2019 - No SEASON Mode? Thoughts...

[Dolenz]

My thought is that once they removed it that I never expected to see it return. So it does not surprise me that it is missing.

I used to play season mode in older games, but when I began to have more free time at home as a freelancer, I could do franchise (I'm average 2-3 seasons now). I feel season shouldn't be separated to begin with. It should be in franchise as an option. It should be you choose franchise and you select franchise (play up to 30 seasons) or season (play just one). I never understood why it was a separate mode. It's not like it's taking up a lot of resources. I feel the pain of season guys for sure. Not everyone is lucky like me to work at home and have free time out of the a**. People have other commitments. It's mind-boggling why they took it out, but I feel if they do bring it back, it should be a part of franchise as an option.

Complete stupidity but nothing surprising

I think it really stinks.

In the year 2019, you can't just play a single season worth of baseball games in a AAA title on the PS4. That's a really weird state of affairs we find ourselves in. Almost makes me question if SKYNET has taken over Sony's telemetry system.

ya it's gone.

but if i'm forced to play franchise at least give me an option to change the # of games I play.

Do we know if we are forced once again to play 162 games in franchise?

I don't play, and never played Season Mode, so I don't know how accurate this statement will be, but I think that if they added the option to reduce the number of games in franchise mode, that would help ease some of the pain/frustration. Now I understand that franchise mode and season mode had more differences than just the number of games, but from the comments I've seen, the number of required games to play to get through a season seems to be the biggest draw for season mode players. Again, I could be completely off in that thinking.

You are spot on! I didn´t buy last years version because i just don´t have the time to play 162 games, and simulating games just absolutely kills the immersion factor for me.



To be able to play a 30 game season was perfect, and that´s why im still holding to MLB 17, but the rosters aren´t there for the new season so that is a huge bummer...

I just feel like most companies are pissing on the "older" gamer who wants the potential of simplification...

In another thread I've shared I'm 46 - have a life that pulls me in many directions. I just want to play a single season. I don't care about Spring Training (though having an option to sift through cuts & NRI's for the last week might be a fun option). But I don't care about future contracts, etc - just want to play a season.

And MOSTLY because of the historical rosters and their value. I want to play ONE season from a full historical roster. And since SDS provides us with the "historical" option in roster searches / creations - and since they MARKET the historical players - they MUST KNOW we want to use full historical rosters within the game modes. Season Mode is THE PERFECT way to use them.

Just frustrating... Appreciate the thoughts here.

MK I play single seasons with classic rosters in franchise mode.

All the time.

I don’t understand your frustration in that regard.
