Franchise mode is the greatest thing to happen to baseball video games since All-Star Baseball on the Nintendo. I am such a stat nut that I used to actually play my own version of "franchise mode" before it was ever conceived on the actual games. Keeping my own records of how old players were, how many years they have played, and even conducting my own trades were just a few of the things I used to do while playing old ball games like Sports Talk Baseball and Tony LaRussa '95. (I know I'm pathetic)
With all the next-generation games, I no longer have to manually track everything as I had to do when I was younger, and thank goodness for that because I would be the most pathetic college student in the world if I had binder after binder of video game baseball stats.
Franchise mode is great but the one thing I would love to see within the next 2 or three years is baseball teams being sold and relocated. Of course this should not happen very often, every 5-10 years at the most but I think it would be awesome. WSB already acknowledges budgets and income which could be taken into account when a team was to be sold.
Another thing that goes right along with relocating is for SEGA or whoever it may be to include a stadium designer feature. I'm suprised we haven't seen this yet. That would be a feature that would put a game head and shoulders above the competition. Teams could also bid for new stadiums that are not relocating but are in need of a new facility.
I'm a Cubs fan and I love Wrigley field, but it won't be there forever. Think about how cool it would be to have the option of designing a new stadium for the Cubbies in 2005. Well, just an idea, thought I might throw it out there in hopes that I will see it one day.
GO CUBS
