I much prefer season mode to franchise.
• Season mode should be for one year, and only one year. At the end of the season, whether you’ve won the World Series or finished 72-90, display a “Thanks for playing” and return to the main menu.
iI don't find this needed in the least. I could always have my wife or neighbor tell me this if I ever did, though
• The only players available to Season mode should be the 1,200 players in the teams’ 40-man rosters.
This is already very doable, I've imported zero overall, 45 year old, zero potential players with no name over anyone I don't want other teams to sign.
• Season mode should not include Spring Training, the June draft, contract extensions, free agent signings, or manager hirings/firings.
I can skip each of these things in 2 seconds flat.
• Provide the option to enable or disable CPU trading amongst the 40-man rosters, reliant upon the user’s sliders.Again, already done.
• Provide the option to enable or disable injuries, reliant upon the user’s sliders.
Done
• Provide the option to start Season mode with a current Live Roster, a user’s saved roster, or an official SCEA Opening Day roster.
Done
Now season mode is far far from perfect, just things that I want are higher priority, for me.
No custom leagues? Crazy.
Can't rename mgrs, coaches, umps? This makes me pull my hair out.
Can't edit service time? Please, please add this SDS!
There are many, many more things I want so I can be fully immersed in a season, but I won't rant anymore, for now
