I agree with this. There really wasn’t a whole lot promised, but they delivered on the “leaks.”

I was really hoping they mentioned adjusted season length to franchise. Ever since the season mode crowd became extinct its been tough to find a mode to land in. Hopefully the online league setup brings back a piece that has been missing. I am not expecting online franchise either and actually don’t want that setup because it was a job to figure out the work arounds just to make it operate.

It is to me. I waited for their twitch stream to confirm and pre-ordered today. Plus Glavine, Maddux and Smoltz for legends. This will probably be my last until I get a PS5 in the future.

But that being said, I'm excited because I see this is only the beginning and a major step in the right direction of us finally getting the franchise mode we all want. As far as full minors goes, yes, we had full minors from the great guys here at OSFM, but they were limited because there was no player audio and things of that nature tied to them. We also had to wait for them to get finished and drop before we could use them. Now we get them straight from day 1 of the game release and we get audio and face scans tied to some of them. Meaning that the elite prospects have player specific story lines that will be tied into the franchise mode. That's huge IMO. We all want more from The Show but I'm not gonna dump on the team for finally putting in some version of relocation and rebranding that we've all wanted for years. It's a major step in the right direction and only the beginning. I don't claim to know anything about video game development and what all goes into it and what the Sony guys are dealing with so I'm not gonna sit here and claim they can do this or do that or should have fixed this or that. I applaud them for a major step in the right direction.

Plus we don’t have to wait until May to get them now. It was cool they had Ridin and knight work on the rosters

Ridin and team "helped" with the rosters. They had input but SCEA put final touches on the inaccuracies.

As far as minor leagues...I thought I saw on stream that you will be able to use Minor League teams in Franchise..I hope so..if anyone can confirm it’s appreciated..

In the stream did they not say you had to go through one season before rebranding? then have to export the team? if so it will be a long workaround and really be annoying.

Basically youd have to start a season control all the teams, have trades and injuries off, then rebrand and export a bunch of teams, THAN restart a franchise?

am I wrong?

if this is the case thats some lazy work/ bad prioritzing on SDS
