I do hope the format of mlb 17 would come back. Or at least something close

Looks like it didn’t get addressed...still can’t play

I guess the only way we’re going to know now is to wait two hours and fire up the game. Doesn’t look like there are new features for Leagues. Could have been features removed though. That seems to be the thing.

Yeah guess we will see....at this point I’m just hoping for same options we had last year....

Well the good news is there doesn’t appear to have been anything removed from Leagues! Nothing new though.

Was really hoping for League management tools outside of the console.

We had this happen in two separate leagues. Both times, the commissioner had said no to generating stats on Force Wins (this seems to be the source of the problem).
In another league, we had been generating stats and the seeding was perfect.

In its previous form, it wasn't sustainable, so it was scrapped for 18. This is known. It would have needed to be rebuilt from scratch. The place to start is a platform that can be leveraged across multiple modes, that makes expanding each of those modes much more possible. With the custom leagues we are offered in 20 (whatever that will be) this is the beginning of that rebuild.

There's no point rebuilding OFM as its own standalone thing, it would require a massive amount of resources for limited (financial and games played) reward.

It will return, and in a tighter, leaner, more user-friendly, server-friendly and developer-friendly form. We just need to accept that it will be incremental. SDS will be keeping an eye on quantitative data (which game modes are played) and also qualitative feedback (forums) to make the decisions on how much is jammed into each increment. I'm guessing 21 is going to be the year we see something that resembles 'Online Franchise' again.

EDIT: Why incremental? Much easier to detect and fix problems when there's less things to test. Bed down the things that work in 20, add to it in 21. Rinse and repeat.

This what I'm talking about... As much sense as you TRIED to make ( merely an outside looking in DD fan with ill intent to discredit the ONLINE FRANCHISE crowd in order to make others believe that resources would be taken away and or the fans won't give the mode the time of day.. ) with this post, you failed... Miserably!! ONLINE FRANCHISE MODE has been rebranded and called " ONLINE LEAGUES " and I'd be willing to bet that they're will be more options than before.. NEXT GEN " ONLINE LEAGUES "??? Yeah, you can bet they'll be much much more to come as far as FRANCHISE goes.. Sorry, but you sir were dead wrong!

Thanks for the eval, but I don’t play DD modes. Played some extra innings games in 15 and finished the original Conquest map in 17 but nothing since.

All I play now is Franchise, RTTS and M2O. I’m all for Online Franchise’s return, the only reasons I never played the mode previously were that I had a dodgy internet connection and the way it was setup was laborious. I discredit nobody. Well, on the old forum I discredited DD quite a bit, but now I discredit nobody. The sooner we can all live harmoniously without the us vs them mentality the sooner the game will progress for the benefit of all players.

So to quote a fellow non-DD user, ‘Sorry, but you sir were dead wrong!’

Yeah ok buddy.. Whatever you say.. You're clearly backtracking your statement but it's fine. Far from being stupid! ......

At the end of the day, IT'S BACK!!! I know where I stood from the day they released that letter back in 2017 and I've had many conversations with guys like your self who've said the same thing.. The ONLINE FRANCHISE COMMUNITY always knew that guys like you would all sit at one table and EAT YOUR WORDS!! Now look at you... Boom!!

You don't know for sure if it is truly back back. Probably closer to a seasons mode than a franchise mode.
Don't know why I even entertain people on forums like this.... The sad thing about it is that they'll continue to argue their point when a blind pig could see the truth or history in all!

Again, it's just those that have no life whatsoever and those that feel some form of entitlement when it comes to how games should be developed! Those are the ones that kill games.. This generation of gaming sucked because companies listened to these idiots... But that's over with now.. The hardcore try harders reign superiority once again.. Lol!! Who has the last laugh now..

I think Dante needs to ease up on the Wheaties.
You probably need to keep my name out your mouth..

You probably need to take something else out of your mouth.

Yep... You've pretty much summed it all up for majority of the GUMPS that post here

Lmao @ there NOT being an FANTASY DRAFT!! 😂 Kick rocks.. Don't get mad at me for it!😂
