Re-Vamp franchise mode for the love of God. Franchise mode has become broken

[Nwo4Life75]

Well I'm very excited about MLB The Show 15. I'm hoping they will spill the beans about a much improved franchise mode that has been aching for a new coat of paint and presentation,maybe a full deal with Nike! Definitely want retractable roof stadiums to finally having the option of playing in them closed or open! I think everybody out there can't agree on that!

I want them to make the Franchise mode more like NBA 2k and Madden,more NBA 2k maybe! It definitely needs to be fixed big time! Long overdue!

I'd like timing hitting to be a bit more generous. '14 made several improvements when the user is on offense eg more walks, more stolen bases, fewer strikeouts - in all those areas I got sensible stats over the season. BUT I had one of the worst team batting avges (even with sliders in my favour) and only my pitching made me competitive. I still give up too few walks when pitching, but it's hard for the devs to cure this without the user feeling he is being denied control.

Other things - I would like the AI managers to make better decisions - when to bring on relievers etc. Crowd reactions are pretty good but could still do with improvement eg a full house should sound more awesome than a small crowd; I can't hear any difference at the moment.

The two biggest things for me are: A more story like RTTS, aka NBA 2k. And of course, a much improved commentary presentation.

Count me in on the re-vamped franchise mode. I don't need anything earth shattering but just some freshening up. Things like, more contract options, minor league contracts, opt-outs, extensions (in season/mid-contract) etc. Better stat tracking for previous seasons (minor league and ML stats). More immersion in my franchise. Bring back the in-game trade announcements, newspaper of MLB highlights, better commentary and any of the already mentioned upgrades.

please please improve trade logic and free agency logic. Although we have 30 team control to help this, I think its important. I cant tolerate Scherzer signing with COL, or Lester to MIN.
