Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

Russell,

Great work, thank you very much. Hopefully this all parlays to a much better Franchise experience.

On a side note, and I'm only mentioning this here because it seems like you'll notice it in this thread, I noticed that you were describing players as having numbered ratings:

- "99 ovr players" were not correctly normalizing to 1.0f.

- Make sure any player who is decent "(75 ovr, 75 potential)" are being offered arbitration.

If somehow (next year) we could get these numbers into the game instead of the 'bars', I think it could help us a lot more with comparing players and choosing players for trades or free agency, etc.
I'm sure you've seen requests before...just thought this was a good time to bring it up.

Again, thanks for the patch work.

Do not hold your breath on seeing numbers instead of bars.

I would rather see more detailed scouting reports... that way we are choosing on strengths, and not the highest number like games of the past.

As long as Kolbe is around, I think you have a better shot at seeing nothing at all than numbers...lol. As I understand it, is took some prodding for him to even relent on showing them for editing.

I agree with Enigma too. I'd rather see scouting reports that have some subjectivity and depth than just basing it off of 86>84.

Or that.
Whatever it takes to make it easier to gauge how much better one guy is than another at certain skills and overall, compared to the method now. Which is:
"Okay, his ability bar goes almost to the second L in OVERALL, and this guy's goes to about midway to the first L..."

I agree as well. I mean, I could've gone completely wishlist here
but just thought as long as Russell/Kolbe are using some kind of numbers system, I just wish we could, at least, get to see those in the game also.

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

- Treat CPU controlled user teams as CPU teams for purposes of reducing trades during the season.


Is this the fix for the 30 team control trade issue ??

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

Great news, Russell, and thanks for the update. Good riddance, players who shouldn't be in free agency but are!

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

When does the patch come out? ... I KID I KID

In all seriousness

- 99 ovr players were not correctly normalizing to 1.0f.

What exactly does this mean?

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

Awesome. Looks like a good set of fixes to update an already stellar mode. Love the fact that we have a pretty great working franchise mode that has most, if not all, of the real life stuff.

Re: Franchise changes for the next title update

Don't mean to be a buzzkill but is the lineup issue going to be addressed when it comes to simming ST and having messed up lineups?

See the thread about Morneau hitting second for the Twinkies. You'll find the most powerful guy in your lineup hitting second pretty often and I've had to do serious overhauls to some of the teams for their starting nine.
