MLB The Show 19 Franchise Mode Review: A Wishlist for 2020

Elliot, great post. But doesn't this fall on deaf ears? we've been deserving of these changes for YEARS, yet SDS makes it all about the money with DD*

Sounds like you want a new game.

I am pretty shocked at how shallow franchise mode is from what I been reading. I was expecting much more when i first started looking into this game recently. This mode seems to be about 5 to 10 years behind other games with a franchise type mode.

Yeah I guess that's why it's called a "wish" list. It's cheaper than throwing pennies in a well, and less disturbing than rubbing a dev's lamp. If i thought it would come true i wouldn't have listed what I listed. I would have simply wished for a million more wishes.

Maybe they're going with an "opener" strategy lol

Sadly, they don't have a long reliever so instead burnt their entire pen in the first game of our 3 game series. A mistake compounded by them pinch hitting for Samardjzia in the 2nd inning of game 2 because he'd given up 4 runs.

Start it on the path of being as fleshed out and deep as NBA 2k's franchise mode. That is my wish.

Wishlist? Franchise mode is perfect guys....that's why they didn't need to add anything to it for years.

LOL ...elephant in the room.* CBA will always be there, it is like you are giving SDS an excuse not to upgrade franchise mode.* SDS is always behind baseball* rule changes, instant replay etc.* At least try* to implement game changes the following year.* SDS should just scrap video replays of close plays if they cannot do it right.*
