Mlb the show is a terrific game with the exception of last names in the franchise mode when you create a player, well they took out a lot of name like for instance Fisk Wakefield Marks, Clemens, e Bree just to name a few. Which makes creating players less fun. Why they did this is beyond me. I think they got lazy.
Apparently the stock rosters are trash as described in this review. Rosters are one of the most important aspects of any sports game and this is like the usual minimum effort you get with franchise mode.

Exactly. They got lazy in audio last names. I was extremely disappointed

Pfffff. Franchise UI is untouched, and more has been done to make MTO (God, I hate that acronym) have a more compelling offseason compared to franchise.
Worried about your feelings? Do something SUBSTANTIAL so we can praise you.
Have they tweaked regression?
Done anything with scouting?
The draft?
Prospect generation?
Any owner mode stuff added?No?
Sigh. But feelings.
You’re confusing the people (with feelings) who are basically told what to work on or find somewhere else to work, with the company (no feelings) that chose not to update franchise mode in meaningful ways.
Our gripes are with the company, not the devs themselves who Nick is defending.
So yeah, feelings.

This is what happens when they are the only company developing an MLB game. Competition would make them worry a little less about "feelings" and be more answerable to the consumers. But, I guess that we're the rubes that keep buying it year after year.

Are you new to the game? Because calling franchise mode terrific when they’ve stripped it bare and virtually ignored it for several years implies you must be.

I have been playing the show since mlb the show 21 since they introduced it to Xbox

I only play franchise mode, but exactly right. The roster is one of the important aspects of any sports game. It needs to feel lifelike. Well for me anyway.

As a longtime Show player, rosters will work themselves out. Remember that the game released before the season, so 40 man rosters weren't even established then, let alone 25. Roster updates happen frequently. It's advisable to run some sim franchises until a roster comes out that you like.
As for playing since 21, you should know that franchise used to be a much fuller experience. Not only have they neglected it the past several years, before that they stripped away all the owner mode stuff that used to be in it. Now they took away year-to-year saves.
It's shameful how dismissive SDS is of franchise mode and its fans. Morale for devs working in franchise -- but honestly, what do they DO?! -- has to be so low...
