5 NEW Features For Franchise in MLB the Show 24

[@tyleroakes]

Did they mention anything about players stats decreasing substantially and damn near retiring at the age of 35?

[@seth9254]

for real. no reason soto should fall off the face of the earth at 28.

[@greatnessdelton1381]

​@@seth9254I call cap on that. I've played dozens of The Show '23 franchise mode playthroughs, and the earliest I've ever seen him decline was 32. The Show overrates TF out of him. He hits like .330/50/130 1.050 every year, trading MVP's with Acuna Jr.

[@littleguyjoe22]

@@greatnessdelton1381 Its a huge problem. My favorite thing to do in MLB the Show is rebuilds with a generational talents on my roster. I have had only 1 generational talent make it past the age of 33 as a starter level player. The rest reach 99 at age 23-24 and start regressing at 27-28 alot each season and are retired by 30. I have done with at least 60-70 generational talents and it got to the point where its not worth drafting the 80 overall high school players cause they are only good for 5-7 years in the mlb. Regression and Progression has been broken since I can remember.

[@marlo8426]

I'd like to see some incentive to sign veteran players in franchise. Players have such a hard drop off once they get old and I feel like there is no reason to sign veteran players in the game. Something like a 'mentor' tag that Madden has would be nice. Just a minor improvement to attribute progression or something like that for players on a roster with a mentor

[@WifiMerriman]

I like that be awesome to have a club house guy that will teaching the upcoming MLB players

[@loganneale7090]

It doesn’t even have to be only “old” players. Like it’s well known that Sandy is a huge mentor for the marlins pitching staff. A mentor tag would be great for the game

[@BienSwinginbase]

Madden's tag and all that stuff is alright but the game is garbage bossman imo.

[@jarrbear13]

Some big things that should change 1. FA logic: I want to say that last year, I played a game where guys like Nola were consistently signing for AAV of 8 mil. I want more realism. I shouldn’t be able to sign a team of all-stars without going over budget. 2. Award voting: why are we still seeing first basemen winning the awards just because they lead the league in RBIs? If you won’t fix the award logic, make it where we can override the award like in 2k and pick the winner 3. Player breakouts: I feel as if we never see players breakout in this game. You can go game to game and see guys like Julio Rodriguez and others jump up in overall significantly. I played a franchise mode at the beginning of the year and it took 6 years for Corbin C. to break an 85. It’s ridiculous that prospects take YEARS in game to get to even an all star level. I really wish that there were more breakouts and more unexpected/greater movement in player’s stats, especially at a young age.

[@elijahdaniels5542]

Override should also be applied to retirement

[@littleguyjoe22]

Progression and regression is my biggest thing I want fixed every single year and player award voting is a close second. Tired of seeing my elite 27 year old player lose 15 overall over 1 season when he still has a 6+ WAR. Also dont want to see a pitcher with 3.8 ERA win Cy young cause he was 20-4 and my pitcher lose with a 2.2 ERA and 18 wins or something similar to that.

[@cosmoid]

The award logic is SO BAD. CYA is decided almost entirely by wins first and strikeouts second. Nothing else matters. MVP is almost entirely decided by homeruns first and RBI second. Nothing else matters.

[@bosox04]

The award logic should not be overly difficult to overhaul. All they need to do is run some regressions based on past winners and weigh each stat and boom. More realistic and trend following award logic. BUT no they don’t care about offline modes…

[@wixonkirk757]

Have they said anything about more trade slots? Wish there was enough room to make trades more realistic. And like eating part of a big contract to add more value for a prospect or something like that.

[@CorpusYoungMaRInE]

Also a big miss in years past is the game does not take a player’s controllability/contract situation into account when making trades. It is impossible to pull off “rental” trades for high caliber players because the game is placing a player’s value solely on his overall rating. In ‘23, if you were the Orioles and wanted to make a trade for Corbin Burnes (with only 1 year of control) the game would ask for Grayson Rodriguez, Jackson Holliday, and Coby Mayo in return. Examples like this show this studio doesn’t care enough about these types of little things that would go a long way for the hardcore franchise players.

