No offense whatsoever to diamond dynasty or rtts players because the rpg stuff is popular and the more people who buy the game the better for everybody but - just my opinion - there should be one mode which is "clean" and as close to IRL as possible. They go to great lengths to get things like uniforms, ball spin, weather effects, etc as identical as possible to real life and then introduce missions into franchise? It seems like a step in the opposite direction of everything else they are doing.

I would think franchise missions may not actually affect your actually franchise I think you can get stubs and tickets or cards and use them however you want. I play franchise and DD so I like being able to collect while I play franchise and like most features in the show its probably completely optional I don't think it would just give you an advantage in your franchise

Really simple don't do them.

but the rewards are probably just XP and stubs and or packs or cards... i think their intention is to be able to earn rewards in all game modes.

As someone who's a long-time franchise/dynasty/season player dating all the way back to Tony LaRussa Baseball days, i'm about as purist as it can get...



And even I found myself addicted to Missions in DD later in the season last year. I was building a faux Expos, and was busting my butt grinding to get those flashback Dawson, Gary Carter, Cliff Floyd, flashback Russell Martin, Grady Sizemore, Bartolo Colon, Brandon Phillips, Cliff Lee, Ian Desmond, Ryan Zimmerman bonuses among others.


Loved EVERY SECOND OF IT


Most fun i'd had in a baseball game since the invention of Season/Franchise stat tracking back in the 90s.
