I do not believe that is true. There are inherent differences to offline and online. There are advantages and disadvantages to each, depending on what and how you prefer to run your franchise.

Some things that offline franchise does, would not necessarily make sense to do in the same fashion online. The Off season comes to mind here.

People will have to evaluate the modes and see where they find the most value to the way they desire to play the game.

Again, the issue is not that people are upset that work went into Online Franchise, I'm sure many are happy for it as I am and will use it. I've already joined a league with you in it as well. But it has created a situation where people need to choose between two versions of single player franchise with different features (some core to the experience like how the CPU interacts with the player).

Well said MrOldboy. Hustlinowl needs to relax and embrace all the online franchise upgrades, (great news for online players ) and let the offline users voice concerns.

Some of the changes made it into offline but not all. I do agree, the ps3 is finished and I doubt they are adding any features to the ps4 at this point. They are testing gameplay and finishing the stadiums.

I thought franchise players played the most games in The Show, according to Russell less than 10% are franchise. I will give RTTS a shot this year and see what I have been missing.

That number is a bit misleading though, he said of all the games played that were tracked 90% of them were RTTS games.

Think about how many more games a RTTS player gets through compared to a Franchise or online player.

I know that RTTS games are by far the largest % of my games, but that is because you cannot sim them and still get enough training points. You have to play the games and they go very fast. Especially when you turn off fielding and baserunning. With franchise and DD there is a lot more time managing your team, much longer games and no penalty for simming games.

If I think about it I've probably spend about 50% of my time in franchise, 30% DD and 20% RTTS. Not counting editing rosters, etc.

But if I think about the # of games I play, RTTS is way more than the other two combined and probably does look something like 90%, but its only a small part of my time.

Now with player lock and more training points for simming in RTTS I wonder how far that number will skew this year.
