I simulated 30 years in Franchise Mode to test progression. Here are the results.

Great information. Numbers look pretty good.

Just a question, what happens when you go past 2045, like does a message pop up if you try to simulate past that?

Thank you for all of the work that was put into that. I'll likely never go past five or six seasons, even in the most extreme example of my own play, but its good to know that in that time frame, the ratings don't move wildly in one direction or the other.

Great stuff. Thanks for doing this. It is very helpful.

Good to see that a fair number of guys hit over .300 several years into the franchise. I did about 16 years of a franchise in The Show '15 and by the time I got to the 8th or 9th year, hardly any guys were hitting over .300. One year, the American League only had one guy over .300 and he won the batting title with a .304 average. Something like that hasn't happened since 1968.

Is the number of A & B prospects toned down any this year? That contributed the most to the souped up pitching staffs.

Great info. The old prospects directly ties into my issue with the draft pool process in this game.

SCEA please take a look at that!

So editing stamina & age appear to need clear fixing.

Wow, this is definitely encouraging for long-term franchise value. Usually there is always something wrong from ridiculous pitcher ERA's to overall ratings being too inflated, this looks fairly stable across the board. Thanks for the work!
