SDS not going to add cap and floor until MLB does. I’d rather SDS spend the time and effort to improve CPU trade logic, CPU free agent signing logic, CPU rebuilding team strategy and CPU scouting/draft logic.
What did you think of the free agent system the put in place for MLBTS 25? Only 3 players and interest improves the longer you keep them on the board.
I think the best comparison point is to compare MLB The Show to other sports video games. And SDS firmly loses this comparison. Madden NFL is the most successful sports video game, and when you enter free agency you have every one of the 32 NFL teams listed with their offers. This includes your former team. You get to select the offer you like most and they do vary significantly. You can even re-sign with your original team.
To limit the free agency in MLB The Show to merely three teams is laughably substandard in that measure.
In the coding world, this stuff is easy. There is no reason for SDS to avoid matching their competition in this area other than it isn't their focus.
My issue is it's unrealistic. I've never played March to October but my impression is it's full of gimmicks like this. Limiting me to only 3 free agents at a time and the player's interest increases the longer I keep him on my board is contrived. I suspect whoever came up the the goofy morale system a few years ago came up with this. Keep all that stuff in March to October.

How about SDS just puts all the clips of all announcers this year into the game. You can choose who calls the game and get real audio of them calling a game. (They would have to put in them saying all the legends' names tho) This could be a realistic route to making the announcers less boring
The download file would be bigger than the PS5's hard drive.

@sithlordslyther_MLBTS ur gonna buy the game anyways XD

I’ll start by saying this free agent system is much better than what they had previously, but it still can be improved. It wasn’t realistic to see all the offers and associated player interest level for each free agent in prior versions of the Show. I think bringing back options and back/front loading would be good. I think having a target board of free agents each team is interested in is realistic, although an improvement might be having 3 primary target free agents and 3 secondary target free agents. I think interest level growing each week is a bit contrived, but there is some logic in that if I’m focused only on top end free agents OFs like Tucker and Schwarber, I might miss the chance to sign Grisham. I like that it is realistically harder to sign a top end free agent if my team (Angels) has no hope of winning.
I don’t play Madden, but the Show’s version seems more realistic than all 32 teams offering each free agent a contract on day 1 of free agency. I’m not going to offer a contract to Grisham and have him take a 40 man spot until I’ve heard back from Tucker or Schwarber.

Why wasn't that realistic. MLB general managers are on the phone with agents constantly during the offseason to know where they stand. The new 3 player limit is unrealistic. It reminds me of the morale system which was unrealistic and poorly implemented.

True, GMs are in communication with agents, but an agent’s job is to get their player the most money. If an agent divulges to a GM the best offer they have so far, the GM would only have to slightly exceed it. But what really happens is the agent bluffs what offers they have to see if a GM will match it or better yet exceed it in AAV or years (or both). That’s why I like having other team’s offers hidden. Like real life, I have to guess how much to offer to get the signing over the finish line.
Maybe a better solution than limiting to 3 FAs is I can allocate my time and effort to be spent each week on any FA. I can devote 100% of my time to Tucker…OR…devote 50% of my time to Tucker, 20% to Bregman and split the remaining 30% evenly across 10 other free agents (including minor league FAs).

They have create a player, can I have create a manager/coach? That way manager stats “matter” or do something. And if they still don’t it’d still be cool to be able to make legend coach’s. Also let me hire the sock puppet as a free agent head coach and he heckles the umpires and gets tossed sometimes.

For me its just one thing. Please Stop the bots from controlling the market. It is not difficult to block these things, please spend some money to do so....

@ebbets1957_PSN
Its not bots that are the problem, its the people that outbid you by thousands of stubs and drive up the prices -
@Talkingben9558_XBL Respectfully disagree, Autobots that continually and immediately always bid a stub higher is a problem.

Not my thing but thanks for the reply.

we need connected franchise

I just have one request for me to buy another MLB The Show Game.
Customizable Franchise mode.
I might be in the minority but I want to be able to create my own league with my own teams and be able to customize # of teams, reorder/rename divisions and customize the playoff format.
I still play MLB The Show 23 and don't see a reason to get another game unless this happens.

WBC mode in Franchise or we’ll boycott
