At this point based on history....I have tempered my expectations in that regard. But where my expectations are never lowered is the consistent improvement to gameplay. And they have delivered in that regard for me personally. Not everyone will agree with that.....but I really don't care. I only care what I think. I am playing 19 hardcore. I have played every single release starting with 09 year round. Nothing has changed in that regard. And that is a testament to how great of a sports game The Show is. The franchise improvements have been small compared to the innovative improvements of their main modes, which is Diamond Dynasty and RTTS. That is what the kids play gentlemen. It is what it is.

Armor, I'm sure you posted many times before, but (just curious) what's your game mode of choice for MLBTS?

I agree with everything you say. I’ve played more of this game year round than probably 90% of those here playing the game and continue to spend most of my gaming time with it. What I won’t do however is pay for the same game next year that I already have now and in the absence of some big franchise updates, that is what the game would be to me.

I can’t disagree with that sentiment. Everyone can do whatever they want with their own hard earned money.

I hope they do some meaningful updates to franchise. But with PS5 coming 2020 Christmas.....doubtful.

Curious to see if The Show 21 follows the port that was 14 when they first moved to PS4.

The Show was what got me to be an early adopter of the PS4 however if The Show 21 is a nothing more than a port I may delay getting a PS5.

Remains to be seen.

Really simple request.

Allow for rotating inter-league schedules.

I am not asking for much here. I love carry over franchise.....but I wait to carry over to the next iteration (I save it in December). Only because I want the rotating inter-league schedule.

Yeah its that important. Keeps franchise fresh when doing multi year franchise.

I’d buy the most expensive addition if it came with that feature. It shouldn’t been implemented at least 15 years ago.

Technical issues from what I remember is the issue that has prevented this from happening.

Armor, since you probably qualify as a franchise expert here (they are many others I'm sure), have you or do you notice any issues/errors while resuming or carrying over a franchise year after year with each new iteration of The Show?