[@Sweatybaseballs]

They don’t play their game bro. It’s the same exact game with maybe a couple of things that add to the quality of life. They are marketing an awards tab, which every sports game on the planet has had since 2010, as one of the 5 main reasons to spend $70 this year. They have no respect for any of us and know that the monopoly they have will force us to play this middle finger of a game once again this year. BUT AT LEAST THEY ADDED FEMALE CHARACTERS! That was so important. Number one or two on every franchise players list this year.

You'd think that the baseball game would bring more of that depth into the game year after year instead of just copying and pasting the same thing with just a few tweaks. And then, to hide the fact that they did zero work to improve the mode, they'll virtue signal. They did it with the negro leagues last year and now they're doing it with ladies in a baseball game. I could forgive all of this if they added an online mode, or allowed me to tinker regression and progression sliders, or made potential much more dynamic, or made it so i dont have to spend 15 minutes in the offseason resigning every player to 1 year deals in the minor leagues...I could go on as you've seen

Being able to customize your stadium in any way or retiring a players number and have it on display in your stadium would also be cool

I bought MLB 23 last year. I did like some of the changes they made. It doesn't look like there will be enough change this year to make me want to buy it. My wish is to get a fully customizeable league in Franchise Mode (like in NHL) where you can adjust the number of teams. It can be done in online mode - which I know is probably their key demographic - but I play offline only.

1:33 I actually did not know how this works and I appreciate them adding it. My problem is it adds nothing to the depth or immersion of the game because there’s nothing to interact with besides a a menu item. I think your channel is great and fun to watch your videos, but I can see the pain in your face as you try to be positive, you dedicate a lot of time and energy to putting together videos and ideas and be creative yet this game manages to provide nothing other than UI updates and menu screens. for a content creator, I realize you have to be creative with the game they give you which makes it seem like it’s more work every year because of the little attention to detail and lack of depth to the mode.

I agree, this felt small. I was looking for some confirmation on player development (Players falling off after 35). Also, I generally control more than 1 team in Franchise, and there was a bug in 2023 that only let you participate in the amateur draft as the team you enter the draft screen with. Rule 5 had the same issue, which was not an issue prior. I hope that gets fixed.

[@Sweatybaseballs]

Tough luck for you and your buddy that your franchise needs were neglected yet again this year, but at least we are destroying the patriarchy by adding chicks to a baseball game. Cuz let’s be honest, that was priority number one this year for most, if not all, of us.

[@CraigTsbg]

The player attributes for position players isn’t expansive enough, the quirks are nice but even that is kinda shallow

[@JordanRunge14]

They NEED to make it so you can sign a player from the draft with less than 50% interest and you just need to pay them way more. Because I used to love looking at the scouting grades when looking to pick a player in years past, but last year the ONLY thing I looked at was the interest bar. Because why pick a player if I won't be able to sign them. And on top of that, I have it set to auto scouting and the cpu does a terrible job so it's always 20% interest and I can only take one of those players because I won't be able to get everybody over 50% by the deadline

[@WifiMerriman]

Any thing about the 10 year service where a player will start losing stats even if its a 30 year old pitcher in his prime should be one of the best players but his overall is 72 and dropping.

Is it just me or was franchise mode way better back in the mid 2000s? The gaming systems now can handle a lot more than the PS2/3 but the detail was so much better then! These minor changes aren’t going to fix franchise mode.. they are still focused on DD because that’s where they generate their money, I don’t blame them but for the average fan that can be frustrating… with the upcoming talks of expansion for MLB for the past several years they should look into doing expansion teams and then you can custom build an organization from choosing a city, building your own ball park, choosing the team name and colors, to even selecting their affiliates, or even customizing a few of them!

[@ColePeyton79]

How about lineup and bullpen logic? It’s been horrible since 20

[@jayfeev215]

It's been horrible forever!! I CPU always puts the highest rated RP in the closer role. The game is completely incapable of simulating K rates for relievers and you have to heavily edit all pitchers stamina in order to get realistic IP numbers in sim and in played games. Lineup cards don't lock, the CPU will change your lineup in simmed games and don't even think about having Acuna Jr., George Springer, Kyle Schwarber or Mookie Betts be the leadoff hitter when you face those teams. No matter how often people complain about this legacy issue it's never fixed. Even 30 team control doesn't fix this. You have to continuously go to each team and do roster/lineup maintenance. It's taxing, tiring, and such a huge chore.

