@Barfy-Bad-Gas_XBL And then everyone will be complaining about the AI voice mispronouncing their name.

One thing to consider (and it’s a bit of a gamble), if Judge gets long term injured, he’ll be removed from the Live Series roster. His value will likely tumble as he is no longer required to complete the set.
So if you don’t really need him, sell now.

There’s also no tax on quick sales.

If you are looking to sell a low value card, quick sell is often a better option. E.g. a card that you want to sell for 27 will get you a net 24 after tax. Quick sell for 25 gets you the full 25.

Wait till a betting company decides to take bets on the weekend tournaments (they already take bets on other e-gaming events).

The irony of betting on a game with Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe in it!

It’s all about wanting you to pay more real $$$ to keep playing and collecting cards.

I manage to do that by not subscribing to PlayStation + and hence not playing online.

I only play Franchise during the season. When the season is over, I move to Conquest (it’s one of the few offline modes that counts towards program missions). That usually gets me through to Spring Training.

I usually only play for around 90 mins per night.

It also means apart from the initial cost of the game, I pay no extra during the season.

The cards you earn during the season have no value whatsoever once the next version of the game comes out in March.

If the notes are anything to go by, this WONT be fixed in Game Update 11

Now that Pete Rose’s lifetime ban has ended (because he’s dead), perhaps we could stick him in the game too…. Purely for the gamblers amongst us

Too soon?

It’s not ideal, but the only way I seem to get around this bug is sending a pitcher in cold.

Play another 60 years. Surely there's an easter egg where you die on the field

I somehow got Trout when redeeming my Twitch drop packs on Day 1.

Does it come up if you Shazam it?

Looks like a classic case of the Scunthorpe Problem

I would expect there are licencing issues, both with the park itself and the various sponsors around the park, that would cause legal delays. Rays would possibly be more challenging as it would require both Rays and Yankees to sign off on it. There would probably need to be 2 versions of Steinbrenner Field.

It's one thing for a fan to create their own replica that only a few would get to play and would likely be (even if very slightly) inaccurate, as opposed to the game having an official replica of a ground.

It does amuse me though that SF's ground has a giant Coke bottle, yet Atlanta's ground has a generic brand of Coke advertised (Cola-Cola I think it is).

My Wishlist:

1. Ability to disable practice swings. I get a bit trigger happy between pitches and then have to wait for my batter to air-swing before the pitch is started.

2. In Franchise Mode at least, disable the trivia commentary at your home ground after say May/June. I like listening to them, however having played as the Cubs this year, I well and truly know that there was another Wrigley Field when the Angels started in the 60s.

3. Real life wind conditions. When starting a game, let me have the real life wind conditions at the ground I'm playing at.

4. When I start the game, if I've already played today, I don't need to be told again the daily card I won last time I booted up.

5. Fix the Programs so that the "Completed" tag appears on ALL completed programs. At the moment only a few of them show up. I have to use the app to easily see which are at 100%.

6. Metric would be nice for those of us who only really know kms and not miles. Dates with the short month in words rather than numbers. e.g APR 6th instead of 4/6 (which to many international players reads as 4th June).

It's annoying that Franchise Mode doesn't have an automatic "Save & Exit" option when quitting Franchise Mode.
