Ha! 30 split-personalities pretty much summed up my league. I'm over 50 and yeah, sometimes I just wanna wreck the CPU. We played with mostly adults (and one or two really respectful older teens). It's a great core group. Play Madden, MLB '14-17 and we even did FIFA competitions.

Not even an online Franchise guy and never will be, but they took my Season mode away last year and came for others this year. They're no different than any other sports game out right now either, which is unfortunately the future. That's why I am already happy with just new uniforms. Keep low expectations - Suffer less disappointment.

On Line Franchise DLC. $4.99 per season, $39.99 Year long pass. Or make it like fantasy baseball hosts and charge the league as a whole.

If it's not DD, the devs don't care.

is anyone really surprised by this??

I am a offline guy, but I can really understand peoples frustration.

sporting games are really on the decline. it aint about the sport anymore it's about the fantasy and cards

The best thing for The Show, in terms of game quality and content, would be MVP Baseball or MLB 2k being revived. Just for the sake of competition enhancing their own game.

I know there’s RBI Baseball but it’s not a major title.

They will be replaced with other items. Guaranteed.

I've got MLB 2k12 in my disc drive on my PC and don't get me wrong, it has problems. Big problems. There's no mystery why the show beat it years ago. It was the better game. (Problem is its still that same game.)

But man, it's smooth as butter and those pitching gestures are just irreplaceable.

Incidentally, MLB 2k is to 2k what Online Franchise is to SCEA, ha.