[@jaredwatson76]

So frustrating. I’m too old to keep on it like that, but I still enjoy playing. I think there were like 35-40 relievers that appeared in over 100 games for the cpu clubs in my franchise. There’s only ever been 1 pitcher to appear in over 100 games in the modern era and that happened 50 years ago. Just takes me out of it when I see guys with 115 appearances while the same team’s set up man gets into maybe 30 games. It’s a poor simulation.

[@jayfeev215]

@jaredwatson76 Thus requires 30 team control and a lot of roster attention throughout your franchise. I've learned that you have to put the setup pitchers in MR slots and try not to have long relievers. When you play the team, put the SU pitchers in the setup slot for the games you play, then remember to switch them again. MLB the Show is an absolute statistical nightmare. Not to mention the fact that managers, coaches, and training don't matter. Having a good season or seasons doesn't matter either. There's no salary scaling over time (how does the sport that has no salary cap and no maximum salary restrictions have salary restrictions in the video game). The lack of attention to detail is very strong with this game.. I mean, it took 2 decades to give us an awards screen and a top prospects in your organization screen. HOF criteria is at least 6-8 years out of date. And what is taking them so long to put OPS+, ERA+ and any of the other stats that have become prominent in baseball into the game. Why can't I see a breakdown of defensive stats at different positions? What are fielding percentages so high (catcher defensive stats are atrocious). There are way too many quality of life issues or immersion issues with this game to take it seriously. I want to love it so much, but the creators just won't let me.

[@TheShowNoob10]

Has anyone noticed that anytime you do a fantasy draft that the progression/regression just doesn't show up over the attributes?? It was like this the past TWO years lol...I really hope it gets fixed this year. I love letting the computer draft my team and attempting to clean up the CPU's mess.

[@greatnessdelton1381]

I know what you mean, but it's usually only for the first year. Once you get into year 2, you can see their attributes progress or regress as normal. In your case, it may be a bug or some shit. Fantasy draft's great, people should play that way more.

[@gdn86]

They really need more in depth contract negotiations, more realistic salary expectations and more impact from season to season production in regards to what players will ask for. This goes both ways with guys having down or up years, late bloomers suddenly becoming everyday players or rotation pieces. Trade requests are not in the game, and could easily be adjusted with a slider for likelihood of occurrence and conditions that could create them. There are plenty of things they could add but have not, that would really improve the experience. I guess this is what we get in the age of micro-transactions and digital card collecting.

Set giveaway nights. They took all of these things away and more. Why do these features keep getting removed and they replace them with starting a season with injuries on the roster?!

[@JosephVallejo27]

I’m definitely happiest about the awards. But still that should have always been in the game so I can’t give them credit for adding

[@Huffy_10]

I can think of a couple dozen of additions I think would help with franchise mode just like everyone else but my one thing I’ve always wanted is custom playing time for players. For example you should be able to put an average of how many games/innings you want a specific player to play or pitch. Or set a depth chart like in madden where you have a utility player as back up for short or 3B or whatever and during simulation that player you put 2nd in the depth chart gets first priority to play and so on. Same with situational scenarios for pitching. You should be able to choose who you would like to throw more innings if your down by 5 or more runs or setup a depth chart for who you want to pitch in a 1 game run in the 7th. I hate seeing a guy play 9 innings all season for no reason at all. As well as seeing an 85 ovr player have like 40 AB’s because the guy in his same position is an 86 ovr lol. The AI of the franchise mode just needs a major over haul before any of this can happen of course but a way more complex customization of roster management would be awesome. Same with complete customization of player progression and regression. There’s no reason we shouldn’t have control of how we want our franchises to playout. (Similar to madden)

Not maybe 40 bases or less like it did last year with siming. 11) Coaches should be more realistic and the same as in real life except of course the minor league manager 12) cleat customization and or more cleats There is more but can't think of it.

[@greatnessdelton1381]

1-3 yes, good suggestions. 4-already basically in the game. 5-6, no. This doesn't reflect real life in any way. Tickets make up less than 5% of every team's income. Implementing merchandise earnings not only has nothing to do with payroll, the only way it would make a difference would break the game. 7-No. 8-Great idea. But for some reason, the Show likes to include them in the regular draft pool instead. 9-100% convinced you hate prospects. The draft is a big deal and deserves to be treated as such. 10-Agreed, 100%. Wonder how they're gonna deal with Acuna Jr, Witt Jr, and Carroll this year. Speaking of stats that need fixes, the K rate needs adjusting. This ain't the dead ball era. 11-They're plenty realistic already and their perks are great. There's not much improvements to do there. 12-Cleat Customization is already in the game,but they could use some more variety in their designs.

