Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

Y2Y saves for my RTTS career is going to be great. Had I done a franchise last year I would have utilized it for that as well to continue my season. Seems like a lot of OSers like to mimic real life so much that having exact rosters is a necessity, so for that crowd I don't see how Y2Y saves do much for them.

Edited to remove my concern of the branded equipment because Russell chimed in and informed us there wouldn't be am issue.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

I think Y2Y saves is a must for the RTTS crew. I personally will not use the feature. I like to start fresh each year with the updated rosters and "build" my team from there.

I sim and play so I get multiple years into the future and find myself restarting a new franchise after the all star break to see how the transactions affect the dynamic of the teams.

I'm sure there will be a lot of people that will use it to continue on with their franchise and are wholly committed to it.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

I started a franchise, and I'm currently still in it, rebuilding the Indians. So I cannot wait for the Y2Y save, to keep it going. In the past I always felt rushed to "complete" my franchise before the new version came out, but now I can relax and just play game by game and be ready to continue it with Y2Y save.

For me, the biggest drawback to using Y2Y saves had I had a franchise to continue into MLB 15 would be not getting the branded equipment unless you edit the players yourself which I wouldn't take the time to do (at least that's how I understand it to work). That takes one of the most high profile changes for MLB 15 out of the game.

Great point. This would indeed suck. If I was deep into the mode, I likely wouldn't restart, and would likely just edit my team's equipment (assuming you can?).

Curious, if they were to lose that license (for whatever reason), what would happen in '16 if the branded equipment was NOT in the game in a Y2Y save?

You can edit the equipment. It's easy to do just time consuming.

Personally I like the feature, but I won't use it this year since I'm helping out with rosters and I'm hoping they added the missing managers and coaches from last year. Otherwise, I would use the feature this year.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

For the initial question about franchise, I'm not using Y2Y saves and it's for one reason...stat tracking. Until they implement proper stat tracking, Y2Y saves are pointless for me as, aside from a few aspects, each season essentially feels like a refresh anyway. Might as well refresh with full benefits, so to speak.

So, the earliest I would possibly use Y2Y saves in franchise mode would be for 17, I guess (continuing from 16, which will hopefully see the inclusion of deeper stat tracking). Make no mistake though, it's an awesome feature and a HUGE accomplishment if it all works right.

In fact, it's the main thing that got me interested in RTTS, as that was essentially a throw away or "time killing" mode in between franchise plays for me. Now I feel like I can get into RTTS as it's intended: a true career progression. So I will be taking advantage of it for that mode for sure.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

I think the Y2Y saves is an awesome feature. I picked up my PS4 late and thus The Show 14 late so I only got through one franchise season so far. I wasn’t a huge fan of how I handled the offseason so I plan to start my annual pirates franchise from scratch on 15.

To keep me busy until 15, I am fantasy drafting a team, which I rarely do. This will keep it fresh and let me play in stadiums I wouldn’t see much on the pirates schedule. I probably will carry that over to 15 until I decide to start my pirates franchise. If I had a long running franchise or one where I was intrigued by the team I built over the years I would definitely carry it over. Having licensed equipment and gear on 15 also played a factor and was a big reason I am not investing into a pirates franchise to carry over.

Yup, I'm about halfway through 2015 in one franchise so I'll continue that one. I'll also be starting one or two fresh franchises with the new game and will hopefully carry those forward as well the following year.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

I had every intention of using Y2Y saves this year. I was almost done with my second year in my Padres franchise.

However with all of the off season moves and all of the added features in this years The Show, I have decided to start over with the OS rosters and go on from there. This time I will do 30 team control and add new players/ rookies as they come along and make any equipment changes etc that need to be made. Once this one starts I will never look back.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

I think for a lot of us it comes down to how well we were able to keep transactions close to true-life through 30 team control etc. Once the offseason comes its hard to keep things close to realistic for all the teams because of time, so sometimes its easier just to start a new franchise. I'm actually pumped though cause this year I will download an updated roster in a a week or two...start a franchise even though it will be 2014 schedule, and will continue it with the new game and its features until OSFM comes out.

Re: Opinions | Y2Y Saves...

Sorry if this has already been answered, but is it confirmed that rosters will not be able to transfer from 14 to 15?

Confirmed. You can't transfer rosters.
