MLB 09 The Show Blog - Franchise Mode Enhancements (Playstation Blog)

Playstation.Blog has just posted their MLB 09 The Show blog, featuring Franchise Mode enhancements.

Quote:
"Hey everyone - MLB FE team here to bring you the first installment of the MLB 09 The Show blogs. For this entry, we’ll be talking about some of the details that have gone into the Franchise mode enhancements.

When we set out this year’s plan, one of our goals was to blow out the personnel aspects of the Franchise experience. Starting with the beginning of spring training, the rosters you will carry into spring will be those of their real-life counterpart, the long awaited 40-man rosters. Now you will have to manage your Spring Training roster a little more carefully to ensure your young players get the looks they need.

Moving on to the regular season, you will now be dealing with many of the various roster-related items all GMs have to deal with. You will be in control of designating players for assignment, waiver transactions, handling Minor League options, and managing your 40-man roster. Once in June, you will have the Amateur Draft to participate in. Along with drafting players, the Amateur Draft also includes Supplemental picks for those teams that failed to re-sign Type A or Type B free agents in the offseason."

Re: Producer Blog: Franchise 2.0

After seeing this, I have been doing research online for arbitration and waivers. This is going to be great. Anyone Philly fans know what Jimmy Rollins contract is? They show a screen shot of it in the blog and I am wondering how close it is to real life?

Re: Producer Blog: Franchise 2.0

Seems like a massive enhancement to the franchise mode in terms of contracts/free agents/arbitration etc.

Looks great.

Looking good. Now you're really going to be in the role of the GM/owner.

Re: Producer Blog: Franchise 2.0

Can we each take turns smacking this guy?

No thanks. I don’t pay $60 every year for the same game with one minor difference.


Anyway, I like there's going to be a handbook in the game to explain all this stuff - I know stuff like 40-man and the draft, but different free agent types and arby are going to take some time to learn.


Love the depth, though! Can't wait to hear more about the game.
