"but I would really REALLY appreciate a way to have the new face scans added to the rosters transfer over to Franchise mode. For example.. would love to have the face scan of Konnor Griffin and Slade Caldwell in my Franchise… but I’d have to completely restart a franchise for that to be the case."

I believe they do show up in an already started franchise. Early on, they updated Pete Crow Armstrong's hair(got rid of the blue stars) and it changed in my franchise. I think all the cosmetic stuff shows, just not the updated ratings.

Also now that brought in the abs, what happened to regular challenges of like the first base call where you got to challenge if you were out or safe. They just completely removed that smh

I just had a challenge at first base. My first one in about 40 or so games. In user settings go the the general tab and there is an option for the umps to make mistakes or get the close calls right every time. Make sure it's set correctly.

"Cade Smith was traded for bad vet contract (71 overall 31 y/o and C potential reliever) and a C level SP prospect in my franchise."

Yikes! The trade logic in this game has always been off.

"Player X value/potential to contract ratio doesn't fit our team" or "Player X doesn't hit lefties and we're looking for a lefty masher" or "our team is looking for more power right now and this player doesn't fit that need despite being a good player". Could even be like, "both of these players are secondary players and we need a headliner to trade X".

I love this!!

Wasn't the last one released a week ago it?

Sorry not sorry.

Man, I'm in the minority but I love the new trade system.
Now I do wish there was a way to opt in/opt out option for people who don't like this new way,
but it feels like its been tailor-made for my benefit.

I am with you on this. I love the waiting game to see if it will go through. I do wish the other team would respond with a counter offer or let you know where the trade stands.

I haven't really paid attention to the lineups, but the bullpen game feature is messed up. In my Cubs franchise, the Angels have been using the bullpen game since opening day. I am only 12 games in but their number 1 Kikuchi pitches, then they seem to skip the next 3 starters and use the bullpen game. When I played against them I noticed it. Their bullpen is wiped out, they are 0-12. I have been checking as my season goes along and it's the same thing.

They also added RF to Shaw as secondary position!

@That70s_Gamer_PSN amazing! Who all was updated? I didn’t see that. And did a new roster update release with it if you know? I’d like to use the most up to date SDS roster!

No new roster update. The players are Ben Brown, Edward Cabrera, Ian Happ, Porter Hodge, James Triantos & Justin Steele

THANK YOU @sds_joek_psn and SDS for listening to us!!! We are grateful! Can’t wait to start my Cubs franchise. Who’s with me?

Fixed times plus 6 new Cubs player updates!

@Nolczyk16_PSN said:

@That70s_Gamer_PSN right there with you … he was in last year’s game wasn’t he? Also still waiting on cubs home game start times to be patched!!!

I believe he was. I am also waiting for the start times to be patched. If they don't address it in the next patch I may just start one anyway. The times are correct in the 2027 season.

I noticed the Cubs pitching coach Tommy Hottovy is missing. Not a deal breaker, but it's nice to have the real coaches.

I like Boog, Singleton is terrible.

Sometimes it freezes on me in Diamond Dynasty menus

Oh ok, thanks. I didn't realize it was an April fools thing

Just played Common Courtesy program. First one was Kerry Wood. In the description it says Kerry Wood doesn't have it today, give up a run without striking anyone out. Then below that where it tells you what you have to do it says:
1-Do not give up a run
2-Strike out batter.
First playthrough, I strike the first batter out and it fails. Second playthrough, batter grounds out to first and it's complete. Which directions do we follow?
Am I missing something? The description in all of them say one thing, but the list of tasks is the opposite? So dumb!

Cubs playing afternoon games is one reason why I could NEVER be a Cubs fan. Why would I root for a team whose games are always being played when I'm at work in the middle of the afternoon, and never get to see them play? Seems like a really dumb start time to me.

They play in the middle of a neighborhood. They are only allowed a certain amount of night games. A city ordinance allows 35 night games.

I also see that line.

Must be an Xbox thing, I have had zero crashes on PS5

First thing I do is turn all of them off.
