Foreign Leagues

[Godgers12]

Is it possible we will ever see the Japanese, Korean, or Cuban leagues incorporated into franchise mode in the future? Perhaps when the more powerful systems hit the market and the devs have more space to work with? I would love to be able to sign Japanese players in the offseason (with true to life posting rules). As well, MLB vets or prospects who are FAs could sign with a foreign league team, and still develop. Also, those leagues wouldn't just be for show, like Single-A teams are, they would play a full schedule, complete with viewable stats and standings.

Another thing that kind of irks me is the lack of an international signing period. News flash SCEA international prospects don't enter the MLB draft unless they're Puerto Rican, or Canadian, and most are 16 when they sign. This is a huge deal in real life, so how it is not in the game in 2020 is kind of baffling.

Re: Foreign Leagues

EA's NHL series includes many European leagues (Sweden, Finland, Czech Republic, Swiss, German, used to have Russia).
But I doubt we'll ever see the Japanese league in The Show, since Japan has its own game, Pro Yakyuu Spirits, and I'm guessing probably an exclusive license. If you're a European hockey fan, I believe EA's game is your only option, so it made sense for EA to include those leagues.
