@DaboiNoah you can turn injuries to manual when that happens and undo the injuries. And then turn injuries back on

To add to my comment above: the best BEST way to play franchise is dynamic difficulty, classic pitching, and timing hitting. (And buttons throwing). True test of patience and every attribute matters on the players.
My pitching bounces between Legend and Legend+ and my hitting bounces between Hall of Fame, HoF+, and Legend. Gotten to Legend+ hitting maybe once or twice with timing hitting but it QUICKLY falls back down when I get shut down at the plate lol.

Word word bro I appreciate it you explained it pretty [censored] well so I’ll give it a try. Seems like that’s what I’m probably looking

Awesome. Glad I could help. I think you’ll love all star+. And if you do love it and never want it to change once it gets there, you can lower the slider setting for dynamic difficulty sensitivity all the way down and it’ll stay there.
Only issue is it lowers the xp you earn if you do play DD on the side.

Wish they’d come up with a way for xp to stay at the normal rate when adjusting dynamic difficulty sensitivity, gameplays/simulation injury frequency, and trade frequency…but that’s a topic for another day lol

As someone who played nothing but Franchise forever until maybe MLB 18 or 19, (whichever one had the immortals), I loved DD and got engulfed in it that year. Played it every year up until this year but always found myself not playing the game anymore after the all star break. The 99 overalls ruin it for me every year. There’s too many and it ends up being too much to grind for and when you work, you fall behind and don’t feel like grinding for it every single day anymore.
When MTO was introduced a couple years ago, I loved that, plus it helped earn rewards towards DD. Only issue I had with that mode was that the trades were always pretty unrealistic.
So this year I’ve hopped back to Franchise exclusively again. Played maybe 5 games in DD and that’s it. Almost to the postseason in a franchise that I plan on starting over anyway when the rosters get one or two more updates. So I’m treating this one like just “one season mode” instead.
Someone else said it perfectly, STATS. I love seeing the season long stats play out. Sometimes I try to play all 162 but I find the most fun I have is when I play one, sim two, play one, sim two. Etc etc etc. allows me to play with every starter and a different one every five games. And I get to influence those season long stats even just a little bit meanwhile, 2/3 of the season are those oh so satisfying sim stats that every franchise guy loves. I use to always start one, usually play it through as far as I could before the rosters got really good after a handful of updates, then start a new one and really dedicate myself to it as much as possible. DD took that away from me for about 4 years and burned me out by the all star break and it bummed me out because I love baseball. Franchise mode and stats have reignited my love for this game again.
Also, dynamic difficulty is the greatest thing to ever exist in sports video games. Every game is a new experience when you play on dynamic. Don’t even have to touch the sliders. Leave em on default and play dynamic and the stats are just so pure.

So what does dynamic difficulty exactly do ? I currently have been playing on All star for couple of years and just a few days ago switched to hall of fame I feel like I needed that next step a little bit more of a challenge. The only thing I feel is All star has been great tough games here and there and I feel like I get a good amount of hits and home runs but then since playing hall of fame I feel like I get hits when their perfect they’re always seem to go to a fielder and I feel like home runs aren’t easy…. Long story short I feel like I’m looking for something in between both

Dynamic will give you exactly what you’re looking for. It’ll probably start out really easy cause I think it only prompts you the first time you load up the game what you want your dynamic to start on but just play 1-2 quick play games and it’ll be up to all star in no time and you can jump back into franchise. What it does is basically balance itself for you. When you’re raking, it’ll start to climb towards the next difficulty. When you’re struggling, it slowly regresses. Once it gets to a point where you’re hitting or pitching well above or well below the difficulty, it’ll will jump to the next level.
The best part about it is that is has “+” levels.
So say you get it all star, the next level up is “all star+”
You get through that THEN it’ll go to Hall of Fame. And it has that “+” level for every difficulty along the way.
Truly the best way to play the game. Allows for some good streaky-ness which baseball is always known for.

