    Thanks guys.
    Enjoy
    Yes...and Yes...(and you'll love watching games this year even more!!!)

    Is it possible to copy/lineups or set a master lineup to make tweaking the 4 lineup options easier?

    Are there organizational depth charts that could make using "auto-correct" easier?

    Has anything changed to compel (and punish) the user and cpu to promote prospects besides injuries in a season?

    Anything done to make budgets tighter (or ideally editable)?

    Can you sign players to extensions during the season?
    1.Not currently. Good idea though ala OOTP
    2. Another good idea. I will suggest it
    3.It's still injury based(trade as well) I think we'll see some movement on this for '13
    4. Tighter? Weren't teams getting strapped in your franchise?!
    They have/are working on budgets and things effecting budgets. Remains to be seen(fingers crossed)
    5. Not yet.....I think we'll see this in '13.

    Have the contracts for fake players been moved from the ridiculous default of 1 year? Previously the contracts of all fake players were set at 1 year. This was causing players to get new contracts every year and contributed to the free agency glitch.

    Have menus improved for 30 team control, particularly trade and drafts? For example, can I set my draft to auto so the CPU will auto draft for teams? Also, a menu that will pop up every time a trade is offered in 30 team control so I can prevent trades from happening without having to check the pending transactions every day.
    1. It seems to be from our sims
    2. Yes....there is some new logic in place for players "under team control" and not on the 40 man. You'll see much less release and sign players.
    3. We were close to getting an "sim to" button this year for draft....but I'm not confident in it getting in. I think for next year yes.
    No on the trade offer....but that's something I'll ask for. That's a good idea as long as it's an option and can be turned off(I'm actually asking for a feature that if you choose "sim season" you won't get ANY notifications on your screen to X through...a true "quick sim" option to get through a year to year in franchise.

    Ok, here are some things I'd like to see:

    1. Incentive-based contracts? I know it's asking a lot, but it would be cool if there were a few selectable stat or team goal incentives. I.E. Jair Jurrjens would have a base salary of $5m with a $500k bonus if his ERA is under 3.5, etc.

    2. Editable budgets, both team and player. That or make them in-line with real-life, they are better in MLB 11, at least in comparison to real life, but could get better.

    3. Multi-team trades?

    4. Talk players out of retirement, or make it an option in 30 team franchise to correct it, I'm not sure how we could have control over every aspect except this one.

    5. Revamp the free agent system, the Madden system is kinda pointless, but at least it's something new. Make the free agents sign based on something, at least have the reasons be obvious, i.e more money, location, winning team, etc.


    I'm sure I have some more, but those are the big ones, I love the Franchise mode on this game, I spend basically all of my time on it, so I hope it gets some love. New menus would be nice too.
    All good ideas and have been suggested. They won't be in '12 though.

    This is a pain in the arse bug that wasn't/"can't" be fixed.(I think they need to totally rewrite something).
    We'll ask again for sure.

Something that bothered me about the PS2 version is that pitchers don't have vs L&R ratings like hitters do. Are those ratings in the PS3 version? And if so, how in-depth are they? Are there for example vs L&R ratings for contact as well as for power or slugging? Thanks.
    It's not in '12 and something I've suggested to Brian. He will explore it I was told.

    Will we be able to edit the length of wrist tape, compression sleeves, wrist bands, etc.?

    Are there several different options for jersey and pants sizes (baggy, extra baggy, etc.)?
    I believe yes and yes but no to the jersey/pants....Enigma would know...

    Franchise:

    Please eliminate the travel options, it's pointless and adding seats, since you can't see them.
    I heard them asking Chris for this....(Enigma and Slab).....I wasn't sure what he said......but I think they would consider it for '13.

    It won't be allowed...but the "glitch" works pre-franchise.

    It's not in '12. They are looking for ways to expand the year to year(and therefore the season to playoff) stats and have them carry over

    Will we have more info on happenings within the franchise ? News on other teams.

    Can we also have a transactions filter ? To separately track trades, signings, and promotions
    They did some tweaking to the paper I believe(I think it will be replaced in '13)....there is more commentary on such thing.....
    No filter(this year....they will likely add it in '13), but while we were there they did add YELLOW to trades and RED to injuries(DL) to the transaction screen. Much easier to find them now. MUCH!!

    You can edit secondaries...but same as last year.

    Will 3 team trades, cash considerations, etc. be included in trade options this year?

    Is there going to be a way to have set lineups that don't go haywire after an injury?
    1. No
    2. Lineup logic is new....

    I think this is working, but it's not perfect.....tabarnes knows this one a bit more.

    An issue I notice in Franchise Mode just after the trade deadline. A lot of moves happened just after this happens and the system forces us to place a player on waivers instead of being able to trade outright. Once he clears we are given the option to accept whoever placed the claim or decline. I know this is an aspect of the trading deadline in MLB, but for instance the Jimenez trade to CLE adversely affected my season because he missed a scheduled start. What I do is release that player and place the claim by CLE, same with Alex White, Drew Pomeranz etc and have COL place the claim on them. This reflects an option from said players and doesnt reflect a trade.

    That being said, can you all see if we will be able to make a trade logically like instead of a 1-1 trade, maybe a 3,4 for 1?

    Thanks fellas!
    3 for....2 for are in.....

    If they are fictitional names....are they changable via edit coach option?

    Also..is there a kings court in safeco field's left field when king felix is pitching? (Would guess no)

        knight, thanks for the hard work again this year (and all the guys)

        did you happen to notice if the Pirate's Manager Clint Hurdle is in the game? Last year he was a random/fictional black manager. thanks.

          I'm a bit bummed about franchise mode this year. However, that's what happens when you get spoiled LOL. Either way, I'd rather have them fix the issues that were 11 then add new things and not function properly.

          Knight,

          I don't think this has been asked, but have minor league stats been fixed? For example, I cannot stand seeing the top prospects in AA hitting .323 with 5 HR and 25 RBI through like 60 games. Its pretty common in AAA as well. Thank you for your hard work man.

            They are definitely working on getting things right.
            It's such a delicate balance as doing one thing....might totally have a negative effect somewhere else.
            That, plus there is some other fix codes in there....so the current team must work around that in some sense sometimes.

            I didn't get a chance to see simmed minor league stats to tell you the truth. We were really focusing on the MLB issues.
            Sorry.

                Knight,
                Thanks for getting my question answered my only other one was kind of answered in another thread that was about the players auto having long sleeves. The answer was above 70 they wouldn't but did that count for positions players too or just pitchers? Also with 70 degrees being the cutoff did they at least fix the temps so that they were a bit more realistic and don't have to wait until July to be 70 degrees? thanks in advance

                  Just pitchers.
                  I don't think they touched the temps....just looking at the rain.
                  I'll shoot Ramone a PM about the temps.

                    Maybe they could lower the threshold.

                      What exactly are the plans for franchise mode in the future? I've seen a lot of people mention that they're kind of dissapointed that no changes were made.

                        I know it's not a huge addition it needs but I'm assuming printing out rosters/lineups didn't make it?
                        Also perhaps the Vita (hooked to pc) could do it in the future maybe? Or at least having one of them be able to save out a txt file to print seperately....

                        Again I know this isn't a must have, it's just something I'd love to have.

                              Sounds good. I'm a franchise buff, myself. Not really one to go online and play games. So hearing that they have something for us in regards to franchise for '13... Just wow. They already have me pumped for that game when '12 didn't even hit shelves yet. Damn you, developers!

                                Not sure if this was asked but can we or will we ever be able to adjust MLB service time for created players only?
