The Future of Franchise Mode in MLB The Show 21 and Beyond

[TheBrew101]

I would like OTTP baseball and The Show to somehow combine.* *That would be the ultimate baseball experience.* *Give me all the things in OTTP and let me play out those games in MLB The Show.*

As someone mentioned, one of the problems is that we all want different things from franchise. While I think that the ability to relocate and a stadium builder would be neat features, and these would be enough for some, they aren't features that would get me to buy the game again for the first time in years.

For myself better trade logic, scouting and development are all much more important features of a deep franchise.

Unfortunately, I think that the former is a much easier lever to pull for them. An easy "win" to show that they finally threw a bone to franchise.

I'll hope to be pleasantly surprised when franchise info does get released, but I've just come to accept that sds isn't making a baseball game for me anymore.

You know what franchise really needs to do is get rid of the XP pop up at the end of an inning. I can guarantee even if xp was connected to a franchise I don't need that info in that moment.

YES PLEASE! I figured I wasn’t the only one that this bothered.

Longtime offline franchise guy who has hated on DD repeatedly in OS.

In the past two months, though, I worked DD offline and have to say that it's a far better mode than I ever thought it would be and MUCH LESS PREDATORY than I assumed. It's still grindy and some of the stuff is locked behind online tasks, but overall it's not anywhere close to being what 2K and EA are doing.

So, if franchise this year is the same unimpressive stuff -- and I assume it will be -- I think I'll latch on to DD from the start, especially since ALL cards will be available to offline players (unlike this year).

Maybe I should apologize to SDS for blasting DD repeatedly since it really is an impressive mode, but NAH. I'm convinced that the love it gets is one of the main reasons why franchise is stuck in the mud.

Spoiler alert were not getting create a stadium I feel leak that post out before they even tried to
put in the game lol. All I want is Matty V to say the full name of the team I created with the team creator they couldn’t even get that right smh

[Scooter3]

Hearing the full team name of my team creator teams has also been a focus of mine seems like a small thing but for me to hear
"Milwaukee Braves "
"Brooklyn Dodgers "
"Kansas City Athletics "
"Washington Senators "
"St. Louis Browns "
So cool and shouldn't be that difficult to accomplish.

not even Opening Day yet, seems like Franchise Mode has adopted the Brooklyn Bums old battle cry: ‘‘wait till next year!’’
