MLB: The Show 16 Franchise mode expectations

[CrimsionXBL]

(Now I'm not sure where else to discuss this, so forgive me if this is a waste of a thread mods!)

With just a little under a week to go until we get to dive a little bit deeper into the Franchise aspect of things, what are you hoping to see implemented into the mode this year?

For me, I'm a huge Online Franchise guy, it's come to a point where I really don't feel as "engaged" into a franchise when I'm not able to play and compare alongside my friends. Last year was a little disappointing to say the least (aside from the mode being unplayable for the first little while) with some key components missing.

Most notably I would like to see the following integrated into Online Franchise:

- Stamina for position players
- A rotating schedule (last year it was static and did not change when a team would switch divisions)
- The new player morale system
- The removal of the "Opening Day" patch from each and every game all season long

What are you hoping will be included in this year's mode?

In-Season contract extensions

More franchise relevant broadcast commentary

Spring Training Invites

Ability to edit mangers/coaches

Trade Slider - already confirmed

I haven't seen it but I'd like the durability rating split into a separate injury rating. So a guy like Tulo may play 9-10 games if not injured but he's got like a 45% chance of getting injured at a given time.

I'm excited to see this Inside Edge stuff and how its integrated.

I'm hopeful they intertwine MLB Network!

This needs to be implemented, but when they showed the attributes in the streams all I saw was the normal durability rating:/

The inside edge, they said, is only for DD no franchise for this year. Hopefully next year.

Re: MLB: The Show 16 Franchise mode expectations

I can't say I expect the following but I will say I'm hoping for the day they do happen. 1)Ability to edit service time. 2)Ability to edit coach & mgr. names. 3)Custom divisions & leagues, as well as the ability to play a season with 16 teams total, 20 teams total & 24 teams total. 4)Edit hot zones. I don't want everything, just the world. And the sun. And the moon.

My number one thing is non roster invites to camp. That'd be so awesome.

I would love a robust website and app...something like a fantasy baseball site/app where you can offer trades, drop/add players, set your line up, make roster moves, approve trades, create schedules, etc.

Ramone shot that down already for this year. That would be a great feature though.

I'd LOVE to be able to edit hot/cold zones.

Re: MLB: The Show 16 Franchise mode expectations

Agree I want online franchise and offline the same. I understand minor league games not being in but everything else should.

Everything the OP posted regarding online.

Ability to edit service time.

Second.

Roster editing is SO much more cumbersome than it has to be. More powerful roster management tools could shave months off the time it takes to complete a roster. Global edits, ability to swap out entire teams...these could allow multiple people to simultaneously work on a single roster. And, of course, the ability to transfer rosters over to the next version would be the ultimate breakthrough.

I'd prefer a windows-based editor that could be used to directly edit roster files.

Re: MLB: The Show 16 Franchise mode expectations

i would just like scouting to be actually useful this year. in 15 there basically was no point to send scouts out to find new players because they were all junk except maybe a few gems but they were difficult to find. while it is basically true in real life, i want to be able to draft a good player who could be ready for the big leagues in a season or 2 not wait 5+ before they are actually useful in the show.

Yea the 5 and 6 year eta's are ridiculous unless they are under 18

Would be absolutely incredible. I'm hoping for this as well.

Re: MLB: The Show 16 Franchise mode expectations

They said that they have worked a lot on franchise but I'm not hoping for anything since I don't want to get my hopes up. Just going to watch the video that's released Tuesday and then tune into the stream on Thursday. So far though I like what I've heard about franchise mode.
