That would be unfortunate but wouldn't surprise me. I submitted a bug report last year. Maybe somebody acted on it - or maybe not. On the list of things in franchise which need to be added or upgraded that's probably not in the top 20 but it would be nice to see it fixed since they have taken the time to address contracts.

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
Then don’t add it. Really? How about doing it right. If we had a relocation feature not being able to do things like in 2K’s My League or NHL 19 it would be so half baked.
A bone? No I would want a meal. And SDS would not throw out a limp feature like a simple relocate feature like you mentioned above. It has been talked about so much....if they just did what you suggest? It would be laughable and ridiculed.I don't mind if they do it incrementally as long as they do it.
It's better to have a bare bone relocation system in The Show 20 and an updated relocation feature in The Show 21 than no relocation at all.
Anyway there should be some sort of a relocation feature or custom team in the next edition. Pretty inexcusable that we still don't have this (unless, like I said , it's a MLB licensing issue).Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
To be fair, the argument for adding it bare bones and then have them improve it over time logic isn't great either, considering the way they've never done that with any other feature they implement. They've generally just added a feature and then never gone back to fine tune or improve it.Comment

I can only think of one relocation in baseball in the last 30 years and that is the Expos. It's not a huge part of the league and not vital to the franchise mode itself. Would it be cool if done correctly? Yes, definitely. But I think resource could be used elsewhere.Last edited by Funkycorm; 03-18-2019, 12:53 PM.Funkycorm

But if they are going to revamp an area of franchise mode from scratch...please redo scouting, drafting and player development. That is the real major area of opportunity to make that part of the team building process truly deeper and more immersive.Now Playing on PS5:

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
I'm not sure what I would choose if Sony gave me the choice to have a bare bones relocation feature now or a really deep expansion mode in 5-10 years from now. Of course, a really deep expansion mode now would be the best of all worlds.Chicago Cubs | Chicago Bulls | Green Bay Packers | Michigan WolverinesComment

If they put in a barebones expansion/relocation then the rhetoric around would be that SDS put this in half-assed and did it to only shut the community up
Then the same they are lazy, don’t care, etc... comments would follow

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
I can tell you it’s on their list and they know it’s a high priority of the community.
The reasons it’s not been done yet are time, resources, and memory.

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
To be honest, and this just might be me, but I got the feeling that the batting stance editor was kind of “rushed” if you will. My experiences with it dont’t really allow for a wide range of stances. Sure you can edit anyone’s, but I was thinking they’d expand on it further this year; namely hand and leg postitions being more malleable. There is only so much flexibility with the feature in its current state. It’s completely possible that they have maxed out the potential for this feature as well.
As some has alluded to, I just hope it doesn’t take 5+ years to revisit this feature and add some polish.
Please excuse my overuse of “feature” for lack of a better term.Last edited by pingponggame; 03-18-2019, 07:52 PM.Comment

Re: Franchise Mode is Piece of a Bigger Picture Says San Diego Studios
What gets to me the most about this is the excuses. They keep saying that "they don't have the resources" and "RTTS (used to be DD) is the most popular mode so it is the priority". But that's putting the chicken before the egg.
SDS claims franchise mode gets less attention because it is less popular. In reality, it is less popular because it repeatedly gets less attention. Why would a large number of people play franchise mode in its current state? Why would you expect people to flock to any mode OTHER than RTTS when RTTS is the only mode you focus on?
Don't get me wrong, I love the game, and the team, but no one is perfect, and this "not popular enough" trope is a silly and complacent statement that we've basically heard 10 years in a row. Imagine if Microsoft never developed a PC because the first computer wasn't popular? What if Amazon never invested in its business because its initial business (books) was declining? Imagine all the things that wouldn't even exist if everyone adopted the SDS/Sony style of reasoning and focused primarily on things that were already successful?
You have to invest in a product BEFORE it becomes popular, not after. A little proactivity could go a long way.Last edited by Bobhead; 03-18-2019, 10:01 PM.Comment
