I am curious how making a post of my opinion is considered falling. If you look at the game says about 21 franchise mode really is pretty much unchanged. There's really not much anything beside year to year beside roster update. That really changes the mode. Okay? Oh Tony ule that hasn't been fixed until the last year but still oh Tony has been in the game MLB level for at least 5 or 6 years professionally. So why did it take them so long to fix that one issue with the game itself?

Road to the show is still the same from 24 to even 21 or even prior in 20 you still create your player. You still play the showcase event from before. In this current year you still play three or four games. They do not do it in 23 but now it's when he fully did it where you can also play as a girl. But still it's the same showcase event from years ago where you would have the pregame BP hitting you do the fielding and then you play three games, get evaluated and get drafted. That's really not changed at all..

I play online diamond dynasty just because it's a better mix of value for the game. You can have a team full of 99 players or you could run a team of All-Stars or MVPs different cards for different players. You get so much more diversity in the game itself than just playing a franchise

This is where the game code gets it a bit wrong. Normally, draft picks start off their first year in rookie ball or class A. However, a few collegiate draft picks can start in AA, AAA, and once in a blue moon, actually join the MLB team right after the draft. Of course, that ultimate move requires putting that draftee on your 40-man roster and that means removing a player who was on that roster. This normally involves putting that player on the waiver wire, another reason it's rarely done.

The game code puts your draft picks below class AA, which is why they don't appear on your roster in Franchise, which only goes down to your high A "team," but isn't even modeled in the game. Since you are limited to just 93 players total on your roster, and you MLB, AAA, and AA clubs are normally limited to 26 players, it means there are only a max of 15 players in your "Class A team," which again isn't a team, but instead an arbitrary repository where your excess players are kept.

Truth is, each MLB team has two Class A affiliates (high A and low A), and each have 26 man rosters. Teams also have rookie league teams. These are more or less scrimmage leagues akin to spring training setups where games are played for training and evaluation purposes and the results of the game aren't really important.

If Franchise were set up with two Class A teams added to the current AA and AAA teams, then each MLB franchise would have a total roster size of 130 players -- 26 each at MLB, AAA, AA, high A, and low A. For whatever reason, SDS chose to model the game with half the MiLB teams missing and decided on 93 players for each roster just to have enough filler material to manage the AA team.

If the game was fully modeled, your draft picks would be assigned to low A by default, and you would have to release players from your low A team to keep the roster size at 26. Instead, SDS modeled the draft where the players go into some void and next year are in your 93 player roster, assigned by default to A level.

Where do you get a picture?
