Some Offline Fix Ideas

[ZPayne31_PSN]

Okay, so as someone who plays largely offline, I think the Babe program is great. This is the type of thing they haven't done a great job at in years past, so it's so fun to see a card like this available for offline grinding. That said, I think there are a couple learnings/tweaks that could easily be accounted for:

1. There should be some Team Affinity reward for these moments. If coding it so that innings count is too difficult, I don't get why they wouldn't make beating each signature team in these moments worth 5-8 TA points. Then, make beating the division/league teams worth a voucher that can be applied to a team in that division/league.

2. This game mode is all about accumulating cards and building a team. My biggest frustration last year was that the mode was so focused on moments - a mode where you usually didn't get to use your team. These Ruth program moments are great because you actually get to use your squad. Let's extrapolate that idea and create more modes where you can use your team other than just Conquest. I still think a Playoffs mode where you have to lock in a roster of your team would be so fun. Additionally, you could make a version of Showdown where you get to choose between the regular draft or using a team of your actual players (could make caps on team/player overall ratings for the earlier challenges). Plus, if your Showdown roster is picked from your own team, there could be challenges along the way where you have lineup requirements (like 5 Yankees players, use a Giants infielder, etc) that still force you to use a variety of cards.

I think this Ruth program could be a huge building block for offline play and would love to know you guys' thoughts on how to perfect more stuff like this.
