Re: MLB The Show 22 Franchise and March to October Deep Dive
I would assume MtO is going to become franchise mode at some point. It seems odd for them to continue having it and Franchise side by side.
I assume MtO was built to have a new foundation for the future since it's been cited that Franchise mode is built on such an old foundation it is hard to flesh out anymore.
It makes sense to me that MtO is there to get the new foundation down, add to it, while keeping Franchise mode around, with the eventual goal of having MtO setup to where it can be enjoyed exactly like the traditional Franchise mode, but they have the foundation there to flesh it out.
I assume it will eventually allow you to play every game, every pitch, it will have all the rules of the CBA like franchise mode, etc. I would also guess that they will have multiple preset setups for the mode so that more casual players can play the mode in a streamlined manner like it is now, while other more hardcore players can play it out like they do Franchise mode now. Of course, users could change the settings and get a hybrid type mode where maybe they want to play every game, but want many things streamlined or even automated.
I do hope this is the route they're going. It makes sense with what they're adding to the mode and not also adding to franchise mode. It also makes sense because it's very odd for them to have two competing franchise modes if this wasn't the goal all along.
I do wish they'd come out and be honest and tell us what the plan is. I would be perfectly fine with minimal updates for a couple of cycles if it truly meant MtO was being built from the ground up so it could replace franchise mode and really flourish and satisfy both the casual and hardcore crowds along with all of those in between.
Their lack of communication is what leads to frustrations. We weren't told why MtO became a thing, really. It simply became a thing. We aren't being told why they are splitting resources between it and Franchise mode at a time where frustrations with Franchise mode have been an all time high in the community.
Honestly, if their plan is to have both modes side by side moving forward, it becomes even more puzzling and frustrating because if this franchise mode is to stay and be here longterm, and these minor updates are all we get all the while MtO is getting more updates to it, it just becomes a question of what made them decide that was the right plan.
Call it copium, but I feel like the only thing that makes sense is MtO eventually gets fleshed out and Franchise mode is technically removed, but MtO offers everything it had an more, meaning franchise mode is gone in name only.
