Ok guys I have been testing the franchise mode all day. Running single season and 2 season tests. I use 30 team control with everything set to auto with current online roster.
Things that are improved..
1. Offseason trading before 1/1 has been fixed
2. Trades look good***After testing this more seems still too many in May/June and some trades of A for RP
3. I don't see Vets playing futures game
4. stats look good
5. NEW team achievements. Lists many records, standings and individual awards that the team has accomplished. Dynamic so if you win a championship it adds it to total.
6. Nice new menus and front end
The bad
Last year we had the 2013 bug this year it's back (at least appears that way) I have now completed NUMEROUS sims all the way through 3rd year off season and some beyond.
I also have noticed that renewable players like Heyward do not get renewed. Players under 6 years service time do not get offered arbitration.
CPU does not offer arbitration to its players yet receives compensation in next years draft.
IN FA
After season one:
Some B prospects all players overall C or lower
**Second run
FA Burton
Leo nunez
B pot rated as C
After Season 2:
One A prospect 22 years old stated to be number one material
Some more B prospects
**Second Run
3 21 year old A pot pitchers
2 22 year old B pot pichers
in top 10 FA spots
After Season 3 the proverbial crap hits the fan
A huge list of FA
Kemp
R. Zimmerman
Upton
Peavy
Hughes
LeBlanc
Breslow
Ordonez
R. Sweeney
Dunn
Escolbar
Many more plus a long list of low 20 yr old B prospects
**Second Run
FA
Josh hamilton
Josh Johnson
R. Halladay
Cole Hamels
Ted Sinclair (23 yr old A prospect)
Jason Bay
kazmir
sean Rodrigues
Lackey
Saunders
Cuddyer
Rayburn
Aybar
Marquis
Swisher
....Many more players and prospects
As far as trading goes I'm seeing on Avg.:
5.5 trades in MaY
6 trades in June
5 trades in July
4 trades in Aug/Sept
Still too many trades in May and not enough in July. I have not seen May 1st trades this year like last, but I have also not seen any trades the last week before deadline either.
