Franchise Control All-Teams

[SFCFeagin]

Simple question here that I cannot locate an answer for. Can we still control all-teams in Franchise mode and simulate the games we don't want to play? I have seen where Season Mode is gone. I haven't played this Franchise the past two years after years of playing it and I would like to start back up but only if we can control all-teams 162 games all trades etc. Does anyone know if this is still possible?

Based on last year's game it was, and I don't think anyone has provided any indication it wouldn't be in available this year.

Yes 30 team control and franchise mode are going nowhere.

Hey A&S, I saw in another thread where someone said they were planning on doing 30 team control and doing the free agency like you do it. Just curious, how do you handle free agency?

The only way I can play. I have to keep the rosters current and accurate. I actually do the daily transactions/trades, callups/send downs.

I will have all that info in my new slider thread once the game drops. So be on the look out for that!

I think everyone probably handles it slightly differently, but I find the biggest benefit is when a team makes a stupid trade (ie. The Red Sox trading Pedroia, or when the Yankees kept on trading Jeter) you can easily go into the settings and change it back and reverse the trade.

Same goes with a team signing 5 Free agents all to the same position, you can go in, toggle the setting and trade/release that player.

Free agency I typically leave the CPU to do their own thing and if I notice a trade/signing that doesn't make sense, I reverse it. I will also check all of the teams before the season starts to see if they have multiple good players in the minors who are blocked by other players and make adjustments.

Needless to say this is a lifesaver for franchise mode, if this were to disappear I would stop buying the game lol.

And I'm just baffled that they eliminated the ability to review trades before they were implemented. From the aspect of going in, toggle the settings then undoing the trade, it seems far simpler to check at the end of each day if there are trades being offered, then since you control all 30 team but not every aspect, you can just reject the trade. Why they took that out is strange to me.
