Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

[rts5002]

Sorry if this has been asked already, but I've just read through some of the other CD threads and haven't searched this one prior to asking my question.

Will we be able to see players' statistics for the regular season during the post season and off season? I know that by going to the player cards you can see their regular season AVG, HR, and RBI, but I'd like to be sble to see a free agent's K/BB ratio, OPS, or any other number of statistics in order to determine if he is a good fit for my squad. Doesn't really make sense to keep track of dozens of statistics then let you see only 3 or 4 of them when deciding what players to sign. Thanks guys, keep up the great work.

Will a living roster type format ever be possible (like the nba games)? Looking for a lazy man's way of managing league-wide changes once a season is started.

How are the Interleague games looking beyond the first year? Are teams continuing to play rivals (Yanks/Mets-Reds/Indians-Cards/Royals) and are the interleague games rotating? Meaning teams play different divisions each year while maintaining the series vs their rival?

Sorry for back to back posts, just thought of another question and cannot edit my previous post.

Will we see guys go into the Hall of Fame after the season they retire? Example: lets say Mariano Rivera decides to retire after year 1, will he immediately go into the Hall of Fame? (NBA 2k does this)

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

tabarnes had this to say in the official community day thread:

All of the presentations make franchise so much more dynamic. You can tell the difference between opening day, mid summer, September and the playoffs. The pop ups and info in game is so great makes the game look like watching a telecast. You feel like in franchise now "you" are really in this reality. You can see trades and injuries scroll on the ticker as well as big milestones.

Tabarnes, can you throw us presentation heads a bone and describe some of the new overlays/pop-ups?

Plus, do batters have better/more varied walk up overlays?

Also what replaced the newspaper? the ticker? or does each team have a headline page?

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

I have a couple questions on free agency:
-Is the issue fixed where around 2016/2017 players get one offer for half of what they should get for only one year?
-Are players more likely to leave for free agency than resign within 2 days like last year?
-Can more than 3 teams offer contracts now?

Players will now go into hall immediately after they retire.

Are you allowed to talk about what "Twitter in The Show" is about from the fact sheet.
Is that just something where you can post directly to twitter from in-game or is there actually a virtual twitter world in franchise?

Thank goodness.

I thought there was a five-year waiting period for the Hall.

Yeah, but most people don't get that deep into franchise and they want instant gratification

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

There is a waiting period in baseball as well as most major sports. It was my suggestion to have it at the end of the season after a player retires and qualifies. This allows people to see who makes it. They now also keep all hall of famers on a screen so if you play 20 seasons you can look at all of the hall of famers.

Still, it's not even remotely realistic... plus, they had a screen already, that isn't a new feature.

I'm with seanjeezy.
