I’m still trying to grasp the fact that women being added to a baseball video game moved someone to announce on a forum that they are a “man’s man”

If someone has to announce it, then they most likely are not one.

I'm going to ignore all the chest thumping in this post to just say that not a single one of us, regardless of how long we have been purchasing this title, are entitled to special consideration no matter how much we wish that it was so. It would be nice, for sure, but it is not a given.

If this is the 15th time that I have purchased the game, I expect I'll have the same importance to SDS as someone who is purchasing it for the very first time. To believe otherwise is just a fast lane to frustration and disappointment.

Also funny to see what appears to be a cisgendered, straight, probably white man argue that representation doesn't actually matter, as if he's ever experienced what it might be like to be underrepresented in any aspect of modern culture.

But in all fairness, not everyone wants all of that, but still wants franchise mode.

I totally get that, which is why season mode is perfect. Which is dang near what franchise mode is right NOW.

They took away features that had promotions and more of the owner mode aspect to it.

NBA2k does it amazingly where they have ALL of these things that make a great franchise. But they also let you check what things you want control of, and what things you don't. You can make it as simple or complex as you want. We just need options. This mode is pretty bare bones compared to every other sports franchise mode.

Many things are still missing. I mean we are drafting international guys in the regular draft. How do we not have an international free agent period? How cool would it be to have Yamamoto's and Ohtani's posted in the offseason with teams bidding for them? Not the traditional free agency.

I mean, not really though. If I'm not mistaken season mode doesn't have control of the minors/drafting/off season moves etc. Correct?

I think it had a 40 man roster. Not full minors, and I believe you could still do trades, but the offseason was simplified and there was no budget. I never really did season mode, so I honestly can't say for sure.

I am just saying other sports games have made it work and 2k can be as complex or simplified as you want. Nothing wrong with options.

Okay gotcha, yeah I never played season mode.

Yes, and that is why it was perfect for someone like me who isn't interested in all the micromanaging of Franchise. And I know you might just say to set all that stuff to Auto but it really isn't the same at all. The CPU does some truly weird stuff. Plus with Season mode you can set the amount of games in a season. I loved having a 30 or 60 game season where I could play every game in a reasonable amount of time with zero simming. That's no longer an option.

Yeah I'm the complete opposite of that, but to each their own. It's all good.

Buddy, with all due respect. There’s not a single woman on the planet who can smoke a 95 MPH fastball 450 feet. I don’t want to get into a political debate, but I took biology in high school and college. Like when Candace Parker said her Daughter would be 360 tomahawk dunking. No…. No she won’t. Even if you believe in the most extreme examples of evolution, some things are just not possible due to biology.

With that said, on the same note I know a lot of really good ball players that have tried hitting against female college level softball pitchers and said it’s near impossible. Not only is the mound closer to the plate but the release point is super deceiving. So to each their own

This point was about which major American sport of the "Big 4" a woman would be most likely to go Pro in, not whether or not a woman can hit 95 MPH pitches for 450 feet.

So you saying that a woman would more likely go Pro in the NFL, NHL or NBA?

I don't agree. Got nothing to do with Politics.

I would bet on PG in the NBA, personally.

Yeah, if it was just a shooting contest. But PGs take a pounding from bigger players...arguably they take the most physical abuse of anyone on the court (with the exception of 3 or 4 Centers like Joker who are just constantly hacked at and have gashes all over their arms lol).

The physical hand-to-hand combat style nature of the sport means that often PGs have to be one of the toughest players on the team. And if you're not extremely tough, you got to be lighting fast compared to everyone else on the court.

In baseball a woman could play 1st base, 2nd base, perhaps even SS or pitch. You don't have to throw 90 MPH to pitch in the Majors lol (yes I know, I know, fastballs need to clock over 90 mph consistently if your off-speed stuff is not great).
