If it isn't obvious most sports video games don't care about offline play anymore, it's hot garbage but because people seem to blow more than an extra 10-20 bucks after purchasing the game for some Diamond Dynasty type modes. Franchise mode has actually been scaled back from MLB 2011 when they had somewhat in depth features like how much you wanted to charge for ticket prices and such.
I'd kill to have actual minor leaguers likeness in the game instead of the default auto generated players they throw out every year and then get rid of real players in roster updates in favor of keeping the fictional players. At least they're updating the likenesses this year with Rookies but most gaming sports franchises do that quite often.
