No Online Franchise in MLB The Show 19

Eventually it'll be the only mode. I truly feel that. It's their money maker.

Absolutely. Someone somewhere at SDS sits in an office and sees it's the only way, aka bottom line that DD makes them money after the game has been purchased. People in offices don't care about gameplay, graphics, modes, etc... Only money. Devs get their marching orders and we get what they give us. The end. Not even an online Franchise guy and never will be, but they took my Season mode away last year and came for others this year. They're no different than any other sports game out right now either, which is unfortunately the future. That's why I am already happy with just new uniforms. Keep low expectations - Suffer less disappointment.

Years ago , I did enjoy online. But as I got older, I got lazier. I sacrifice the humans so that I can amble about at my own slow pace. Eventually, having to keep up with others started feeling like a chore. And as AI got better, so did the CPU experience. I do wish the CPU had 30 split-personalities lol

Ha! 30 split-personalities pretty much summed up my league. I'm over 50 and yeah, sometimes I just wanna wreck the CPU. We played with mostly adults (and one or two really respectful older teens). It's a great core group. Play Madden, MLB '14-17 and we even did FIFA competitions.

On Line Franchise DLC. $4.99 per season, $39.99 Year long pass. Or make it like fantasy baseball hosts and charge the league as a whole.

If it's not DD, the devs don't care.

I am a offline guy, but I can really understand peoples frustration.

The best thing for The Show, in terms of game quality and content, would be MVP Baseball or MLB 2k being revived. Just for the sake of competition enhancing their own game.

I know there’s RBI Baseball but it’s not a major title.

Pretty sure it was already announced Tickets will be removed and there's speculation in other features being taken out as well.

They will be replaced with other items. Guaranteed.

I've got MLB 2k12 in my disc drive on my PC and don't get me wrong, it has problems. Big problems. There's no mystery why the show beat it years ago. It was the better game. (Problem is its still that same game.)

But man, it's smooth as butter and those pitching gestures are just irreplaceable.

Incidentally, MLB 2k is to 2k what Online Franchise is to SCEA, ha.

no MVP would just bring in MUT that ultimate team rubbish that started this decline in sports game that they try and feed us into our face. this whole 'deluxe edition' I couldn't care less if your gonna give me 34904950 stubs I will not pay more for that crap. I hate in franchise when all those cards come up I can't hit x enough times I must have over a million stubs I never used over the years, that is how much I couldn't care less about that mode.

Maybe I am getting to old but I like to play a sports game for the sport.

what's gonna be next DD mode only play your own franchise and earn stubs to edit players?? or earn stubs to unlock equipment in franchise?? or you can pay REAL money and just unlock it now!

the video game market crash is coming... the sporting one maybe well here soon. There will be a time when the DD lovers will grow up and get fed up of the mode and bored. then the sales will go down because it's the only mode focused on and then we have the massive crash.

World Series Rings or Division Pennants.

Going down the same path as EA sports all they care about is DD and their microtransactions. Didn't buy it last year, now I won't even think about it. Hope they realize they're alienating a good chunk of the fanbase.

Re: No Online Franchise in MLB The Show 19

But you know the card trading "ultimate" team type modes like Diamond Dynasty will never see a year or two taken off to focus one XYZ.

I really would like to see the percentage of what mode is being played. I do believe that On line Franchise was the minority.

You know why it was the minority? Because the mode they tried to release was broken and terrible. If they actually made a mode that worked I'm guessing the numbers would look a bit different. Only the hardcore fans would take the time to work around a broken mode. I don't entirely blame the devs, it's the higher ups at SDS that are making these calls. And all they care about is money. DD fans rejoice, if you don't play the mode at all though sorry you're just out of luck.
