No Season Mode?

Re: No Season Mode?

From Playstation store:

You can cancel a digital content purchase within 14 days from the date of transaction, provided that you have not started downloading or streaming it.

Digital content that you have started downloading, streaming and in-game consumables that have been delivered, are not eligible for a refund unless the content is faulty.

For those interested (probably very few)...no way to get a refund now.

I think that removal of a ten-year old game feature people have come to expect (especially with the promise of year-to-year saves) without warning ought to be justification for making an exception to the above policy.

Yep, some people don't care about the minor leagues. Too much stuff to track. Season mode was cleaner and quicker and easier.

And you could play less than 162. That was the biggest part imo.

Re: No Season Mode?

I have always applaud SDS for not taking out features in games

This year they took out 2 entire modes online franchise and season mode. neither I actually use, but I fear one year next they will take out 30 team control out of franchise then I will be just as pissed off as the people that use season mode the most.

Madden did this now you gotta spend hours in that CFM rubbish you can't just start a season with rosters you spend hours on.,

It seems they are getting to EAish and now focusing on DD and all those modes slowly getting rid of anything to do with franchise in season stuff you know actually baseball we see on tv for 6 months

Re: No Season Mode?

It's not like season mode affected the servers. Why take it out.

BINGO. This is why not saying anything is a really low move. They built a reputation for being consistent and not removing modes, options, and features...so there should have been NO REASON to worry about this. And then to NOT SAY ANYTHING...I am at a complete loss.

Thats a europe rule for Playstaion, see the url having en-gb for great Britain.

US won't even give you a refund before downloading the game once the transaction is made from wallet. I know cause I tried to cancel mine yesterday so I could re-buy with the 20% off coupon.

Ok, thanks. I didn't notice...but no surprise, anyway, I guess.

Lesson learned. School of hard knocks.

Re: No Season Mode?

Another lesson into why pre ordering games should be a thing of the past and people should stop doing it.

Re: No Season Mode?

So they removed 2 complete modes in season mode and online franchise mode...but at least they fixed the colors smh...

Last time I'm buying this game until they completely revamp franchise mode and give us back the option to create 99 rated beasts in Rtts.

You would think MLB 19 is the best chance they have to revamp franchise mode with them probably going to bring back online franchise....but let's wait and see.

Re: No Season Mode?

I’m assuming it was taken out with Online Franchise when they rewrote the code. I enjoy both online and offline play but this explicit and destructive bias for online play is insane and it’s clear that the priority is on online play for the DD microtransactions. Offline play simply doesn’t produce the profit that DD does. I completely understand the profit motive, but seeing as they’re the only true to life simulation baseball game out there, they should at least *try* to make the experience fulfilling for all players instead of continuing to line their pockets while deconstructing less profitable aspects of the game.
For years I’ve refused to overly criticize the developers and I’ve been very tolerant of their questionable decisions because I truly believed they still had all players’ interests in mind and were attempting to improve all areas, but at this point I see no way that can still be true. They removed these modes for the sole reason of catering to online gameplay.
I’ve enjoyed Season a lot and I’m incredibly disappointed it’s gone but I’m mostly upset because they’ve 100% confirmed the direction they’re heading and I do not see them ever turning it around.

Re: No Season Mode?

In the Netherlands and just woke up to find out that my beloved season mode is gone.

I'm 48 with 2 kids, my gaming time is much more limited than in days past.
I also never play online.
Season mode is literally the only mode i play!

I would take all the SOTS from this website. Start with my team, then do all stadium sounds, and would do the other teams as i started playing them in my season.
I also love the classis rosters, all the love and care that the community has put in them.
I took them and - again - played a season with them.
Always a 162 game season without simming.

Have Always bought the show, last years through pre-order and praised the game.
Recently i even wrote here that i love the fact that SDS adds stuff without taking stuff out.
Well, guess i was wrong.

Having no season mode has completely changed this game for me.
Don't play any other modes, and single games are just boring to me.
There's nothing on the line, much more easy to quit.

I am truly surprised, frustrated and devastated that season mode is out.
I'm hoping there's a way to put it back in - like last year with the highlight reel but I doubt it.
What's even worse, SDS didn't say a word about it, shame on them.

So, ending with a question to the experienced franchise mode players :

Is there a way to set franchise up in such a way that i only have to play my games, nothing more nothing less.

Not a good start of the day.

Re: No Season Mode?

The least they can do is add the option to edit the number of games played in franchise mode. Thats not even asking for much.

Re: No Season Mode?

Wow. This is a terrible news. This has been my go-to mode for doing a lot of stuff (player editing, simulation, etc.) for a while.

No Season Mode?
