1st off Ive always loved MLBTS, and havent ever had much negative things to say, because they have always put out a solid game for those of us who are offline Franchise guys. But it seems its time for them to take a major leap, and make major upgrades to franchise mode. Other than a few things here and there its basically stayed the same. Now there is something to be said for making small upgrades, rather than go to far and have a ton of bugs and glitches, but I feel its time for them to quite making baby steps.
I only play MLBTS and NBA2k, as I gave Madden up years ago, and Im not a huge soccer fan so no need to buy FIFA annually as I do with the MLB and NBA, would buy Madden if it ever gets good again.
When I see NBA2k over these past couple years or so make major strides with not just gameplay, but within Association mode, now called MyLeague, it makes MLBTS franchise seem very bland. Not only do we have basically the same franchise mode for the most part, yes I know changes to scouting and payroll, etc has been changed, but the mode itself hasnt really made major strides. We still have very bad stats, and all of us who are into franchise mode in any sports game, is OCD about sim stat accuracy. NBA2k isnt perfect in this area either, but its much closer than it use to be and better than what we get with MLBTS each yr.
We use to have a few different Spring training parks, now we have 2 and this is with a new console thats suppose to me more powerful, yet we have only 2 ST'ing ball parks. MILB parks are basically the same as they have always been to, rather than each team having their own, even if they are actually real due to liscensing issues, I get that, I fine with fake ones. Also they could go along way by making ST'ing more interesting with adding invites rather than it just being your 40 man rosters for ST.
I could go on and on about improvements to get franchise mode much closer to emulating real life, as NBA2k has done for its game, but Im not a good typer, and my hands get cramped up if I type much, sucks getting old,lol.
Anyway, curious if Im in the minority here, or if there are many like me that want to see major changes and upgrades to Franchise?
This is not to knock the devs in anyway of this game, I have nothing but respect for what they have done with putting out a solid game each yr, so I ask not to make this a bashing thread of the devs or the game. I just think its time for them to get focus back to Franchise mode. NBA2k even caters to the onliners, yet they give us offline players a great experience with MyLeague over the past couple years, so its possible to do both. I may regret saying good things about NBA2k, if they dont make good this yr with 18 which comes out soon,lol.