I’ve had wind every game I’ve played offline

I really wish the regression wasn’t so SHARP in this game. Soon as guys turn 33 in this game, their attributes start absolutely tanking, even if their potential is still an A or B. Really needs to be fixed to make multi-year franchises really fun again. Probably my biggest gripe so far this year. At the end of August, guys like Freeman, Muncy, Darvish, Crawford, Blackmon, Verlander, Scherzer, Goldschmidt, deGrom, etc etc etc.
All these guys have lost anywhere between 5 - 15 points off their attributes in my franchise mode 128 games through the season. And they’re all A or B potential but the game is acting like they’re 45 years old. Slow down the regression for these guys with A or B potential so they’re actually worth something in Free Agency or at the very least a full first season in the mode lol.
Verlander and Scherzer are on the verge of being in the 70s overall by the end of the first season. deGrom is about to be in the 80s. And they all have A potential and we know they aren’t going to regress like the in real life that quickly. It’s outrageous.

@xX_1w1NgAnGeL_xX_PSN said in ????:

The fact that its with live series players makes it totally yucky. If they had different divisions where the diamond dynasty type versions would be available would make it worth it. “All time” teams, legends only, something….

I am in no way interested in batting with some 50 rated minor league bus jockey - - the game just plays better and is more fun the higher rated your players are.

One year or maybe this was a different game you could have rookie versions of legends be in your draft classes so you could develop those and sort of grind your way up but it takes a lot of seasons - - this may be an NBA 2k thing but is a good idea to add some depth

I think that’s what separates the hardcore franchise guys from the ones who really just want a fantasy mode. Us hardcore guys love batting with those 55 overall guys we had to call up due to injury or some other reason lol. What makes it “real” for us. Seeing them develop is the best part of going through multiple years

Negative

If you turn on “GM Contracts” at the start of creating a franchise (after picking your initial team), you can hop around to different teams every three years I believe.

Can’t find the report an issue page anymore but:
Have had three crashes in Franchise so far. All three instances occurred a couple innings after starting a game where I set the CPU uniforms to alternate but changed pants, jersey, or other. For example: Twins alternate road uni’s aren’t white pants. They’re the dark navy tops with the gray pinstripe pants. Not the white pants in the default alternate road uni. And when switching the pants, the game has crashed twice. Left them in the default road uniforms, all grey pinstripes, and it hasn’t crashed. Not the only instance of this either. Some teams alternate road uni’s includes their home pants for some reason and when trying to switch it, it has crashed three times.

Played a quick RTTS game and took 6 ab's. Got 11 stubs. Seems about normal from what I remember in RTTS quick games. But I'd love for that many right now after an event game.

No way. Not even close. I never have players in the market selling cause I don't play the market very much at all. The stub amount was always about a third or half the amount of xp. Now it's literally ZERO? Or three? Or 16? There's no rhyme or reason. That's not normal at all. Hasn't been that way all year.

It was never that high, idk what you have been seeing, that means in a ranked season game it would be something like 400-800 stubs per game which was never a thing

So earning 0 stubs is normal for a three inning game? What's the point of playing then all of a sudden? It was literally from one game to the next this afternoon. Earning over a hundred to literally nothing a bunch of games afterwards. I've never earned 0 stubs after any amount of innings all year and now all of a sudden that's a thing?

No earning 0 stubs is not normal, but neither is getting a third or half of xp in stubs, because that was never a thing

So what kind of nonsense have I ran into all of sudden then? How do I go from not playing the market at all, just completing programs and saving up stubs to over 560k to not earning any stubs for gameplay in one afternoon?

The real question you should be asking yourself is what is the nonsense you've been getting all year, because it's never been a thing

Maybe some program rewards or something? But how can you ignore the fact I'm literally getting zero now? How much do you get at the end of a three inning game?

I'm not ignoring it, I'm not a developer, I'm a random person on the internet, how do you expect me to answer why you aren't getting any? And I'd say somewhere between 20-40ish is normal for me on three inning games

Felt like you were hung up on the fact I said a third or half but I'm more hung up on the fact that I've had zero stubs pop up twice now and three stubs pop up once. That's a scam.

Daily cap on stubs? lmao

My bad. As user said above for a normal game you don't make many you must have been seeing your transactions from flipping assuming you were making out in the game I've seen 50,000 stubs but that's not what I made that's just the market transactios.

Like I said before, I don't flip cards in the market. I don't get much time to play so when I do I don't spend it playing the market. This just seems so sudden. I legit can't think of an explanation for it. Getting robbed right in my face though not earning a single stub for gameplay anymore. I just earned three stubs after an event game... and zero the game before that. and a bunch of zeros and single digit numbers the handful of games before that.
