Simple question, would you like it to be included in the offline franchise? I feel that the devs need to know how much we would really or wouldn't support it.
I vote YES!!

Re: Expansion Draft
I personally wouldn’t use it. I don’t care about expansion nor create a team or things of that nature.
I know many others do and I hope for those it’s added at some point.

Re: Expansion Draft
Sure, I'd love to see it, but would prefer re-location, and feel like it would be much easier to attain.
I can absolutely understand why it hasn't been added, as it would be a trainwreck trying to figure out coding to protect players, especially with all of the created rosters out there.
Re-location should absolutely be in it though, it's been in every other sports game for the past 3-4 years.2025 Expos Expansion:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1295163793Comment

Re: Expansion Draft
I would like to see it as an option if it is done in a manner like NBA2K where you could really customize your team and the scheduling is done well (obviously we would want something well executed, d'uh!).Comment

Re: Expansion Draft
I voted no because there are other things in franchise I far rather they work on. That and I'm far more likely to use a re-location feature then an expansion.Comment

Re: Expansion Draft
Don't get me wrong, I would love a full on expansion mode, I really would. I love the EA NHL series with their expansion mode but there are a few things I feel franchise mode needs first.
- Contract extensions is big one, even if it was only during the off season I would be fine with that.
- Contract negotiations - Feels like it is a random gamble as to whether I am able to sign a free agent or not. The players interests that is in the game now helps a little bit, but this needs to be improved. A dialogue back and fourth would be great. Another thing the NHL series has - even if it isn't the greatest is a big deal.
- Scouting needs an overhaul
- Training needs to be removed/overhauled
- Player progression needs to be tweaked. If a player puts up 3 consecutive MVP caliber seasons, there is no reason why they should still be a 73 OVR. Seems like it doesn't happen a lot, but when it does happen it is frustrating(at least we can edit the players)
- Game needs Spring Training invites
- Menus need to be tweaked. Sometimes there is no way to even access the players who are on waivers in the offseason. The new menu layout causes this unless you keep an email from the league from when a good player gets placed on waivers, there is no way to get to that screen.
There are many more smaller things I can think of. I love this game but franchise definitely needs some tweaks before expansion is added in my mind.Comment

Re: Expansion Draft
Actually, ASB 2005 did it well. Sure every time you started the mode you had the same lot of players to choose from but that was ok. If memory serves once ASB had to shut down the SDS team got a member or two from the ASB team. So in reality, if those persons are still there it has a chance of being reborn with ease"Baseball is life, without Baseball life itself ceases to exist." - Ken SpragueComment

Re: Expansion Draft
Not my cup of tea, but not opposed to them adding it so long as it doesn't take away from them keeping this gameplay so stellar.
I'd prefer they bring back season mode for those of us who play every pitch of every inning, and can't possibly get thru multiple years of franchise in a calendar year.

Re: Expansion Draft
IMO....
I have never looked at the carrying over feature in this game as having to play as many seasons in one calendar year between game releases. Now that they have fixed the old schedule problem by starting a new season in the same game.
LIke right now I know that I will be playing this season/postseason deep into the fall/early winter. Kudos to those that get that many seasons in between releases. However realistically that is a great amount of simulating. Which to me is completely boring. But as my mother used to say. To each their own. Then once I get through the offseason I will immediately begin 2019.
But If they plan this out and deploy it outright. with proper thought and planning and some serious creativity when it comes to expansion stadiums Which l see a lot of our minor league stadiums that could have been plucked from ASB 05.
If they did do it deep enough and allow us to choose mascots they would determine our team colors like in ASB 05. However, if they do allow us to pick our own mascots. I really hope that some of them are far better than the minor league quality names that were in that lot all those years ago.
one more thought... if they do this ever, and they add one CPU team and one luser team ala ASB 05. that would balance the number of teams n each league. Which and here is the biggest issue for the coders. If you chose to run with the expansion mode it would get rid of the problem with the schedule now that is causing a small number of teams to have to play that "dreaded" inter-league game to end the season.
as you can see I played this mode back n ASB 05 a great deal. it was my go-to mode most of the time. I have always wanted a game company to pick this mode up and run with it"Baseball is life, without Baseball life itself ceases to exist." - Ken SpragueComment
