Re: Franchise Issues

Update 1.08? Wonder if anyone has tested this yet?

Wasn't that the update that came with the game? I thought I downloaded 1.08 upon install on Tuesday morning.

Re: Franchise Issues

Franchise for me is broken. There is no work around and ill explain why. Last year you were able to sign younger players to ten yr deals. This year, it is very difficult to get them to agree to a long term contract, which is much more realistic, but also means the players want more money per year. Therefore, I am unable to go through each team and lock young players into long contracts, resulting in them being overpayed. The only way around this for me has been 30 team control with the budgets off.. which I refuse to play. I also agree with hitman, hate to be negative nancy, but this went a whole year without being patched last year. Maybe this is is just something they have not figured out yet? Would appreciate being told that instead of being misled and losing out on 60 dollars. Last year I shared the optimism of everyone, thinking this would quickly be resolved. This year... not so much.

Re: Franchise Issues

I'm guessing Kolbe and Jeffs fixes on this missed the build somehow and nobody caught it.
Kolbe probably thought it was in...and didn't look back(his testing wasn't "in game" but on his PC that runs the game)....
This was a fix and not an actual addition.
My guess is...just overlooked somehow.(ish happens...)

Holding back on my freak out!

You won't freak but I purchased the game off of that thread basically

Reminds me of NCAA 10. Devs released photos of Iowa's facemasks being fixed then when game ships they are white again. At least it looks like this can be fixed which is good.

Maybe it can be fixed but when will we have to wait a month for correction on a mistake? I don't know but I would like to doesn't Sony make the game so they should pass a patch fairly quickly right?

Re: Franchise Issues

Guys:

While Russell stated this can be fixed, we still should be concerned. This bug was there last year with MLB 10 The Show. Was it ever fixed? No! That's why I believe all the members here voicing their concerns is definitely warranted.

Heck, I'm one of those myself. I'm not a coder but for them to state it wasn't there months ago & then it be there upon release tells me there wasn't sufficient testing of the game.

Franchise mode is probably the biggest mode of play used by gamers. That & RTTS are the top 2. I don't play RTTS so I'm left with franchise mode. One thing I will say is this game blows the MLB 2K series totally off the map. Why they even make that crappy game is beyond me. Especially for the PS3. I can see it on the 360 since it's the only baseball game made for that system.

I'm just hoping Russell was right in this can be fixed. You still have to be skeptical though because it wasn't with last years game. If this is the only major bug in franchise mode then great. Let's get it patched and all of us true franchise guys can be happy. I hope Russell or Kolbe can chime in to let us know something soon. Thanks guys!

Your "game breaking glitch" is realism???????

This probably isn't a hard fix, and like Knight said they had fixed it. It can be patched in. I don't know, for me turning off training seems like a minor fix for sure.

The one thing the show needs to do better in is REGRESSION. if people retired properly , or a higher percentage of players were bad, teams would need these serviceable vets

I agree with this. You see it all the time in real life that a guy goes from being a stud to gone or vice versa. This could be tricky to implement, as I am sure some people would be upset that they trade for a "stud" and then he fails to deliver. But it would sure make everything "franchise" more realistic. You might think twice about that blockbuster trade. I think Kolbe has plans to redo things like this for next years version.

That's why we need to be able to edit/control a player's current/overall potential--maybe adjustable every off-season, as well as to somewhat control when a player should retire. To give us control of core operations like that would only benefit us franchisers.

That's not a franchise mode franchise is singular no body runs more than 1 team that would be like commissioner mode and then we would have to do collective bargaining and the such I don't want that control it would be just a crutch like 30 team which I never intended on using but it's the "workaround"

Re: Franchise Issues

Glitch? Hardly, its the only way I can get all the teams under cap. You think I enjoy going through every team and having to offer hundreds of contracts? No, in fact, I really dislike it. That post you made was beyond stupidity. Without going any further into that and without knowing jack about game development, wouldn't the reasonable solution just be to increase the budges each year? I'm finding that almost all the teams run into cap issues. Why not just raise each teams budget increase percentage at the end of each year. Couldn't this be easily done through a patch without too much recoding?

[ryan36]

Re: Franchise Issues

Under cap? They started off last year well under their budgets. the cpu will keep players under budget, that's not the glitch.

I don't think you have or played the game... but since you called my post beyond stupid you're banned.
