The team that works on franchise really needs to revamp the salary demands for free agents, not only because it lacks realism but also because franchise mode needs to be more difficult from a budgeting perspective. It’s already too easy to rob the AI on trades, so at least make it so I can’t go on a spending spree because guys like Alonso are fine with 10m a year, and an ace like Snell will settle for 15m. It’s wack.

I feel like few people talk about this, but The Show used to have the slickest post-game replay/highlight package that gave you an awesome summary of the major moments in a game, including captions that told you the inning the play happened and what impact it had on the score. That package was badly gutted in 21 and now the theatrical game highlights appear to be gone altogether. Sad.

You have to manually cut your MLB roster to exactly 26 before starting the regular season. Do this right after the final Spring Training game but before initializing the start of the regular season. Your big league roster will be exactly how you want it to be.
