I believe the best you can do is find an editable player (perhaps one that is manufactured by the game or a journey man who is no longer on a team) and edit the player to emulate the one you would like to add to your franchise. Like you, I’ve been playing franchise on MLB the show for years and have looked for ways to import players several times. Unfortunately, this is not possible as much as I would like it to be.

You can still turn on manual injuries. It is located in settings > RULES > injuries > scroll to manual.

Try GOAT pitching difficulty, this is why they added it. It makes pitching far more difficult and you can still strike guys out. The foul balls can get a little ridiculous and the CPU doesn’t walk enough, but I’m in the bottom half in the league in ERA, which I love because I’ve led the league in the stat every year for as long as I can remember, until now.

An update that updated the playoff format, the day of the draft, and removed September roster restrictions would be appreciated by a significant percentage of the community as well add to the value of this years game.

I am struggling with this issue as well now that I have entered September in my franchise. I have found a workaround, although it is an inconvenient, time consuming, multistep process. Put the player you want to DFA on the 60-day injury list, reduce the players overall rating so that it is the lowest the the teams 40 man roster, make sure you replace the player on the 40 man roster and that it is full, reactive the player you injured and sim to the next day. The AI will automatically DFA the player with the lowest OVR. It would be nice if SDS would fix this, I imagine it’s left over from when the roster expansions allowed for a ridiculous amount of players, another incomplete “fix”. SDS, do you have any input on fixing this issue?

Same here. As a franchise player, and after the 21 disaster, there’s no point in buying 22 if I am going to lose my progress anyway.
