Most important things needed in franchise

Re: Most important things needed in franchise

i want a cleaner interface. it was way to tedious surfing around through stats and standings, with last years version. ESPN CH has really clean menu's and display the stats very well. hopefully that bleeds on over to the baseball game.

Re: Most important things needed in franchise

This game is by far the best baseball game for franchise mode. I think if these idea's could be implemented this game would be the choice of fantasy nuts worldwide.

- Deeper minor leagues An absolute must! I would love to see different levels of minor league but more importantly stats need to be simmed for the players - just this addition would double the worth of the game

- Harder to make stars its way to easy to draft and create stars and after several years it shows

- Less money Just because the Pirates win 60 games doesn't mean ther budget would double. Goes with the overall feeling that this game is too much too easy

- Realistic front office This is also a must. i would love to see an arbitration engine somehow and there should be type A,B etc free agents and supplemental draft picks accordingly. Also the minor league draft should be mid yr instead of at the end and a rule V draft would be appropriate

- Rookies game or a spring training option to be able to view and play with prospects without activating their contract

- Better trade AI its like playing fantasy baseball with a ten yr old

- Injuries need to be much more realistic. Young pitchers especially - i would love to see some sort of moniter for pitch counts on younger pitchers making them more of an injury risk

- Expansion would improve the longevity of the game

- Scouting reports become very redundant especially in the amateur draft. i would like to see real scouting reports and for the draft at least i would like to see the 20-80 scouting on the report - and not see the actual player statistics till after i drafted possibly - also would love to see signing bonuses on first round draft picks and/or top picks demanding contracts

I would also like to see more options in the coaches corner - more details from the scouts and manager possibly marking players bad for chemistry - more/better sliders - also the scout pop ups should be a little more detailed -

not sure if any of the actual devs will read this but i hope if they do some of these ideas can be discussed because it would make this games franchise mode steps above the rest
