Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Thanks for all the input guys.

Can anyone expand in detail upon the new additions to the Fast Forward Option that we have while playing a game?

Thanks.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

No...there are no MLB scouts as of yet...we are alluding that it could be implemented to add a little "fog of war" to ratings rather than hiding them altogether.

seanjeezy
Yes...I see what you mean....
(I also see that you guys are nuts!)

Lol wait til we start editing on the PS4... It'll probably be something like wanting a create-a-beard mode...

Thanks.

When you go to the "SIM TO" option in the pause menu now...
Instead of just getting to that inning/half inning you know get a screen that shows the plays happening in the sim.
There is an option to run it SLOW-NORMAL-FAST(it's set to fast every time ...no way to keep it slow and you'll want it slow. )
While it doesn't stop at every AB....there is a chance to jump back into the game at any time now...by hitting triangle and then X(to continue).
There are no options to make moves in that screen(you'll have to jump in), but I hope they add that in the future.

I tried asking this in the graphics section, but can anyone tell me how the cyber faces look after a, trade? Do the players actually look like themselves? Thanks

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Can we edit potential on players during the franchise?

Can we import players during the franchise?

Can we edit the players within the draft?

Can we edit the coaches?

Are new hairstyles fade/afro/ available?

Can we create uniforms fro MLB teams?

Can we edit the stats of an imported player?

Is there a new stirrup option where it is not all the way up to the knee? Think mid 80's

Can we import and export full teams ie 90 man rosters?

Can we create a stadium?

No to all of these


After completing a fantasy draft, will the CPU still put players on the 40-man roster for you or can you do this by yourself? It was a bit irritating in the past to have the CPU put prospects who were still many years away from making it to the show on the 40-man and taking a spot away from veterans.

Same

- Can we control player retirements - I have found while the draft has an effect, I have simmed through the 2012 season with the same roster several times and always have different results of who retires, for example on one sim I had Halladay, Jeter, Arod, Konerko all retire and then sim again with the same roster to have Arod and Furcal be the only "stars" to retire.k

Only by making sure they have a contract to the year you wouldn't mind them retiring until.(you can use the FA3 list to do that for length still)

- Is there a way we can edit managers/coaches not just names and faces but coaching skills? It drive me nuts that when hiring a pitching coach the best guys out there are former hitting coaches and vice versa or a guy that is a very good coach has a terrible rating that will bring your team down. Also as in previous versions if a coach is hired after a certain date they don't get included in the game - I am sure most Blue Jays fans would love to have John Gibbons back in the game and be able to fire him if he doesn't succeed (segway to next question)
Not yet....not out of the question for '14...we might see all new coaching manger options/ratings for '14

- Is there a way we can fire and hire coaches during a season instead of waiting to do it in the offseason
Not in '13...I'm pretty sure it will be back in '14 as well as GM goals and some new additions!

- Again I may be asking too much here, but ability to create a stadium similar to what MVP had. I am sure I am not the only one who gets sick of their teams stadium after a season or 2 in franchise and would love to give their team a fresh look - I guess this is similar to the requests for create a uniform.
A stadium creator that would create stadiums to the detail of those in the game...no.
But...I have to admit...there was some talk of ideas of pre-set stadium builder. Just talk, but it shows it's not impossible on a less fully detailed level.

- Last but not least - add DH as a position so we don't have to constantly have to adjust team lineups (ie David Ortiz and Travis Hafner always end up as their team's defensive 1B in the lineup)

No....I know what you're saying and they actually had it in(not in a release) 3 years ago, but it was screwing up the trades and roster logic as NL teams wouldn't look at those players due to primary position that doesn't exist in the logic really.(not even for AL teams.) Kolbe wanted to work it back in......rewriting some stuff....but it never happened.

Glitch

- many times lately when I have been using my most current franchise when I try to move a player between the minors and MLB roster the game freezes - I have only noticed this during spring training. It also happens sometimes when I try to adjust a teams lineup.

I couldn't recreate this at CD. I didn't go nuts trying though

- Will there be an ability to import players into a franchise that is already started?
No

New suggestion: Add in the Sandlot crew, with their field, and the beast, and let us play the kids from the other town who play ball like girls and then include the option to have smores in the treehouse after the game.

Did that make it in the game?
Bro......if you only knew.

1- Will features from "11" (that were missing in "12") be again present in "13"? Ex: accumulating "K's" @ AT&T's brick wall vanished in "12"
I believe theSlab said it is in

2- probably shouldn't ask, as you're certain to check & report back... But, will there be "enhanced" line-up logic once completing (or fast forwarding) spring training?
The CPU will still make it's decisions if it is left to do so.

3- how will "13" slider effects differ (or not differ) from "12"? IE: will "12"sliders play the same way in "13"
Sliders are the same for the most part. Some may have been tweaked from feedback at CD...we won't know for sure until release

Will retired players become coaches?
No...but definitely not out of the question in the future releases!

- Will the "training" aspect be different this year? Rather than just "check marks" and not knowing what each one specifically does for each player.
DEFINITELY. I'll post more after the franchise blog...but training will actually be fun to do.....and definitely more intuitive

-Any change to "scouting reports" on players?
No....except for scouting for the draft

-Any change to the process of scouting players for the upcoming drafts?
Yes...a LOT

-Will there be the possibility to re-sign players mid-season?
Not yet....they would need to re-write the logic for the CPU as well and the long term roster/team strategy for teams.(not a bad thing)


More later....

I think they look very good.
You'll know who they are I would say.

In one of the trailers you can see Pence's cyberface. Not a great shot. Were there anymore shown in videos?

Thank you. I thought Andy Pettitte looked great last year as well as Bryce Harper. Weren't you the one that created Harper?

[Lovesports]

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Yea Hunter looks a bit generic and not really like himself IMO. It's subjective though.

It might be an old cyberface though since that was one of the first trailers released. Just the only example I remember seeing.

Wasn't there a big a year or so ago that let you make every player use a cyberface? I can't find that thread, but I know it happened.

No...that was Aroid.....
I did do a good Pettite...but we may have used Aroid's for that as well.

It's all going to depend on the face to start....
Maybe it was Pence circa this...!!

For like the 9,000th time you guys keep bringing up old pics and videos as a reference. The reveal trailer is demo footage of the game that was taken months ago. I'd slow down before you pull the trigger. BTW that Hunter Pence cyberface is better than the cyberfaces that are used in 12, but to each his own.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Ahah, found that thread.

If I had to guess it might look like this.

Not bad actually on some of them. Look at Lincecum on the Rays and Manny on the Giants.

Re: Community Day 2013 - FRANCHISE MODE/EDITOR

Knight,

Did you get any insight on how long it takes the SCEA team to create all the players for the upcoming season and if they have a different tool to do so?
