Re: Perfecting MLB The Show's Franchise Mode

1. more in depth hitter vs pitcher histories. For instance....John Public is hitting .350 in his career vs Bob Jones with 6 extra base hits. Have the person with the advantage in the numbers get a boost. Doesn't always mean he'll succeed...but he has a better shot than maybe against someone who "owns" him.

2. More specialization. For instance....that LOOGY (lefty one out guy) in the bullpen....or that lefty masher off your bench. Maybe utilize that in the contract stage for conditions.

3. Custom schedules. Give a blueprint of the schedule but also allow the player to have more flexibility with it.

4. Perhaps incorporate an ownership/GM mode within franchise? This could also throw in potential expansion/relocation options.

5. Perhaps an "in studio" highlight package of not only your game but other games. (maybe after the 5th inning..."We go to Secaucus to the MLB Network studios for this update...sponsored by MLB The Show") Also...if you are in a pennant race late in the season....have "scores of interest" appear and have announcers make mention of it.

Re: Perfecting MLB The Show's Franchise Mode

Nice article; if they could fix the starter and reliever sim management, that would be massive. This has got to be a priority for them.

But FFS people, can we not all start spouting off on what little things we want in the game when someone has made a nice thread which is trying to focus on particular areas for improvement? It's no wonder the devs have so much trouble fixing the highest priority issues, as they always end up getting drowned out in a sea of wishlists. Focus on what the OP focuses on.

Fixed!

U are wrong 2k( Nba2k16)Is a lot better. And basketball is better anyways

Good article. I understand there might be a roadblock preventing them from adding expansion but how about relocation or at least the ability to transfer a created team with user created uniforms and logos from diamond dynasty into franchise? It seems like a doable thing unless MLB for some odd reason wouldn't permit it.

My biggest issue with franchise this year is odd progression/regression but they have obviously done a lot of work on franchise.

Don't know if this has been mentioned but i would LOVE to see them put in batter, pitcher cofrontation when the ball gets a bit to close to the old bean.. Jaw back and forth and if you get hit bby a pitch after that bring on the charging of the mound ! Lol,,they could make it go into a bench clearer,,,it happens bout once a season if not more with certain rivals . I think it is a must have! lol

One other thing i forgot to mention. I don't remember which baseball game it was but i remember it was on the ps2. A homerun derby competition that on the other side of the wall was different structures , people, animals and things tha you could try to hit and they were destructible. There was like 3 different stadiums you could choose from, like one was a mediaeval set up, another was just bulls-eye targets, don't recall what the other was, but it was alot of fun. They based scoring on total homeruns and distance plus you received big bonuses for destroying the environment, was alot of fun.

Per MLB's request baseball games can no longer have players charging the mound or bench clearings.