I remember one year he was out as a pitcher and you could only use him as a hitter, and it was super disappointing. I think that was before their huge two-way player overhaul, but I am still hopeful I can use Shohei as a two-way player in the game this year. Also, last year when Tatis was suspended, and you started a Franchise before he came back, he just wasn't in your Franchise save. He wasn't on the IL or on a minor league roster. You could just never get him added to the game. Has that finally been updated?

Did they finally fix awards where 250 ks with a 21-3 record but a 6 era won’t win cy young anymore

Or how I can have a 100 point higher ops more homers and a higher war but a 2 point less average and 5 less RBIs

For mvp

[@felixvecchiarelli6458]

Can anyone teach me how to save my franchise? I must be doing something wrong. It won't autosave after every game and it won't manually save either. It says it saves, but when I go to the load screen, it says that there are no files..... Help!!

[@paulmd7747]

"It's a video game, who cares, its not supposed to be super realistic." Bro. . . it is a sports simulator. It IS supposed to be somewhat realistic (for example, players with low power rarely hit HR. . . you know, because of realism). The whole decision to include women is a pure waste of time and resources for a dev team. There is no one clamoring for women in MLB the show. They aren't ever going to be in the real MLB, so there is no reason to add them. It is ridiculous pandering. FFS, just call it what it is. It is B.S. and everyone knows it. It is ok for a game to be just about men if the subject (MLB) is men only. Everyone is so sensitive these days. Calm down and just be honest.

[@jasonmiller1425]

A couple things I hope they updated. Gm goals - I shouldn’t have a goal to have Oakland make the playoffs and keep it realistic within 3 years. They should have like 5 years. Trade/free agent logic. Hiring of coaches needs to be updated. They haven’t updated this in years. They have way to many coaches that have no experience and they give big boost. Add in all stats including when the player is in the minors.

[@evangalluzzi]

Still haven’t added online franchise

[@RenTheConqueror]

These are nice adds, but nothing here screams, “buy me”. I want more realism - different on screen score boards (unique to the team), unique PA announcers for each stadium, more organ music, being able to challenge outside of simply 1st base. 24 is going to be a copy / paste of 23. Hard pass.

@Great1Duanethe company is based on San Diego so it’s mega woke now. First in the 2023 game, they spent way more time on negro leagues mode than anything else which showed in the lack of quality and gameplay changes, (and I’m not hating on negro league in general it’s cool to have more players recognized) but you can tell from their feature livestreams last year that this was their MAIN focus and everything else took a back seat. Now this year they did the same thing and had multiple livestreams about negro leagues having a massive overhaul in the story etc PLUS adding girls to MLB which I have no issue with females playing baseball but it’s not realistic and shouldn’t be their focus when the current game features need work as it is. They’ve just fallen in the deep end of being too woke man it’s sad. The game quality looks worse this year than the last 5 years

I didnt buy the new MLB show last year. I only play franchise. So I love your channel. All I need to come back is expansion teams. Where you get to draft players from other teams like all-star baseball 2k5 . That was my favorite mode as a kid and got me into baseball.

[@greatnessdelton1381]

Fantasy draft+custom franchise comes pretty close to what you're asking for. You should try that method out.

I think that has to do with trades. If they don't have a picture with that player wearing the proper hat, then you don't get the real face.

Good to know that prospect promotion incentive is already broken. Why is Joe Ryan on there?? He’s been in the MLB for 3 years and at least two full seasons.

[@Hunter-cx2pk]

Exactly what I was worried about lmfao. I really don’t mind the women player addition, but it feels like they added that (when I’m not sure I’d seen anyone request that, at least not in large) and are using it to hide the fact that they did fuck all with the rest of the offline game modes.

[@SW-qk9jx]

I definitely think making it seem like a big feature is them hiding. They should definitely let their female player base feel as immersed as the male, but this is not a true feature.
