That would be me. I played a madden series on my channel and a Fifa series and I cannot stomach how bad those have gone downhill. All because of online gambling disguised as customized teams

Only reason I am playing MLB 22 is because it comes free with XBox game pass but I will probably be very disappointed @Ghostie619_PSN

Since you have 0 plans for Franchise and are putting all your eggs into cross platform (except PC of course, ugh) for Diamond Dynasty $$$ then just focus on that and stop giving Franchise players hope

No news on CPU trade logic, better drafts, better progression and regression or Franchise customization then this is just a forgotten part of the game since MLB the Show 16

Seeing the MTO video, one of the bright spots was seeing a 6 man rotation and 4 man rotation

Can we select that or is 6 man only for Spring Training and 4 man only for playoffs?

Also, are playoffs customized for Franchise? I am 1000% against the new playoff format and would like to have a 1 wildcard and 3 division leader playoff...or even better, change the divisions to be just East and West and have ALCS/NLCS then World Series.

Lastly, is Interleague fixed so we don't play the same teams? Even better...can we choose a schedule with NO interleague?

better trade logic and roster Mgmt. Just because a team has a poor LF, they might have a player that can play LF who is behind, say, the starting 2B. Why not have the AI move that player to LF?

If a team is rebuilding why are they trading prospects for 28 yr old players?

Where is the international draft?

Why don't free agents decrease their demand in August?

Why doesn't the AI grab position players off the waiver wire like it does pitchers?

Why don't we still have 4 tiers (I'd be happy with High A) of baseball with rookie league or Low A as placeholder non playable leagues yet?

and @BlackEagle2407 I am with you on face customization plus the [censored] equipment & cleats being in team colors by default is a pain in the [censored] to change all the time

My main thing though is League customization. I don't want Universal DH, I don't want 3 batter RP rule. I don't want Instant replay. I WANT a league with less HRs/Ks and walks and more balls into play and more steals and triples. I want to relocate teams and make the AL and NL a 2 division league with NO interleague schedule and only a NLCS/ALCS and then World Series. I cannot get that

I also want to see player splits easier. All I see is Batting average and HRs vs right and left, no OPS, no BB, no Ks
I want to see how my players have done against pitchers and batters historically over the course of the season for the upcoming series
I want team records, I want more league records. I want to choose if I am only using modern day records or since the beginning of time
I want better attributes, Candelerio of the Tigers has doubles power, maybe a player like David Peralta hits triples but doesn't steal bases, you cannot manipulate that
I want customizable managers and coaches and I want Manager/Bench/1B/3B/Pitching/Hitting and be able to hire them away from other teams
I want retired players coming in as coaches and working their way up through the minors
I want downloadable draft classes and easier ways to edit rosters

and dammit I want a PC version!

This is what happens when there is no competition. They are going down the road of Madden which is a disappointment to 10% of the fanbase but billions to the development team via online transactions

SdS needs customization for Franchise mode

ability to have random schedule With or without interleague
Expansion teams
relocation
Division and league realignment
No DH or standard ALL DH rules
NO 3 batter face rule for RP
Keep shifts in game, default is to have them off but you can enable if you want them
Better sliders so you can have a more hits, less Ks, less walks, more SBs more triples type of league
