Can you change the bullpen placement in stadium creator?
In Customs Teams for Franchise Mode/MTO is there a third uniform now?

@mtcantwe_psn said in Expansion:

One day bring expansion in:

DLC new league configurations. Division sizes and playoff build. I’m crazy, so if the league expanded to 32. I’d do 4 divisions of 8. 12 team playoff. 4 division winners get a bye. Rest of team are all Wild Cards for 3 game series. That would be one of a few options to choose from.
Pre built Minor League team packages. Meaning, you choose a city in this region of the country for your franchise, you can choose from these packages of minor league teams.
Allow a forum to upload computer designed logos. Not a fan of current logo builder. But keep it as an option.
Instead of playing on day one. Allow one season not to play immediately and build the franchise staff then expansion draft.
Make the pre built stadiums for expansion teams, very in depth. MLB stadiums are often so personal to the team. The more you do that the better.
List of 6-8 pre built teams and capabilities to create own. Ability to save multiple uniforms to team history. Could give you the ability to have more than two sets of uniforms?

Again these are just some thoughts. Maybe other people have additional ideas.

Love your ideas, if they could configure what NBA 2K does and add it to MLB the show I think it would be great.

Has anyone seen the new Batman movie? What you guys think?
Still got a few weeks to go before MLB comes out so might as well just kill time talking about other stuff, plus lockout so yeah has anyone seen it yet?

Wondering how we will get our card packs for 22 from playing the tech test?

We spend 30 minutes trying to get into a 3v3 game. This is awful.

30 min is nothing. I’ve been trying since Friday. I haven’t played a 3v3 yet. Horrible SDS.

The new game mode sucks to be honest adds nothing other then frustration, SDS wasted there time with this

IMO Co-op is going to be an impossible mode to play, I only got into a game once because the servers weren’t good, plus my teammates or opponents would quit or disconnect. The only good game I played was with a switch player.. it’s so frustrating to play and I highly doubt I will play this game mode in the future, adds nothing for me and just is a waste of time when people will drop out is servers will crash and all you “hard work” for nothing, just my opinions from playing it through the tech test

If anyone knows wrestling… SDS is like the Vince Russo of the sports gaming industry

@bladimil2k_psn said in Franchise:

NO FRANCHISE, NO MLB THE SHOW. HOW DO YOU THINK OF REMOVING THE WTF FRANCHISE MODE?

I think there will be a franchise mode just untouched obviously

Same thing happened to me, I gave up on the game mode it doesn’t really add anything for me.

I tried to play a game of co-op, both time I never got in. The first being the captain quit and secondly the server just trashed and then I wasn’t able to exit I had to shut down the game and re-open. Anyone else experience this?

@kovz88_psn said in Franchise:

I'm sure Franchise is in the game. With nothing rolling over they probably figured a few DD modes was the easiest to throw out for the test. I do miss the days when franchise was actually a priority in sport games tho.

I know, this is probably the one gaming company that puts it last and there’s EA… In sports the main goal is to with the World Series which can be accomplished in Franchise, you don’t see the real life Dodgers playing for “packs and rewards”

I have been testing pitching, has anyone been able to hit players? Every time I try to they immediately dodge it, is it a bug or will it be fixed, not sure if anyone else has had this experience?

@xothreezus_psn said in pitching needs to be fixed wayyy too OP:

The break is INSANE on some pitches. It's literally unfair. This is going to be a repeat of 21 with 20+ strikeout games being commonplace for good pitchers. I understand that people who only play this game don't have difficulty, but for us casual players we get off the game for a week and can't hit anything. The pitching seems to be even more unfair this year. Slow down the overall pitches (not the mph) and make it so the timing window is easier and requires less reflexes maybe just on lower difficulties. A bigger PCI isn't going to help new players or casuals time their hit.

I think all depends on the game mode your on. I was on Legend and I wasn’t hitting as much, I switched it to dynamic to try and huge difference, you’ll just have to find your sweet spot that’s all

I wonder if they’ve implemented 3 jerseys to customize or if it will still be 2?

Anyone know if they have added a third jersey to create or will they just keep the 2?

You can now get the tech test through PS Store

@pennstatefencer said in Ps, xbox, or nintendo?:

I have a PS4, PS5, Series S, and Switch.

I’m wondering what I should do. I have PS4 currently, but where I live PS5’s are impossible to find but they have XBOX Series S in stock, would you consider buying a Series S over PS5? For myself I would still keep my PS4, I’m just a casual gamer and once I move out I would plan to have 2 gaming consoles regardless.

What’s going to stop other players from just quitting through a game? I’ll be surprised if these games last a full 9 innings vs strangers

@nflman2033_mlbts said in Might as well delete this forum topic:

Honestly Franchise players have no reason to buy every year. I'm still playing 20, mostly because I can't find a ps5.

I am the same as you bud, I was hoping to upgrade with a Series S but only if Franchise has been upgraded. SDS only caters to making money and not satisfying there customers

I don’t want to tell them how to run a company but they should work on fixing existing modes and making sure there 100% before bring in new modes to maintain and fix. I can see issues with Competitive co-op ie: bad network connection, servers or the opposition quitting. They should first fix existing modes and adding to them so they are refined and then roll out plans for new modes, they can also take out March to October and/or combine it with Franchise Mode and make that great again. I’m interested to hear what you all think?
