Make leagues/Online Franchise great again!

Still waiting on the "online franchise mode" DLC to drop. Take my money.

This is just an idea of course.. aside from the many others posted above.. we should be able to access the leagues through the MLB companion app. Obviously cant play games. Seems like something that can be done since the companion app has all the players. Of course, just an idea for future MLB games.

@bioleonTW_XBL Tested, didn't really see a difference. Will keep you posted.

This has been hands down the most disappointing baseball game released since 2018. What's more sad is this game is literally a copy and paste from 23 with a color change for the menus AND ITS STILL HORRID.

Since we are on the topic of issues for custom leagues, can we please fix the following issue (I dont believe anyone has mentioned this):

When in playoffs, only home teams that play in a dome can change the time of day. If you are playing at home somewhere like NYY, it is defaulted to a day game. We should be able to just select the time always, just like we do in the regular season. This is only an issue in playoffs for teams who do not have a dome. @Victor_SDS_PSN

Thanks again @Victor_SDS_PSN . Also just throwing this out there if Online Franchise isn't in the foreseeable future, I am sure hundreds if not thousands of us would pay for a standalone version of Online Franchise as a DLC.. just an idea if its not in the game for 25.

@Victor_SDS_PSN I apologize, I had misread the announcement for custom leagues. The update did work, it allows us to enter game management when current games are being played. Thank you!

Anyways, to clarify on the sims. I tried simming games vs other users, vs cpu, cpu vs cpu, random winning, stats and no stats, multiple leagues and same error. I also create a new league to test and same issue. This update to did help leagues at all.

I think it’s more of a collective effort, lots of different people who exclusively play leagues and spend countless hours year round trying to enjoy a game mode that is clearly bugged. We all know for sure that if DD had these issues then they wouldn’t have even released the game on time.

@MLBNETWORK365 the update didnt work anyways, tried it in 3 different leagues using every way possible to sim.

@Victor_SDS_PSN Update to sim CPU game did not work.

CURRENT ISSUES with Custom Leagues:

Users cannot select their Uniforms
We cannot SIM games & so therefore, we aren't able to advance from regular season into playoffs
Cannot reset games as Game management is impossible to get into
Message Board traffic creates slow loading times (there should be a way to clear the board or make it automatically reset every other week or something like that)
Teams Stats are no longer working
Could no longer ask for a timeout when hitting
Stats for players sometimes disappear mid game.

PS. Bring Back ONLINE FRANCHISE!
