Could OOTP style Franchise survive in The Show?

[smonee]

First, I want to say I'm impressed with OOTP overall. Last night, I was thinking the average MLB The show player wouldn't be able to handle all of the realistic management tasks. I do think that if someday OOTP could work with SD Studios and offer a plug in buy, it would make the perfect baseball game. I'd pay $40 bucks to add the OOTB front office mode to my show franchise. It wouldn't be for everyone, too complex, thoughts?

I think the average MLB The Show player that still plays franchise in this day and age would love if the mode was near the same quality as OOTP. I know I would and the guys I know that play The Show would too. Heck, my buddy that doesn't play franchise, DD only in The Show, plays OOTP for his franchise needs. I think an OOTP type franchise mode would be celebrated by all Show players just about.

Heck I'd be ok if it was 1/2 or even 1/4 the depth of OOTP.

This holds true for all sports games out now. Franchise modes are just swallow AF.

I seen people praise the shows franchise and i looked over reviews and details about it and thought, how the f is this ok?

I pretty much gave up on sports games for this reason.

Sadly, I think I am heading in the same direction.

FIFA and MLB TS are gorgeous and I enjoy playing them, a lot.

However, Football Manager and OOTP have opened my eyes as to how wonderful true management can actually be.

Makes me feel like it’s not worth my precious/fleeting free time to actually “play” the former, but rather deeply invest in the latter.

I think the answer is yes it certainly could. I just got this game and am loving it. But I also love actually playing the actual game. While managing the game on OOTP is much more fun than I expected, I do miss playing.

Plus it takes so much work to adjust sliders to get a realistic experience when playing something like 2K. It gets to the point where I'm tempted just to CPU vs CPU everything so that I know everything stays fair and at that point, why wouldnt you just go to a text sim like FM or OOTP if youre not actually "playing" the games anyways.

I'd like to know how OOTP can use former MLBPA players in their retro seasons? With the Jim Brown suit, and the OBannon suit, I really don't know how this is possible?

I hope beyond hope that MLBtS can someday capture all the history OOTP utilizes. Nothing is missing. Not one thing.

As a retro player only, even if all MLBtS did was port all of that info into a manager only mode, I'd be all over it. I'd would literally give them a blank check. A priceless experience.
