My solution is to not click auto for any roster moves, always do them manually. I believe you will be able to keep a few "stars" relatively happy but the problem will be the rest of the position players. Also pitching will be tricky with only one "ace" who you can keep happy.

I like the concept because it is an attempt to prevent people from loading up unrealistically with a bunch of stars. It sort of adds a human element to the game.

Even when I try to manually do everything my lineups are constantly changed, any time a player is injured (even a 1-day injury).

But yeah I like the concept also. It sounds like it needs a little tweaking but it is absolutely a good step in the right direction.

Go to settings and then mode specific options. Make sure everything like lineups and injuries are on manual. When a player gets injured manually put him on the DL and when he is healthy select the put on bench option and then go to the lineup screen and adjust it manually.

Quick counts allowed me to get through several seasons this year. Let's not forget about that addition. Wasn't that poll posted in 2013, well before that was added?

QC's is hands down the best feature added to this title, ever. The following link shows a post I made in 2011 wanted the ASB generated counts to carry over to this title.

If they remove QC's they would lose me as a customer. I can't go back after having QC's.

Did we ever get an answer as to what happens with all stat tracking for our imported franchises?

HOLY CRAP! I'm only to progression on the video, but I have to say, that is impressive!! One of the most realistic progression models I've seen in a sports game! I'm sold, SCEA!

I agree that it's a great addition but I can never, ever bring myself to use it in my franchise.

The franchise fact sheet is very bland. Disappointed online franchise was untouched. MLB the show 14 is a beautiful game, the franchise is still very playable with 30 team control. Sticking with it again. I know there are hardcore fans like me who haven't given away there money the last couple years. That's a **** load of money this franchise is losing. Give offline a nba 2k type overhaul and tear, rip apart and show love to online. I'll keep playing 14, it's just as beautiful, get 30 team control, wrigley field glitch isn't there, playoff pitcher stamina isn't tuned wrong and I get Cutch's locks.

Thanks for following up to my opinion, I enjoyed the stream. Definitely the prettiest sports game there is.

He's allowed to voice his opinion. Just because it does not agree with yours does not mean you need to respond like that.

So, no ability to edit drafted players again in 16? I've wanted this to be added for a couple of years now. Being able to do this would make this game so much more realistic. Why not have the ability to edit the draft into real player names for future teams rosters? How hard could this be to implement or is it just that low on the totem pole for consideration?

Also, I assume we still can't just release players from a team roster outside of franchise mode? Forcing to swap players has caused a pain in roster management for far too many years with this game. I actually hate dealing with roster management.

When there are trades in real life I about go crazy trying to find a way in The Show to match what happens. There's no way to get 100% accurate rosters due to this limitation.

Adding to the above. I also assume there are no 2 for 1 trades or multi team player trades?

Forgive me for not wanting to go through 60 pages to find the answer to the following question; can we extend players during the season in Franchise yet? If not, what is the reason?

No and the reason is that the devs don't see it as that important. In reality not that many players receive in-season extensions. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/extensiontracker

I do think it should be added at some point as it's a big part of managing your team, especially regarding young players/prospects. Extending that one player at the right time could make a huge difference (positive or negative) on your franchsie. It just isn't that common in the MLB. Most extensions come in the offseason and are typically designed to buy out arbitration years. It would also let you alleviate some of the tediousness of the offseason in franchise if you could get some of that out of the way during the season.

I don't think that I've ever had a big need for an in season extension, however it would make sense if you were to trade for a guy mid season who had an expiring contract. If I'm going to give up several quality assets for a guy, I'd like to at least be able to try and talk to him about sticking around.

Last year's game was the most lucrative and most purchased game of the franchise... Just sayin'...
