I actually don't mind the 2020 schedule because it never actually ever got used in the real world. in my head cannon I pretend it is 2021 haha.

The early season games suck though when they keep feeding 2019 stats in our face, and the commtators talk about ERA and AVG meaning everything.

i will not be buying for the first time on day one as of now. i just feel they are moving away from the ps4 to the next gen and for the ps4 mostly a roster update.

If the roster import function is still intact I will purchase the game. I just do not want to lose all the content this community has poured their heart and souls into.

It really comes down to that for 21. I am highly confident the gameplay will be outstanding as always.

yeah, not real world but I played that 2020 schedule enough to feel like I know what Yogi Berra meant when he said it's like déjà vu all over again lol

It doesn't worry me as much with baseball being 162 games as much. an 16 week NFL season however that would drive me insane playing that same schedule.

I remember madden on ps2 days there was a way to generate a schedule.

if only the show was out on PC. someone could come up with something like that with a mod. and we could have our own schedules anytime, imagine classic rosters we could use the schedule from that year.

The only problem with that is we probably won’t know until the embargo is lifted, and someone can actually play the game to tell us. That’s like 1 1/2 months away. Awfully long time with that uncertainty. What’s weird with the Full Minors integration last year, I am surprised they wouldn’t reach out to ridin and ask him if removing the import roster idea would be a good idea or not. While I appreciate the integration of FM, last years base roster was sorely lacking and not useable for me

Without getting banned and saying too much... we know full minors was a disaster last year. But think, if they added the same amount of prospects this year , we are that much close to out of the box full minors. So I know people are talking about ho much harder its gonna be to import player but keep in mind the more prospects that come in the game OTB, the less work Ridin and folks have to do.

Very good point! I really hope the default FM roster is much better this year.
