    I'll move the Rays out of Tampa take them to either New Orleans , Memphis, or Charlotte because Tropicana is a dump.

    Expand into Las Vegas and Montreal bringing back the Expos (Because the Nats aren't leaving :P). Kinda hard since I want them both to be NL teams but I guess LV will be the AL Team and Montreal would be the NL team.

      Can I retract? I would eliminate Miami, Tampa, Colorado, and Arizona, move Milwaukee and Houston back where they belong, and be happy.

        Think 1977-1992, no Marlins Rockies D'Backs or Rays.
        If you could retract all the way back pre-1960's, the roster makers could not out a lot of great years and true pennant races with 2 8 team leagues with no divisions.
        I remember a few years ago they were seriously discussing contracting the league down to 28 teams. I think they were talking about the Twins which didn't make sense to me considering the struggles it is to get people to show up in Tampa. Would love the ability to pick the Association style (current, 1970-xx, pre-1960, etc.) and assign teams to the leagues/divisions.

        This wouldn't be possible here and it is more something OOTP may be able to do, but I'd love to see an Association structure similar to European Football...no minor league clubs associated with major league teams: everyone plays in their own leagues, top 2 or 3 get promoted, bottom 3 get relegated...MLB, AAA, AA, A with multiple leagues, 40 players active per team, something like that. Suddenly teams that play for the high position draft would have to change strategies to stay up. And imagine the headlines if you recreated, what was it 1990, when the Yankees had the worst record and got relegated to AAA.

          I'd go full-on ASB and bring back my Carolina Woodpeckers (perhaps with a name update, if DD features are used for expansion mode) and recreate Kydd Memorial.

            There are plenty of ballparks in the game now with the numerous classic stadiums. Create-a-ballpark would only interest me if the create-a-team function from diamond dynasty would migrate to franchise mode.

            It would be great to create a team, logo, uniform and ballpark.

            I doubt it will happen and I'll still buy the game if it doesn't but it would be a lot of fun.

              I imagine the biggest hurdle to expansion/retraction isthe amount of different schedules need to have. Relocation would be easier but I doubt MLB is gonna let SDS do that any time soon. Maybe for the different amount of schedules they could do one with an 8 team league, a 10 team league, a 12 and 14 team league with no interleague games for any if those.

                I do agree for team , logo & uniform ( they already have it with DD). For the ballparks , a few generic major leagues ballparks would do the job !!!

                  Realistic generic Stadiums ( not like the spring training and minor league stadiums currently in the game)

                    Edit:Now that I think about it, no interleague wouldn't work with 30 teams unless I kept Milwaukee in the NL and the leagues were split 16/14 instead of 15/15
                    With 30 teams there should most definitely always be interleague games IMO
                    but if we can retract to 26 teams, then I would want a 14/12 split like they had from 1977-1992, with 2 divisions each league. No interleague, no wildcard, just a 4 team post-season:


                    NL East - Mets, Phillies, Cardinals, Pirates, Cubs and revert Nationals back as Expos


                    NL West - Braves, Reds, Dodgers, Giants, Padres and swap Astros into NL


                    AL East - Orioles, Red Sox, Yankees, Blue Jays, Tigers, Indians and swap Brewers to AL


                    AL West - A's, Angels, Mariners, Rangers, Royals, Twins and White Sox.


                    if Sony wants to grow the Show into something like Madden, NBA2K or FIFA, I believe they should do more stuff like this to bring more people to the game because I'm convinced casual gamers will never go for baseball the way they do football basketball and soccer. But I'm also convinced Sony is fine with the Show being a niche title. I think it will have to fall to the locals at SDS to try to what they can to grow. But they may be fine focusing on a smaller game. Not that thers anything wrong with that, its just not what I want. But my $65 vote is only gonna take me so far.

                      Ok first off I would move teams around to where they need to be time zone wise.

                      first Pittsburgh would be moved to where they have ALWAYS belonged. that being the NL EAST.

                      second, I would move both Texas and Houston to the AL Central.

                      one last move would be to move Arizona to the AL West.

                      now I know the divisions would be lopsided.. but to me, that has never freaking mattered. if your team is in a certain time zone they need to be the division that represents that time zone.

                      after all that I would create two new teams (just like you had to do in ASB 05) then place them in probably the al and NL West. considering that I raped both and would be in need of a team each to help kinda balance things out again. even.

                      what two teams I would choose would be a time-consuming system. just like I was for me in ASB 05. The city would have to make sense when picking out a "mascot" or team name to go with the city that was chosen.

                      now the one thing that I think would be a real challenge to the Dev team unless they still have some of the old assets (team members) from the ASB team is that how do they go about doing what USB did. that being coding what players would be available for the expansion draft.

                      now, most of the Minor league stadiums we have in the game are pretty close to what they had in ASB for expansion or fantasy stadiums.

                      Not that I am saying it will ever come to life but it was my favorite mode in all of ASB 05. The Oakland future stadium was my favorite to play in. Then there was a stadium what was very very huge. I think I ti was like close to 400ft all the way around.

                      if it wasn't for MS gobbling up the code to that after acclaim went under we could still have some badass stuff...

                      ok getting off topic. sorry, just a lot of great memories from that game.

                        I dream of a day when I can control an expansion team and build it from the ground up.

                        It appears people want all the old stadiums added more than a feature to create your own ballpark.

                          You can...you'd just have to buy NBA2K

                          I did mention that I'd like to have an expansion team that had to build the stadium capacity when funds and support were sufficient, and I think others indicated the same. There is also something nostalgic about building back the old parks (maybe putting your own spin on it too). I'd love to have to make that call of spending money to add another tier with seating capacity to my club. I'd like to have to consider do I put a jumbotron out there or a water slide in center. Do I build the stadium in a location with a mountainous backdrop or with a city view. I just found out that in Singapore they have cheerleaders at softball games...I can only imagine what I could with that option

                            I have no interest in diamond dynasty because I use manage mode but I did take the time once to create a team - the Midwest Farmers. I created a logo of a windmill and put it on the ballcap and uniform.

                            I noticed the subsequently included the name farmers in the audio for naming a team.

                            That's what I would create if they included the option in franchise mode. I'm guessing there must be a problem getting approval from MLB to do that although it seems odd MLB would approve it for diamond dynasty but not franchise. I would be fine with just replacing an existing team with my created team but relocation/expansion would be fine also.

                            Not sure I would be interested in what Madden does with a list of uniforms and cities to choose from. I'd rather create my own.

                              I like bacon96's idea of having a North, South, East and West.

                              I'd probably make a couple older teams and/or new realistic teams. I may also swap out Red Sox for a completely made-up version of my own team but I'm pretty bad creating teams in DD so who knows how that would go.
                              I would definitely like the mode and would like to sub-out some real teams for others, or extract existing teams to have less teams overall.
                              Sounds like a fun mode, when/if created.
