Doesn’t require too much budget (Cheap Fix)
Please bring back the
Online Franchise mode we had from MLB the show 17.
It was a great way to have an online franchise with live rosters that we could play with friends. It gave us the real life simulation of playing an online franchise.
In franchise mode online/offline, please add the ability to shorten the amount of games per season as well as innings per game. If innings are shortened, the Player/coaching AI should be able to realize that 3 innings in a 6 inning game is like the 5th inning in a 9 inning game, to ensure that AI pitchers aren't throwing complete games out there and the bullpen still has work. Simulating games isn’t always fun. I want to play your game and I want to try my best to control the outcome of an entire season no matter the length.
These are old features that were removed. I’m not asking for anything out of budget I hope, these are features that ought to be manageable considering they were once a part of what made this game great.
May require budget (Money Fix)
Add option for batting practice before franchise games and practice bullpen for starting pitchers. This would bring the game to life. We can see the stadium fill up slowly through pregame practice. When I go to a MLB game, there’s nothing else like getting there early to see the things before 1st pitch. Much love to the show and I hope this makes its way to the table for MLB the show 26 for your loyal franchise players that were here long before these new modes! Please don’t forget us!
