Most important things needed in franchise

[MuffinMcFluffin]

I have three very important things that I need for franchise mode to be successful:

1) Different schedules every year (not like WSB 2K3's style, I mean DIFFERENT schedules every year).

2) Trading Block

3) Being able to resign people before their last year, and being able to talk people out of retirement.


Those three are very key for ESPN Baseball, and I hope that they can finally add this stuff, because it's pretty much necessary now.

Actually, I could just have that, and the new franchise menus, and a Karl Ravech highlight show, and I would just be VERY happy with the franchise mode. I wouldn't need anything else.

What is everyone else's top 3 needs for franchise?

Re: Most important things needed in franchise

I want all your suggestions and then my 3

1) Playable Spring Training which is used to able improve ratings of younger players.
2) AAA, AA, and A minor league system.
3) Ability to build new stadium (long shot but would be cool)

They should also include a highlight show and better playoff atmosphere for example on field graphics like the World Series logo behind home plate and other stuff like that.

Well, considering I mean franchise specifically, World Series and highlights and stuff doesn't have to count considering you can do that in just seasonal play. but the minor league thing could also just be season thing, but I guess that counts as franchise.

And the create a stadium mode needs to be very... VERY good for a baseball game, meaning if it's even 3x better than Madden's, it's STILL not good enough. Baseball is a lot more different when it comes to stadiums (and creating one). Dimenions and wall height matters, and so do the stands, and what's outside of the stadium, and the look and location of the scoreboard, and the center field backdrop, and everything else. Baseball stadiums are so much more diverse... whereas if we had a create a stadium, you shouldn't only be limited to making a Veterans Stadium, Busch Stadium or Oakland Coliseum (which is pretty hard to make also), you should be able to make a Shea Stadium or a Bank One Ballpark, or even a SBC Park, you know? make it VERY diverse. Which is why if and when they have it, it needs to be THAT deep, and that's why they shouldn't have it in this year's game if it isn't that deep.

No offense, it's a great idea that I've been waiting for forever, but I think we'll have to pray on it being made on a next gen console.

Re: Most important things needed in franchise

The frachinse is a big part of my decision between MVP and ESPN.

I think create a stadium would be a big plus. If ESPN could steal some of the ideas that is in Madden that would be great.

1) Different scheudles each year(not like wsb2k3)
2) Real minor leaguers and farm system
3) Trade Block

There is probably a lot ideas but I can't think of them right now.
