Re: MLB 13 The Show Video and Blog - Franchise Mode

I'll be playing a lot more than 162 games!!!


I'm not worried about the numbers. They will be nice if they show in attributes like baserunning ability or contact vs. L. I just ignore the overall because you can miss out on some useful situational bench players that way.

RUSSELL & WOODWEAVER: I have to side with seanjeezy here. It is great that letter grades are affected by position (which is awesome btw) but it would be nice to have some input, maybe just the most egregious players, for the roster updates. You guys do so much for us and listen to us more than any devs I've known and it is soooo appreciated!!! I'm not asking for a mile from the inch you've given but it is for your benefit as well since the OSFM rosters add so much replay value and furthers sales from previous owners...

I was not aware of this forum last year so help me with something. I have read references to " Knight's Roster" and the "Operation Sports Franchise Mode Rosters". What are these rosters and how are they loaded into franchise mode? Thanks for your patience with this "newbie"!!!

No....it's just the same template.

If there is not an approved tag....no feed.(perhaps in the future though?)

Will the player's card still have an empty twitter panel though? From the twitter feature blog it seemed like they added a whole new panel to the player cards for twitter.

From what I remember yes. Any player that does not use twitter, or generated players will have a blank panel.

Hmm, what I thought would happen, but that's odd they would just leave the blank panel there. Just to confirm, there is no way to get rid of that panel? As in just disable twitter. I think it was already said that it can't be turned off, but I can't remember now for sure.

nice and gold glove is better than in the past where it would just start with first team alphabetically in each league?

Gold Glove winners do seem a little better this year; as in, 3/4 of the top 3's in every AL category weren't always from the Orioles and the Red Sox. LOL! I saw a handful of categories over my time at CD that didn't even have an "alphabetized" representative.

That said, I still saw this a little bit of it, here and there, throughout my various sims, though not as bad as in 12 and prior.

I think the system uses alphabetizing to break up the players that are tied in each of their respective catagories. I'd have to ask Ramone to get a definite on that, but I'm fairly certain that this is how it works but I could be wrong.

Can someone please say if they added an awards tracker to individual player cards, and redid the gold glove awards. It seemed like in the past players received gold gloves based on team alphabetical order. Like have UZR, ZR, and RF determine who get's the gold gloves, rather than the generic fielding percentage. It seems small, but a feature I think has been overlooked.

Noticed there are no rings around the bats. That is a detail freaks dream come true!

And of course, it's still available as an option. You can even have a two-tone bat with no ring, like some players have.

Has there been any info on additional franchise commentary and overlays? Additional commentary based on the context of ones franchise can significantly improve the experience.
I'm actually a bit surprised they had such a focus on scouting.. Was this something the community had been pushing for?
Personally I'd prefer the option to import a draft class, especially when we spend countless hours replacing all the fake players in the game.

That's the operative word. They can't please every person every year.

YEP, each position has an award winner.

That is incredible news. This alone sold me. As if I wasn't sold already. Bye Bye 80 bucks.
