So I don't think its a stretch to think they could also export it out of MLB 12, 13, 14 via the server side data, and the just import a flattened one layer image into future versions. Its just an image file at that point. If you are resticting it to local save file import/export than yes it is impossible to go back and make MLB 13 saves compatible with MLB 14, or MLB 14 compatible with MLB 13 saves at this point if they haven't done it this year. If that is the case than yeah, we have to move on from that dream. But I would gladly take a much lesser import option in the form of just a flattened one layer image.

I hope I'm not misunderstanding the conversation. Anyways,I'm thinking they can't use flattened images in the game itself.

All of this online/dynasty stuff seems like fluff to me. Baseball fans are more about playing the actual game on the field. Give me perfect presentation, graphics, animations, weather, and commentary before any of the other gimmicky features.

He said offline franchise. They have not discussed that yet.

That would be really...odd if true. There are plenty of flat images in the game, at least from the naked eye. It doesn't have to be a PNG, just whatever format that they use in the game.

I'm using flat to describe any image that isn't made of multiple layers. In the editor the logo is presented as something similar to photoshop where you can manipulate each layer or layer group. You can flatten groups of layers into one in the editor even.

In photoshop once you export that image, as a JPEG, PNG, GIF, whatever it is I'd consider that a flat image.

I've tried searching but haven't been able to find a definitive answer. If I start a DD team on PS3 version, will I be able to carry that over on PS4? I know franchise and RTTS carry over. I don't want to take the time to make a DD team for PS3 if I'll have to start over when PS4 comes out.

It takes time and effort, but you can definitely work some magic in the logo editor.

I made this replica of a famous snack mascot in about an hour:

I just wish the physical logo space was a bit larger so I could fit his legs into the frame.
