New features for offline mode

[Radimov]

Is there any news for those of us who only play offline?

- Are the transfers more realistic?
- Do you still win too many games even if you are trying to tanking?
- Have the editors of team kits, logos and pavilions been tweaked after 20 years?

Are there any significant new features in these game modes?

I wouldn't expect any fixes to anything Franchise related. They basically do the same thing EA does with Madden. Features that sound good on a press release (i.e. Eras), and a mode that's broken beyond belief. The only way you can get somewhat close to a realistic Franchise mode is to meticulously mess with the sliders, or d/l some. Thru trial and error, you may finally get some "realism".. but there are simply too many issues to fix thru sliders.

Some things you just gotta live with. For instance, the only way to get realistic stats, is to mess with tendencies. You can do that with your players (even tho you shouldn't have to), but if you want a realistic league with realistic stats, you'd have to adjust tendencies for every starter and utilized bench player in the game! That's an insane ask of the player. Nobody's gonna do that.

They REALLY need to fix the fundamentals of the sim, but they won't.. cause they don't care. It doesn't help make them microtransactions, so it's not a priority. Same as EA. They've become what they fought against so many years ago. It's not the same company that released all of their games for $19.99 in '04.

It is heartbreaking, thank you very much.
