A lot of people are frustrated because there is no transparency about how scans are sent released. Some feel SDS is slowly releasing scans and some feel it’s happening as the season progresses. Transparency might help limit these posts. Is it that difficult for SDS to come out with a statement surrounding this? Also, for people truly upset with lack of transparency or the lack of scans, they should submit a ticket.

It seems to be a prioritization of roster updates for Franchise mode. A lot of DD players were upset and thinking this leaves them out - but I don't think that's the case. I think it's simply that Franchise will receive more updates on the roster related to how players perform and move throughout the season. Almost what they have been doing for at least the last 5 years. It's vague and doesn't deliver much promise but maybe a good faith attempt to show Franchise player's they're thinking of them.

Completely unrelated - I really enjoy the player models in the game and the realism it delivers - I wrote to SDS asking for transparency on this topic. I also asked them to allow our FaceScans of ourselves to be merged into Franchise mode with our created player and at the very least, they give a lot of DD cards to 25-40 man roster players, so it would be nice in Franchise mode they do the same. Not like the super fancy, gotta grind for it DD cards, but the one's where it's a portrait of a player on their current team. So if Dylan Beavers for example doesn't have a genuine FaceScan, at least when people click on his card, it shows a picture of him. Same with starting pitchers such as Chase Burns, in the load matchup screen. It could be a simple addition to next years game and I may only be speaking for myself but I think a lot of other players of Franchise mode would appreciate it and the realism that it lends to the game.

What about FaceScans for some of the newly drafted players? They did that last year for some of them and that was really cool (Bazzana, Seager King, etc). Does anyone remember what time of year they did that and if there has been announcement of it being a possibility again?

Can you actually switch pitch with him?

Any update on new player models with the roster update? Sometimes they sneak them in there
