You would think so, but as we seen with NBA2k14 once the NG console game came out they ditch the CG game, and it never received a patch, although I will say it was a solid game when released, unlike MLBTS14 is for the PS3 at the moment, cause as the OP mentioned franchise mode is unplayable as is.
I do find it odd that they have not so much as mentioned, hey were looking into these issues. I have reinstalled 13 and downloaded some rosters, just in case they end up shafting us PS3 users, although I would be surprised if they did that considering they have typically been the best devs around in the way they treat people. If not fixed, I know I will be throwing a major fit until I get my money back on my PSN store download of this game, but I hope it dont get to that point, cause I love the gameplay this year, but these issues do make it broken to franchise guys like majority of us are.
