Community Day....FRANCHISE and EDITOR

[Geolink]

Can we resign from an organization and be able to sign to interested teams looking for a new G.M.?

If they are fictitional names....are they changable via edit coach option? Also..is there a kings court in safeco field's left field when king felix is pitching? (Would guess no)

Wedge signed October 18th, and was the coach all of 2011, Wak was Fired Auguest 9th, 2010, just saying, anyway, like everyone else, can we have a 2 for 1 or more trades, can we talk players out of retirement, can we extend contarcts mid season?

Will there be an option to look at any players baseball card and will it have all the same stats you would get on a real Tops baseball card? Like can you see the players stats for every team and year he played?

PLAYER EDITOR:

Will it be possible for them to add FIRST NAMES to the selectable list of Last Names for audio?

The commentators already refer to players by Last Name, even if you don't select a first name. That's great, except for many players their first name is the only thing available in the commentary so we never hear our name. The names are already in there, and the game is already programmed to use the list of last names for PBP.

So by adding first names to the list of last names, I could set my LAST name in the commentary to "Chris" -- which would be a nice change of pace from Vasgersian calling me "Fatty".

Didn't they say last year that 2011 was suppose to be improvements to gameplay and online and 2012 was suppose to be all Franchise mode? I hope they kept their word.

I guess you haven't been following the many threads in which we've been discussing that with the Vita development, franchise is getting some work(GM AI(general)...lingering bugs(we know the one!).....lineup work.....trade AI and maybe a few little newbies stuck in there!)....but the bigger change(which Aaron will now be handling with his team...replacing Kolbe) is hoped for in '13.
Unfortunate....but reality.
Franchise mode will definitely have a different feel in terms of the the workings of it....but in speaking with Aaron about the chance he's getting to move franchise in a new direction in a much bigger way....he needed a complete year with his attention set almost entirely on that. He was doing a heavy amount of work for the Vita and it didn't make sense to devote time to changes for '12 that would probably be changed for '13.

Just FYI......

Very unfortunate news...

I don't know how much commentary you will be able to hear while you are there, but it would be nice to know to what extent the franchise commentary has improved (ala mentioning in season stats).

I need more immersion in my franchise.
