@sullivanspring_MLBTS
That display is bugged, the capacity and elevation are still where you set it
When the game was first released that wasn't the case. It was home run derby.
I wonder why they haven't fixed the display.
I edited my stadium slightly - added a clock - and saved it but capacity is 16,779,238 and elevation is 42,349 ft.
Elevation is set at 450 ft. Capacity should be 38,803. Is there a way to change that and make it accurate? I'm afraid to duplicate the good one because it might get bugged also.
I understand the frustration for those who would like to see more and here's why I think SDS isn't spending developer resources on it.
I'm a franchise exclusive player. The game used to have year to year saves. It no longer has that and the explanation is not enough people use the feature. I think they are wrong because it's a feature a person only uses one time a year. For stadium creator I create my stadium and I'm done aside from an occasional tweak.
They don't think enough people use the feature for it to deserve developer time. I'll likely skip MLBTS 26 due to no year to year saves and I'm not along among franchise users. Don't want to have to throw away my franchise and start over.
It's frustrating because in the case of Y2Y saves and stadium creator it's doable but they are unlikely to budge.

That's a current view of the ballpark construction. I have no inside information but since they are scheduled to play their home games in the same ballpark as in 2025 my guess is they will play their games in Sutter Park in Sacramento again.
It does seem like it's taking a very long time to build that ballpark. It took about 2 years to build the new ballpark in St Louis. I don't know details of why they moved out of Oakland but they must have had serious issues with the city to play in Sacramento until the new park is ready.

Even better! New lineup logic. Like that was necessary! I actually do play franchise and I don't think this addition has any sort of significance in the slightest.
You thought it was just a new screen.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS
Oh yeah, they changed the lineup screens. Let's throw a party! Seriously, what significant franchise news inclined you to make a third thread?
If you played franchise you would know there are multiple changes impacting franchise including lineup logic - not a new lineup screen. This forum is for franchise users.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS it doesn't matter what forum it's under there's already 2 posts of this so there was no need to make a 3rd post
I have zero interest in anything but franchise and this forum exists to discuss franchise. Thus I posted under the franchise forum in order to discuss the franchise aspects of the upcoming game. Do you have an opinion about the franchise announcements?
The very much self-appointed forum police officer wears a badge that doesn't exist, never has, and frankly for his constant attacks on people should have been shown the door long ago!
My earnest advice is to simply block his account. You'll never see another thing he writes again, as if he doesn't exist. The only reason I saw his rantings is because you quoted him. In short, he isn't worth your time, and of course you had every right to post your OP as you did.
Cheers!
Thanks. I'm not familiar with the personalities who post here. I just enjoy discussing franchise having played it for a very long time. If my post irritate people then just don't reply. It certainly is not my intention. It seems like some people go out of their way to be irritated by insignificant things.
In the past they have announced new features that were poorly implemented. These sound interesting if done right. I refuse to adjust sliders. Getting the game to play right is what developers get paid for. Best case scenario they do this right. With new attributes it's clear there will be no Y2Y saves because current players wouldn't have those new attributes and Y2Y is the reason I skipped MLBTS24. These new features along with new ball dynamics sound promising but I'll wait to hear more before I commit to buying MLB26 and throwing away my current franchise.

Dude there were already two topics about this
Not on the franchise forum.

Intriguing changes to gameplay. It sounds like defense is getting a boost. That's fine so long as the boost offense accordingly.
I play on default sliders in manage mode. Hopefully the do extensive testing to get it right without adjusting sliders.

That's Alex Young. He is left handed. I can't say whether it's limited to the bullpen because the Reds never put him in a game.
I began a thread a couple months ago showing the outfield depth is opposite of what it should be with some players with good power from only one side of the plate.
Now this. What in the wide wide world of sports is a going on here?
@SithLordSlyther_XBL said in My Must-Haves To Purchase MLB The Show 26:
@Jagg1976_MLBTS I agree. That's one of the things I refer to above. I saw that EA's NHL has this option to I believe a total of 48 teams.
Can you imagine the ability to have 48 teams in leagues and divisions we create ourselves? And to combine that with custom stadiums and the custom rosters that we all prefer to use? My gosh, that alone would keep many of us Franchise guys coming back!
With only 7 rounds to the draft how would you sustain a franchise? They would have to change the draft and schedule. I'd prefer two major things. Fix broken progression system and lack of legitimate prospects in the draft. Bring back Y2Y saves.

The only metrics that matter are the ones we can't see.
SDS has the amount of time spent playing each mode somewhere in the server data and that is the only metric that they care about.
It's a pet project. Meanwhile I'm not the only franchise user who doesn't buy the game every year because of lack of attention for the developers.
Not trashing the game. I love it. Just stating the obvious.

With all the potential additions to franchise that are neglected annually why are they spending developer hours on a mode that has miniscule interest.
I am not saying that Franchise doesn't need some love but comparing the forum sections is the wrong way to gauge interest. Storylines provides cards that are used in DD so most discussions about Storylines ends up in the DD sub-forum.
Plus the Storylines sub-forum only has posts from this year, making me think it was a new sub-forum while the Franchise sub-forum has been accumulating posts for, what appears to be, 6 years with messages dating back to 2019
This forum has 47 posts to 1 topic a week ago. 33 in a year?

WBC mode in Franchise or we’ll boycott
Too much work to be done on the base franchise for them to add world baseball classic. I don't boycott but I skip every other year because of no y2y.
Skip is something one does because the game doesn't advance enough each year to justify yearly purchase. Boycott is what is done when customers determine the company isn't giving the game the proper attention.
Each is a choice. But, many of us have now reached the point of concluding that the second option is well called for!
I understand completely. I could go on a long rant about the changes they have made that were poorly implemented but that would do no good. Progression doesn't match scouted projection for draft picks is an example of them implementing something new that is broken from day one. It's frustrating to see that kind of stuff happen when other obvious things like Y2Y never make it in the game but it is what it is.
The blurb about gameplay being overhauled has my attention but there is no way to find whether it's an improvement without buying the game. Without Y2Y that's the only thing that will get me to throw away my franchise and start over.

Cards mainly, but uniforms, stadiums, icons, and sponsorships too. Again, mainly cards.
Not my thing but thanks for the reply.
@howelljake17_MLBTS said in 26 Franchise Mode New Features Discussion:
@sullivanspring_MLBTS definitely agree with only 6 rounds, eventually young depth is hard to find. especially in relievers. I love playing deep into a franchise and im always having to poach prospects from other teams for my minor leagues so I don’t have to sign 35 year old 55 ovr guys to fill out my pitching staffs.
What's strange is when they re-worked the draft they apparently didn't realize the scout projections don't match actual progression in the game. These are the developers assigned to franchise. I don't expect it to be fixed.
