MLB 12 The Show Franchise Mode Improvements

[garyjr33]

I also just noticed at the top of the trade screen it says, "seeking: SP, RP, CP, 3B, C." This is simple but phenomenal addition. It is nice to see what the computer is looking before your try to make trades with them.

Emails, I dont see the option in the menu screen where it usually is.
did it get moved or vamoosed?


edit:
also hope with a reboot of franchise next year will see the death of yellow bars and report card grading and progress to a straight number system [talk about saving even more real estate].

man i wish they would work with Baseball Prospectus.

I'll still use a wait and see approach on the new trade logic, but all in all, looking forward to this game.

There is...kinda sorta. You can tab between teams on the trade screens, and it will tell you what the other teams are looking for.

No, you do not have to repurchase any DRM.

Love the new look of the franchise menus. Can't wait to see them in person on my TV screen and Vita

This is great news. I know a lot of people are saying stuff like, "I'm going to skip this year because they said that Franchise will be getting a huge overhaul, but most of thier energy went towards the Vita. So I'm going to wait for MLB 13." And the improvements they made this year even with the Vita is a lot! New Trade Logic, Lineup Logic, New front Menu with upcoming game and league leaders. This mode is definetly going to be better than MLB 11 wchich already very good!

The Franchise home menu has been enhanced, bringing you more team and league content, including…adding in your next game information, displaying the current standings, and showing you the current league leaders for batting and pitching. These additions aren’t limited to the Major League ball club, and are also accessible to your Triple-A and Double-A teams.

i only have 10 and this stuff was already in there.
was it taken out in 11 and put back in for 12?
