I've been watching videos of content creators over the last few days. I've reached out to a few of them and may be collaborating with then in effort to bring some attention back to the mode some time after launch so we have all the information possible.
Don't get me wrong I understand DD is the cash cow. Hell I play DD too. But I primarily love franchise. A few simple upgrades is all I want
It's in the game. Confirmed in the switch trailer that shows the menu screen. But probably untouched otherwise.
Like I said I think franchise will be in the game. But I don't see a lot of changes unless the long time franchise players really rattle the cage.
Franchise is in the game. It was confirmed in the Nintendo switch trailer when they showed the menu screen. Unfortunately probably no new updates for it though
This is a glitch that happened to me. Thought I'd share it.
The games home screen was featured briefly in the switch trailer and it looks like there is indeed still a franchise mode. Though I doubt we will get any good upgrades as there is no feature premiere for the mode. I think like you said it may be mixed in with the March to October stream. At least I hope.
There's a long list of things I'd like to see.
A big one for me would be adding all the high and low A roster spots. To clarify I don't need the teams playable (I've seen people shoot this want down because of added statiums and game space for playable games.) I just want the roster spots. Keep only MLB, AAA and AA playable. But instead of only 15 men in reserve (92 total) give me full high and low A squads in reserves (130 total) I know that's a lot of players to have in reserves but just imagine what the people who do the full minors roster could do with that.
I also echo the downloadable draft class would be awesome.
3 team trades and or trade for cash. Although with trade logic I think the CPU would drastically mess this up.
This one is a minor nit pick. But ill ride this train forever. Ability to edit face scanned players hair and facial hair. Example in real life last year Joey Gallo gets traded to NYY yet in my franchise he did not. So SDS removes facial hair. So now in franchise he's just clean shaven on the Rangers. Likewise let's say Bryce Harper gets trades to NYY in fictional franchise. Now he's on NYY with a beard and nothing i can do about it. Again minor nitpic but I want it.
I know we can't do fights anymore (sadly) but some more or different frustration animations would be nice.
Finally the ability to have at least some input on customizing your schedule would be nice. Nothing to drastically I'd be happy even with being able to pick the interleauge teams you face.
There probably more but that's what I got for now
Update: I just finished combing through all free agents and moving the real minor league players back to their teams. Once Ridin V3 is out tomorrow. I'm gonna do a mass import of prospects from that roster to get rid if the remaining fake players on teams rosters. After this I have a little more to do then ill have an update on everything I did and hopefully the rosters will be in the vault sometime this weekend
So I have been trying to start a franchise all month of June. However I'm so nit picky about things I want to do an opening day roster. However every opening day roster I find has "Fake" Shogo on the Reds. Even though I don't play as the Reds this bugged me. I finally found a opening day roster with real Shogo However there were fake A ball players.
Im finally breaking down and building my own roster. I will be using the opening day roster I found as a base. I'll be going over the FA with a fine tooth comb and finding the real players to put back on their teams. I will then use Ridin Rosters to import other real players on to teams and in FA.
Obviously there will be small mishaps. For example Jay Bruce and Hector Rendon who were on opening day roster won't be there.
I will do my best to eliminate all fake and double players.
Thus will take some time. However I think its the only way I'll be happy with my franchise.
I'll upload when I'm done. If anyone Is interested. Also if anyone has some suggestions of other rosters to reference please let me know
I was toying with the idea of doing a franchise thread. However I feel that may be pointless. However last year I did have requests to start streaming a franchise. So I will do that. I'm working on some what of an opening day roster. So that it's a somewhat accurate start. Then I'll start streaming the franchise. (I won't streaming every game, however I'll provide updates of the games played off stream at the beginning of each stream) if you'd like to keep up with the stream please follow BlackEagle2407 on Twitch for the live streams and on YouTube for the archive replays. Hopefully starting the stream on Sunday. Happy Playing Gamers.
That feature is gone this year to my understanding. Because of next gen. Hopefully back next year
@jpeterson32_mlbts said in Vault download issues:
Same issues on xb
Welcome to the struggle my friend
I've been pushing this for years. Really ever since I believe it was Dustin Ackley (I probably spelled that wrong) was on their team
I think stadium creator eats most of that extra data. I could be wrong
Oh I will if I have to for sure. I'm leaving in a few days for a work thing and won't be back til May 21st. If I can't download out of the vault by then I'll spend a few days editing a roster before I jump into franchise
I'm having the same issue. On ps5. I'm hoping this issue is fixed. I can't start my franchise til late may as it is. I'd rather download a good roster than tweak it myself
I'll be doing a franchise thread myself in May. I'd love to follow yours
This will be the only time I post about this in here. If not allowed please delete. Last year it was suggested to me by a few good people at The Show Nation that I should stream my franchise. Well finally a little over a month ago I started streaming. Right now I'm currently streaming other games while I wait for 21 to release. Once April 16th roles around I will be adding MLB 21 to my streaming schedule. However I won't be starting my franchise until late May due to a film gig. Once I start my franchise, it will be accompanied by a more detailed thread in The Show Nations Franchise Community Forum. But like I said this is the one & only time I will post about it in here so that I don't spam you fine folks. So if you want to keep up with my MLB the show & other Twitch endeavors please head on over using the link and hit the follow button. I hope you are all as excited for The Show 21 as I am. Happy Opening Day & Happy Playing Gamers!
*Note: I play all games with 1 hand due to a birth defect so if you are looking for a super good professional gamer I may not be your speed but if your looking for a gamer who is relaxed and not afraid to laugh at himself you may enjoy what I bring to the table.
Yea I get the rights issue. Which Is why I'd take it even as is now with the players just being added to the roster. Even if the teams weren't playable. It's a pipe dream for sure though lol

How would they do it? 75% of the minors are independent, thats a LOT of license fees.
While it would be cool for rtts and franchise, id rather they spend that on legendsHeck, I'd take rounding out the last 40 with fakes then. The game is over due for roster expansion.
I agree. Just open it up to a 130 man roster with fake players at lower levels even. You know someone would make a real roster in the vault.
