MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

Nice list fellas! Here's mine.

- Add more stat overlays and commentary to the current season in franchise mode. More focus on milestones and records.
- Give us the ability to view the stats/standings/lineup/hot an cold pages before a game in franchise mode for as long as we want. Let us press X to jump into the game once we are done. The way it is now we just don't have enough time to flip through these pages.
- Implement rotating interleague schedules
- Revamp current budget system. Real contracts for MLB players with - Contract Clauses/No trade clauses
- Add minor league stats for each player who has played in the minors
- Add top 10 prospect lists for each team instead of an overall list
- Set prices for tickets, concessions, etc.

You have been studying my post I see... LMAO. Good list my dude.

Oh wow man. It is easy. You should watch a you tube video and see how easy it really is.

Would you mind linking what you think is the best YouTube video in your opinion? I'm not looking to add walk-up songs for every batter, just more sounds coming from the crowd and from outside the stadium. I'd love to be able to set this up. This would be greatly appreciated!

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

I must be the 5th dentist because I like the new budget system.

I wish that during the offseason it would tell you exactly how much money you have instead of us having to take our weekly cash flow and multiply it by 26 (actually its like 26.43 or something) to determine our overall budget, but I will gladly take a budget system that is constantly "evolving" depending on what is going on in your franchise (attendance, home games make money, road games lose money, get more money for playoff games, etc) than the static budget system we had prior to '17.

Does it need work and to be evolved? Sure, but its a great concept.

And a tip for knowing how much money to set aside for contract renewable players and arbitration players...I always deduct $20M off my budget to cover these expenses. It has worked thus far as I've never encountered the "not enough funds to sign a player" or whatever the message says.

Again, it would be best if this information was provided up front without us having to "guess", but again this method has always worked for me. *knocks on wood*

I must be the 6th. The current budget system is much more immersive than other games where it is just a flat number. They need to iron out a few kinks like you mentioned, but I'd rather not dumb it down.

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

I wish I was better at setting up SOTS. I'm just not that advanced at computers and such. I know its probably "simple/easy" but I've tried and I just can't do it...LOL.

I do have the tv broadcast themes of Fox Sports, TBS, YES Network, and ESPN set up though, so I was able to do something...LOL

Same boat. What I do for the vast majority of my music, (and I dont use players real walkups, ) I take a compact disc of whatever song I want and download it to the harddrive of my ps3. From there I copy it to a flashdrive , then put that flashdrive in the ps4 and let the Show do its thing. I know it takes longer my way I'm one one of those old dogs that doesn't want to learn a new trick. Sorry to derail the thread. Back to your regularly scheduled daydreaming. lol

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

Sorry guys, but making people multiply by 26.43 and subtract 20 or whatever to figure out their budget is not immersion (the second most overused word on the forum after 'broken'). It can be better described as tedium and the illusion of any sort of depth. At minimum, if you are going to keep the weekly cash flow, post a bottom line yearly number as well for the multitude of dentists that don't want to be quite as immersed.

Where did I suggest I was ok with having to multiply and hold back x amount from my budget? I wish I didn’t, but I do to make do with the options I have.

But I would still rather have this budget system than what we had before.

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

expanded rosters, it is a must. and have class A ball actually happen.

with the size of games now there really is no limit and no reason not to be able to have less then 90 players per roster.

EDIT Manager mode. create a manager we need that! so we don't have fake managers

I think we all know it won't happened though because most of the focus will be on DD and it won't be worth the time to expand roster.

Simple economics is that the majority of people only care about big name players and licence players and that must be sold in a way that is feasible with DD mode that makes the money and the Micro-transactions$$

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

Agreed. Expanded rosters and editable managers are the top two things on my list of additions/improvements to franchise mode.

I think expanded rosters would cure a few ailments the mode has at the moment. And editable managers will add a new layer of "immersion" to the game, especially if they give the managers a personality and character and have them actually manage the game instead of just exist.

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

There has been some speculation about carryover saves limiting what can be done by the devs to further flesh out certain modes. If there are any legs to that speculation at all, then adding minor league layers/expanding rosters would be an area in which it would likely manifest. You'd think it wouldn't be as simple as populating the new levels with a bunch of Joe Randoms.

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

Maybe...but I could also see where its implemented to where it doesn't take effect until you reach the offseason in the new season..ex: '19.

So let's say I finish my season on '18 and go through the offseason on it. When I get '19 and carryover my save, then I could see the game maintaining 90 man rosters until I complete a season in '19. Then when I get to the offseason the rosters expand to the new count.

Or if I finish a season in '18 but don't advance to the offseason, then when I carryover to '19 then I advance to the offseason and the rosters are set to the new count.

Well, from a logistical standpoint it's probably not as simple as adding in Joe Randoms to an existing carryover. I'm not doubting they can do it, but I think it presents some added developmental hassle on their end even if they wanted to go beyond 90 players. I don't recall them ever stating that they'd even like to add in more minor league levels (?)

Curious about your hypothetical though...where would they get the additional players from? To fill the 10/20/30/50 more slots in each team after advancing to the offseason? I feel like there'd have to be an explosion in fake players generated and dumped into the FA pool, or even better there'd have to be a draft that is X rounds longer to fill those spots? Or the new levels wouldn't be playable and would have no minimum threshold for players (kinda like the A ball level is now)? I'm not sure.

Well given there several players available in free agency in any given offseason, there would be a portion of the additional players needed to fulfill the extra roster spots. Then they would have to expand the draft to more rounds than they have now. If you expand the draft to 10 rounds then there are at least 300 players to fill rosters not including the competitive balance pick rounds. Then they could fulfill any additional roster spots with random players.

Look I don't know a thing about game development. Carryover saves may prevent this personal wishlist feature from even being possible, but until they come out and say its not, then I'll keep hope alive.

Re: MLB 19 Franchise Addition Requests

The one thing I would REALLY like to see added is a Fog of War like what NHL added this year. Ratings hidden until you scout them....hiring a team of scouts and assigning them to different players/teams, etc.

I just love the possibility of not being able to see player ratings and then overpaying for a guy having a good season.

I already dont play below AAA so if any new levels weren't playable like Single A is now, I'd be more than fine with that. In fact I'd be as giddy as a school girl lol
