How to Improve Franchise Mode
-
I don't know about everyone on the forum but there are many things that are lacking in this year's edition that I think would be a massive upgrade. In no particular order:
-
Bring back the old trade system but do keep the 4th spot or open it up even more spots but no necessary. This is to include the meter, proposed deals with a team (maybe a live negotiation circa fc games/fifa games), instant deals, and turn untouchable players down to 3.
-
Allow the ability to sign young players to long term deals regardless of service time. Right now having to wait 2 full seasons is worse than years prior needed to have the player have service time and/or on the 40 man roster.
-
Incorporate an international signing window. The draft isn't enough to incorporate players into the game. Have it before arbitration during the off-season ideally as January can be dull otherwise.
Bonus requests
-
Add Low-A to the game so franchise is even more realistic and more space for international signings/draft picks.
-
Non roster spring training invites.
-
Revamp the potential system. By making it a FV system over letter grade, potential is there as a thing to make better decisions developing and low potential but high talent isnt penalized leading to unnecessary attribute lowering because a 80 overall player is a C potential etc
-
More realistic money/cash on hand. Right now saving money on the cap means nothing as it doesn't pool with future available money to splash the cash on players wanted.
Thoughts by anyone? Anything I'm missing? Thanks for your input!

I have several:
Have the ability to trade for cash- that way past due!
The ability to implement paternity/berievment leave
Allow for more players to be injured- the work around is a pain in the [censored]
Go back to instant trades. There's a work around but you have to control all 30 teams
Ricochet's off the backstop with a man on 3rd is unrealistic. You can seldom prevent being thrown out at home.
After checking baseball savant, some of the pitchers pitch selection are inaccurate

I personally would like the ability to choose walk up music and closer entrances like I could back in the ‘00s

I would love nothing better for them to implement a system like FIFA. A real time trade system would be awesome.

Totally agree. In this day and age, players are being signed to long term deals before they play their first game. Furthermore, I suggest we be able to sign any player, to any deal, at any time. Enough of the 14 year deal limits on extensions and 10 year deal limits on edits. If I want to sign Konnor Griffin to a 20 year deal before he plays one MLB game, that should be my prerogative.

I think this is not doable as they incorporate all those regions into the draft. It would require a total overhaul to separate them.

Agreed. A ball right now is useless except for injury reserves.

I’m probably the only one that wants this, but like a manager mode where we are managing the game, choosing different defensive shifts and seeing it from the eyes of the Skipper similar to out of the park baseball and FC26 manager mode watching they tactics play out, So we could have our own custom skipper manage the team or like work our way up from AA to MLB or something like that.
