Online Franchise

Re: Online Franchise

i know nothing about making video games but i bet that online franchise uses a ton of space on the servers and that's just for a franchise to be created let alone whether people are actually playing them. we all know that people create multiple online franchises and then someone cheats and the league falls apart but the league never gets deleted where as these new modes people can come and go without any commitment to a league. plus they need to make money. i just hope they find a way to fix online period to make it smooth. i haven't played since 14 and my connection was not top notch but compared to my other games i played online it was noticeably inferior. i did however move to a bigger city and the internet company from where i am from is a joke so i may get back into online.

If the server space was truly an issue I feel as if they would have pulled the plug and taken it out completely instead of keeping the mode in and not touching it, which gives me the smallest bit of hope when it comes to improvements next year.

As far as online play goes (since you haven't played sin 14) I'd say it's about 200x better than the online experience 14 had to offer, so you'll have no problems when it comes to that in 16.

Exactly. And although get online play improved from 14 to 15. We can all assume that was mainly for the advancement of DD

Re: Online Franchise

It's a sweet deal for Sony.

They get paid once when you buy the right to play online and a second time when you buy the broken online version of their game that they won't fix because you don't play it.

Talk about having your cake.

Re: Online Franchise

Guys, I didn't get the game till very late last year, and didn't play online franchise at all. I really enjoyed exhibition rated match ups. I'm getting game on release date this year, and I was looking forward to playing OnLine franchise this year. What is so bad about it?

There have been quite a few bugs that have plagued the mode over the years that have remained untouched, users find themselves:

- not able to advance to playoffs at the end of the season
- having players disappear at the end of the season due to a post season injury
- Ace starters get stuck starting every simmed game, resulting in 30 games played real quick, while the #2 plays 2.

Not to mention that it's a bare bones mode compared to offline franchise.

- No position player stamina
- Player Morale is absent
- Injuries do not happen to the CPU unless you are playing them yourself, even then they are few and far between
- CPU players find themselves playing all 162 games

& more, I'm sure I'm missing out on some key points here, but this is all I can remember right now, this early

What do you mean by opening day every day? Also, if they are just bugs, what makes you think that they will remain in the new version?

On the field paint and in the opening monologue of each game it says opening day. Every game of the season.

As for them fixing it's been this way since 14 they're not touching it.

wow that does suck. Even the bugs like pitcher fatigue from pitching every game, will go untouched? or not being able to advance past playoffs, that's pretty huge to go ignored.

Re: Online Franchise

My friends and I decided to say fuggggg it, and we're gunna roll with an online franchise once again this year. As much as I've complained I don't want to give SDS a reason to cut out a very active mode!

yep I am in two here at OS, now if only they invited some Online franchise guys to community day we would be able to show them how jacked up this mode really is and some small TLC would go a long way

Couldn't have said it better myself, we're not asking for the world, just to have someone go through and flesh out the mode a bit, at least fix the flippin bugs!

Re: Online Franchise

Contract glitch still in so if you send someone down they will be on a one year deal...sigh.

Re: Online Franchise

Other things already confirmed:

Schedules do not change year to year.
Draft/Scouting is the same.
Contract stuff is the same, with the exception that you can now sign guys to 15 year deals max instead of 10, not sure why that was added in..but yeah.

Some positives:

Menus seem more responsive and load faster.
Simming/Resolving went alot faster and smoother than in years past.
It's a small thing but you can see players in their unis in the roster/trade screen. Kinda cool.

That's all I got. It's pretty much the same from last year as we all figured.

Re: Online Franchise

Has anyone tested to see if the franchise killing bugs have been removed?
