    I miss Season mode

    If Season mode still existed in this game, I would buy MLBTS 21 no questions asked.

    Prior to the launch of this years game I kept saying "Things would be different if I only owned one of the next gen consoles". But I didn't have one at the time. Well something happened since then (I blame the fun I have been having playing Subnautica which no surprise plays so much better on the next gen consoles), I ended up doing something I said I would not do and that was I ended up buying a PS5 console yes at inflated prices (but inflation is everywhere these days and it will only get worse, so why not buy now while the window of opportunity was still open). But what now prevents me from buying MLBTS 21 is time. I just do not have the time to commit to trying to complete a 162 game season especially since 1/3 of the real world season is already behind us. If I knew Y2Y saves would return in MLBTS 22, then starting a new Franchise with this years game wouldn't be as big of an issue. But unless I am mistaken SDS has not said anything about bringing back Y2Y saves and I am not a fan of simming games and no, MTO in my humble opinion is not a viable replacement either. MTO is just a different way to sim your way through a season. No what is missing is the ability to customize a season. I miss the ability to create either a 29 game season (where everyone plays each other once), an 81 game season or the full 162 game season.

    But silly me. All of us are really only supposed to be playing DD. My bad.

    I definitely would like the ability to change number of games played in a season.

        As sad as it is, I don't believe we're ever going to see the attention to other modes that we once did. If you check theshow.com official forums, you see:

        DD forum: 23K topics, 243K replies
        RTTS: 1.2K topics, 6.3K replies
        Franchise: 417 topics, 1.9K replies

        That's almost 30 times as much interest in DD as RTTS and franchise combined. To be frank, we're probably lucky to still have a franchise mode at this point. They say they'll never get rid of it, but don't expect any improvements. They're not going to waste time on modes that don't generate any revenue.

          They improved franchise mode this year.

            the only real thing season mode had that you can't do now is short seasons but what I'd suggest is sim 108 games & play 54.
            the vast majority of teams IRL are gonna win 54 & lose 54 whether they're pennant winners or cellar dwellers.
            it's what happens in those other 54 games that make the difference in 100 game winners & 100 game losers (& everywhere in between)

            I just posted this yesterday but ever since Show 18, I like to overwrite the Double A & Single A players with generic blank name players with all attributes set at 25 across the board
            then I'm left with 50 man rosters instead of 40 man rosters and playable Triple A leagues as well. which you couldn't do in traditional season mode

              sorry for the double post but to add on to what cb says, they also have improved franchise mode every year. sometimes small incremental improvements but improvements nonetheless

                I know most want more roster slots, but what I loved most about season mode was being able to manage just my 40-man roster. I didn’t have to worry about minor leagues. And trades were more challenging since I didn’t have a system full of prospects. Maybe it wasn’t as realistic, but for me season mode was more fun.

                    I’m doing something similar when I want some change. I sim up to September ( just before call up deadline) and then pick a team in a special situation like an underdog team in a playoff race or a big team with lot of injuries and trying to hold it.

                    It’s a 25-30 games season + playoffs and if you’re using QC you can finish the season in a short span.

                      Actually what they did is welcome as an avid franchise player

                      But to your point I never claimed anything other than they made improvements

                      But it’s always nice to hear from the peanut gallery.

                        I like this idea. Muchas gracias mi amigo.
