Minor League Player Options

[bravesfan1984]

Ok Sony, for the second year in a row player options have once again been neglected. Just another hit to us hardcore franchise players. I want to start a thread on this because I don't want it lost in the shuffle of other threads.

Real minor leaguers, even the top prospects, only have 1 option. Why is this the case? So, I'm going to call up Pache for my Braves and what happens if he stinks it up and I send him down? Welp, that's the option for the year. So next season, he has to remain on my roster or expose him to waivers, which he'll be claimed considering the A potential.

This is inexcusable! Can we franchise players please get some love and get this patched or give us the option to edit this like service time?

If not, it looks like I'm all in for fictional rosters from this point on.

-MOD EDIT-

Y'all just a heads up. While we'll mention this in one of our franchise articles, and we'll highlight it how we can, you all can also report stuff like this via the official bug request, which the Sony devs even say is one of the better ways to reach out:

So here's the link, use it.

I'm still upset on this too. I have guys on my team who made their MLB debut last season with ZERO options. I have to be forced to keep them or risk losing them because they can't get this right.

It just blows my mind why they think this is acceptable.

Thanks for making this and I hope they'll address it. I'd be happy with editing them myself. I'm not really why this became a problem, as I don't remember it being an issue before last year.

How does something like this get overlooked?

MLBTS18 and all prior editions weren't an issue. Just started last year, I'm assuming because they made cuts to the roster side of the game or something. Less resources, less quality.

Yeah it's weird why you can't at least edit this since you can edit contract and years.

If you create a player can you edit options?

(Edit: No it seems you cannot, just service time and MLB years)

Any chance we can get an article up about this to see if we can get some backing to promote getting this resolved? This is a franchise killer for me.
