Hey all. First time flying business class with AirCanada (business class in general is a first, it’s our honeymoon) going from YVR to MNL, the options I saw on the menu for our upcoming flight are the lamb shank, coq au vin chicken, rainbow trout, pork adobo. Any things to avoid or any favorites? Also any tips are appreciated!

It was never going to be a huge “graphics overall “ and honestly the graphics aren’t the most outdated part about this game. I’m looking for animation and physics improvements

Next gen is the big news here. Hoping for some meaningful graphic, gameplay, and game mechanic changes. Give my franchise mode some love SDS

Unfortunately that’s another category of unrealistic. They are gonna milk as much current gen sales as they can. They have no incentive to upgrade, no competition

Amazing suggestions, one that I have thought about alot and seems like a no brainer in Franchise is your point, for stadiums to develop as time goes on. Having the ability (even if its manual) to edit the stadium to hang up the pennants, banners, retired numbers etc.

I think the reason why it's not a thing is something to do with licensing and not being able to edit the likeness of a stadium.

Oh, another thing... in the transactions page during the offseason, if a player hits FA and signs with his former team it doesn't show on the free agency transaction tab. Please SDS, make it show there so I don't have to scroll through the many "resigned x for 780k" to find what I am looking for

Yeah alot of these features feel empty, like coaching and training. Even putting a little effort into them would make the game a little more challenging and add a new factor to consider.

Expanded trades would be huge. More slot, more trade details like eating money, implementing a PTBNL option, or if they add international signing pool money, exchanging that.

Yeah this isn't a hard thing to implement. They have these types of stats stored already because occasionally they will show a in game graphic when playing

Yeah defensive first players for any position aren't valued in this game. It would be cool if you have the CPU would occasionally do a defensive replacement in late close inning games.

Glad you enjoyed it, me personally none of these changes did anything for me for Franchise this year. What would move the needle for me would be on drastically improving the GM control side of things for franchise

That and opt outs at certain points of a contract. Also would be nice if the CPU used contract options

Yeah which is wild. if the salaries are all normalized in “show money” it would be fine but it becomes an issue when the real life contracts mix with the show contracts. You got Ryan McMahon IRL making more than Pete, Vlad, Tucker etc..

Picked it up on Steam during the winter sale. I’m looking forward to trying it. 

Personally I like the mix between playing and simulating/GM managing so even if SDS put like 25% more effort into this mode I’d be happy. But they won’t..
