For the legends, are you able to have them wear their numbers? Or are they blocked out? For example Will Clark #22 is retired now so he probably can’t wear it with SF
I’m a huge Clark fan and weirdly this game must hate him. They still don’t have the 22 up in the retired numbers section of Oracle Park and as of last year players in my franchise were wearing 22 on the Giants. I haven’t gone far enough into the franchise this year to know if anyone will wear it this year.
@DDT21_PSN said in Start Today feature needed!:
This should be a bare minimum in sports games today, especially baseball with so many games. Being able to start a Franchise with current standings and stats would make the mode so much more viable. At least add it to March to October, that’s literally what the mode is about.
Not in franchise. The point of franchise is to assume the role of GM and play out that team from 2025 into the future on your own with zero attachment to real life baseball world.
@fubar2k7_PSN if that is your opinion that is cool, but most people would say what the game looks like is a big part of gameplay quality, especially a game that is largely about the players. I'm with you I want other parts of the gameplay to be better too. I'm just saying I think this aspect of the game is important to a lot of people and it seems like it is being neglected, so it makes sense for people to go after SDS about it. Just wondering, what parts of the gameplay do you think should be better?
I could go on forever but I think foul ball rates are asinine. They’re double real life games. The game has an incredibly high amount of action with 2 outs for the me and the CPU and none with 0 or 1. I play DD and franchise so I don’t play with the sliders but use Dynamic Difficulty. My pitching is out of the 1910s and offense is ridiculous or stagnant depending on what day of the week it is.
There was a time they didn’t do anything with player models at all once the game launched. Clearly before it was out for other consoles so for me this is not important. Pre-existing save files don’t get the updates anyways. They are there for players he named but to get them you have to start a new franchise at each new scan for the younger players or don’t play until all the scans are done.
@bleachfro_MLBTS said in Haven’t started my franchise yet. Anyone else?:
I usually wait a couple weeks after buying the game to start my franchise in hopes that new players will have their models updated. I thought after last weeks update, and all the models added (even though I would’ve loved to see Kristian Campbell), I’d finally be able to start. Then I saw all the glitch place holder faces (Josh H. Smith, Hyeseong Kim, Addison Barger, Spencer Jones, etc). I couldn’t start it looking at those faces lol Then this week comes and goes and none of them are updated.
It’s now June. So, my question is, how many of you franchise people have been holding off on starting and what do you need to see before you start?
I started when the game came out. Everyone got updated except Hyeseong Kim. Which is odd since he had the correct scan in DD on launch.
I probably won’t get the game after this year either. I don’t dislike it as much as you guys. I just don’t see a reason to get it. I got it for the WBC stuff and for Murakami to be in my franchise. Once Pro Spirits comes out I’ll play it much less.
There is a licensing issue here, yes
It’s what he said. I saw another post on this. There was a blanket license that expired and now every manager and coach needs to individually agree to be used.
