Franchise - Previous WS Champs?

[meetjsquared]

Thanks everyone for all the input. I just did a double check, since it was Neil Walker on the Yankees as WS MVP (I know, right?) and checked their total team WS, which was 28 (and they currently have 27 IRL). Just wish I thought to keep track before; it's pretty frustrating trying to piece the previous year postseason picture together after the fact by looking at the previous season standings and I'll never know what the actual series records were.

One other feature I wish was implemented is individual awards noted via player card. I haven't played Madden in 4-5 years but I remember them having a feature that showed all awards won during your career. It'd be nice to pull up the player card when looking at free agents/trades to see if they won any GG/SS/ROY/batting crown/etc., especially in years 3+ of your franchise when there are more younger players that are new to me and the awards don't show you past those 3 years.

I want awards on player cards as well.

Would also like a screen that shows player milestones (1,000th hit, no hitter thrown, etc...)

With the addition of carryover saves in '14, I thought this type of stuff would be in the game sooner rather than later since players could have their own history carried over year to year.

I'm still playing Madden 12 and the league history information is fantastic. Wish it was in the Show to that level as Countryboy indicated since I have a carryover from 14 I hoped all history would be there.

As far as WS MVP, the O's won my world series last year and David Lough was the MVP hitting 0.350 with no homers and five RBI. This was over Davis and Trumbo who hit 4 and 5 homers each and drove in more runs each. The game selects an MVP for you, not quite sure why they select the guy they do, however!

Once you get into the next season it's rally as if the one before it never happens. Sure there's some player stats but ultimately, no real momentum, no real history.

Yes this. This would make the Show loads more immersive. I feel as if this is something that should be a focus for them down the road. But sadly, I'm sure it'll get neglected again next year.
