted by fielding rate, and priority is given to teams in the Eastern Division. Isn't it really stupid? If you doubt what I'm saying, check it out. -
NO MONEY SPENT is not what SDS wants.
Money Gouging Gouchers.....
-
But I wish franchise mode compiled and recorded, yearly stats, awards, Allstars appearences. Just like the baseball reference site.
Franchise mode is garbage. Players careers are unrealistic. Their time of service is wack. On the down-slope by 25. Out of the league by 30.
-
out of morbid curiosity what do you want to see them do with Franchise... the only thing I can think is expansion or relocation... can you use created stadiums in Franchise or custom uniforms besides replacing a team with your custom team???
I want to play more Franchise this year as I didn't get to really dig into it last year despite being hyped for the improved drafting.
-
GM/Agent relationships, I want a in game Scott Boras to be a pain in the !@# at free agent time.
Better relocation and expansion, not sure how much I'd use it but after create a stadium those are the obvious next big things.They use to have realignment during the 989 sports era I'd love to see that return.
-
For me, Franchise needs a one pitch/one result option, at least for the manage only mode. This has been a staple of baseball management games since Strat-O-Matic. With a one pitch only option, I could watch the game being played and it would only take a half hour or less. OOTP does this and it makes playing instead of simming more fun.
-
The big-5 sports games don't care about solo-offline seasons. Ultimate Team is their bread and butter, with a story mode as a secondary feature.
The days of franchise and career mode being the big feature are over. I wonder if we'll even have those modes in a decade

@LTG_8719
I am with you, I love Franchise and it's the only reason I play the game and it really does feel like something is left on the table every year.
Personally, this is what I want to see out of Franchise. First and Foremost fix the bugs and give us some ability with sliders to effect progression, regression and other minor tweaks that we can fit the game to our personal preferences. We all know player progression is bugged and low and behold it's still bugged (or bad) 99 ranked players shouldn't fall off to sub 60s in single seasons, but this persists
"Era's" mode. Similar to the NBA 2K feature, simply put I wanna start franchises in past seasons and work my way up to present. Absolutely no reason not to work on this, and if it isn't for you, just skip it. For many of us who have played for generations though, it would be great to replay some of our favorite eras, and it adds some length to your franchises. The real sad thing is many of these players are already in the game in DD, and it's a 1 time addition they can always set it and forget it ever there after, but always adds more dimension to Franchise mode.
Larger trades, better logic for trades and better logic for setting line ups among the CPU. I am really getting tired of watching a 99 Ronald Acuna being benched for the playoffs for... why?! Similarly, I wanna see teams go all in and fire sale harder in season as well.
Expanded Awards screens. It should cover the League history, all of it, or at the very least there should be a data base of everything that is relevant. It's crazy we can only see the past 3 MVPs on a screen with so much empty space.... fill it! Let us celebrate having played many seasons. To be fair, there ARE some improvements here this season, you can see more awards on individual players and stuff, but still the league wide data base is standard in EVERY other sports game. If Madden can tell me who won the first Super Bowl, I am sure SDS can too.
Finally, we really could use some Post Season specific announcing. Not only is there 0 raise in tension, they call Game 7 of the World Series like it's a Spring Training game. The crowd should get louder, there should be a little additional presentation and just even a handful of lines that show tension, instead of them saying this start is sure gonna help his next one on the final game of the season, in the playoffs.
Obviously, I don't speak for everyone, but I imagine anyone franchise lover would find something in there that is an improvement, and could easily skip the features they didn't like. Long Story short, just don't put out an identical product, make some effort to improve a feature that has been standard for decades.

I can’t understand why the instant sim function was removed from the play next game tab, and what happened to the slick post-game replay package that we haven’t had since 20? I’m a simmer who occasionally likes to watch games while I’m doing other things around the house and those replay packages were an outstanding way for me to review the major moments in a game. They gutted it in 21 and now it’s just gone altogether. I don’t understand why good, solid features get axed for no apparent reason.
-
I keep getting the Orioles logo in my franchise but I'm playing as the white sox. Do I delete and re install the game? Anyone know a fix?
-
FIX THE CAMERA IN FRANCHISE MANAGER MODE OR REFUND PEOPLE THEIR MONEY!! How many tickets have to be submitted before you finally pay attention to problems and bugs??
-
Things I would like to see added/changed in franchise mode:
- For the love of God fix regression/progression. It's been broken for years now. Now way guys like max Scherzer and Justin verlander should drop to mid to low 70's overall in year one
- Fix the CPU to CPU trade logic. This is a well known issue that's been broken for years
- fix the CPU AI logic for setting lineups and using the bullpen
- Change how the coaching staff impacts players. Go deeper than +/- on a few ratings. My coaching staff should impact how my players develop. If I have a good farm director, then I should develop minor leaguers faster for example
- Tone down the pitching prospects in the rookie draft. Make more position players good and a few less pitchers. It's way to easy to find pitching in the draft.
- Set prices on tickets, concessions, etc.
-
- Show career minor league stats instead of just the current season
- The ability to realign divisions
- The ability to create expansion teams
- Instead of a generic picture for drafted players show them doing something. Pitchers should be in a windup and position players show be batting or in the field for example
- Get rid of the CP position. Closer is much like the DH. It's a designation not an actual position. Make all CP's RP's. There's no need for me to allocate resources to scouting/drafting CP when you could just lump them in with RP and let me choose my closer which is exactly what I'm gonna do anyways
- The ability to edit the real stadiums. Instead of building one from scratch let me renovate the existing one. If the props are already in the stadium builder then this show be easy to do
- More realistic contracts. Don't know how else to say that just make it better
