    Who has the best franchise mode? best game?

    Ive been on ASB for the past two years and Im wondering do any of the newer games out have good franchise modes a-la madden... with real salaries and good minor league systems/drafts etc... this is what Ive always wanted from a baseball game.

    Re: Who has the best franchise mode? best game?

    There is a real debate right now whether MVP or WSB is better. I have both games and owned WSB last year. My favorite this year is MVP. It's just flat out fun to play. The franchise mode is extremely deep. There are a few things that MVP doesn't have (fantasy draft, old / negro league players, career stats) but I can live without those. I would like to see the fantasy draft in next year's game. One think that MVP does have is the franchise goals that have to be met in 10 seasons. The momentum meter is also pretty cool, as is the ability to jump right into a game that you are simming.

        ASB still is the deepest mode. The others are good though, but not as deep as ASB>

            Yeah, from what I've seen so far of the game, ASB still has the deepest franchise mode of any of the titles released this year ...

                ASb might have the deepest franchise mode, but it's not the best game out right now. It's either MVP or WSB. I'm leaning towards WSB but I haven't played neither so I'm just guessing from the impressions I read about the both games.

                    Also, If you have played ASB for the past two years and are enjoying it, why not stay with it. It all ready has the deepest franchise as I heard out of all the baseball titles with the exception of IP, and since you're looking for the best franchise mode, it's a no brainer.

                            Same here. I was very much anti-ASB last year, and I think this year's version might be the best baseball game out there...go figure.
