If you haven't seen the details on the online franchise mode, here it is: http://www.operationsports.com/news/711831/mlb-14-the-show-blog-online-franchise/ In order to create the best TCBL (possibly plural) that we can, we would like everyone to answer these 5 questions and post below: 1. Are you still interested in the league? 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 4. Please list your top 5 teams? 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) Any other comments are welcome. We will close this thread after a week and decide our path forward based on everyone's responses.

1. Yes 2. Smaller, time could be an issue with a full user league. 3. 81 games. I'm a stat guy, so it'll be easy to double every number and figure out what their production is like - plus quick counts should make for short games. 4. Yankees Phillies Nats Angels Mariners 5. 3. I'm a die-hard fan, but I'd sacrifice that to be included in a good group of guys.
1. Are you still interested in the league? Absolutely!!!! 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? I would prefer a smaller league.. 30 user league might be crazy to schdule!! 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? Ideal would be around 30 games... 4. Please list your top 5 teams? 1. Atlanta Braves 2. Washington Nationals 3. St. Louis Cardinals 4. San Francisco Giants 5. New York Yankees 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) Not a deal breaker but I love my Bravos! Use to have season tickets when my family lived there... 7
I forgot to mention quick counts. This is something that may be considered in order for us to play faster. http://blog.us.playstation.com/2014/02/26/mlb-14-the-show-quick-counts-and-player-lock/ If we play 81 or 162, it is most likely a must.
1. Are you still interested in the league? I wont even dignify this ques with a response 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? 14-18 for the speed. 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 30 seemed nice last yr. keeps it fresh 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Reds Angels Braves Orioles Nats 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 0. Wanna try something diff, so no Giants for me this yr 6. Quick Counts? I can see the benefit for speeding up games but it really kills the chess match between the pitcher and batter. I love setting up pitches and you really need a full at bat to do that. Plus that's probly the most fun part of the game to me
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes. 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Either. Would be interesting to try the full 30 user league with the new additions, though. CPU teams has worked well in the past though - if its a bigger schedule like 81 games the cpu route might be better. 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 30 if no count is generated. 81 if the count is generated. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? CUBS Yankees Twins Rays D-backs 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 9 6. Quick Counts? If it's going to be a long schedule where we have to get a lot of games in, I think generated counts is fine as long as it is determined by player ratings (which I'm sure it is). If it is 30 games, I'd probably skip it.
Thanks for considering me. I won't have the time to invest, so you can remove me from the prospect list. Good luck and have fun!
1. Yes 2. Does not matter to me 3. Again does not matter 4. Royals, who else is in the league?, Brewers, Rays, Mariners 5. 100
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes i am 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Im fine with either 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? I guess 30 but the others would be fine. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Dodgers, red sox, braves, anybody else after that 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 1 not critical Ryty
1. Are you still interested in the league? Absofreakinglutely... Yes, very much so 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? No preference, I'll leave that up to the experts as to which is better 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? Depends on the size of the league, I think 30 and 81 would be ideal though. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Orioles Not Yankees Not Red Sox Not Rays Not Blue Jays 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 8, I would like to be the Orioles, but its not a dealbreaker if I can't. I'm happy being anyone as long as they aren't in the AL East.
1. Are you still interested in the league? 100% yes! 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Full 30 user league if possible 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? I prefer 162, but willing to play 81, I'm against a small 30 game league 4. Please list your top 5 teams? 1. Phillies 2. Dodgers 3. Pittsburgh 4. Orioles 5. Rangers 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 4....I'm new to The Show, so I may not be that good to start. I would like to be somewhat competitive, and I have a feeling that many of the members will be better than me, so maybe having a better team will help. Any other comments are welcome.
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? I'd prefer the smaller leagues. 18 teams would probably be the most balanced, 3 user 2 CPU teams in each division. Multiple smaller leagues would allow for more people to play if interested. Also, you can play your CPU games at your convenience. Echo what _MG_ said though. If multiple leagues, would want to continue playing with those who were part of it the last two/three releases. 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 30, shorter seasons would allow us to get further into the franchise, and get the fullest out of all the new features 4. Please list your top 5 teams? 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) See above 6. Quick counts: I'd be fine with them in longer season leagues. Don't think they'd be necessary in 30 game seasons. Ryty
1. Are you still interested in the league? Definitely still interested. My original plan was to wait for a year before buying a PS4 but I knew that wouldn't work because of The Show 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? I'm leaning more toward the smaller league it would give a greater balance IMO 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? Personally I'd be happy with 162 but I guess 81 would be the sweet spot 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Yankees Nationals Mariners Indians Padres 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) I'd say 2. I just love playing The Show so as long as I don't end up with any AL East team other than NY I'd be content As for Quick Counts I'm not even interested that's just for people who complained about games taking too long so I'll refer to one of my favorite baseball movie quotes. "There's no crying in baseball!"
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? It doesn't matter, done the latter previously though. 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 30 or 81, 30 would be best for more years. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Nationals Reds Marlins/Twins Rays Astros 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) Well ya, R. Zimmerman and Harpuhh. But will do what's needed for the league.
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes, I'm interesting in the league. 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? A full league sounds so cool on the surface, but smaller would make for better leagues I think. Also dependent on if we leave some divisions empty, or at least two/three representatives in every division. 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 81, for the same reasons I Peench listed. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? a. Texas Rangers b. LA Dodgers c. Oakland A's d. Kansas City Royals e. St. Louis Cardinals 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) I'd put it at an 8, but if I weren't able to, it wouldn't curb my excitement for the league. Any other comments are welcome. I don't currently have any next-gen platform. It's still a toss up for me, an a time table isn't there really. Throwing my hat in here, but worst case I'd be a wait-list guy.
1. Yes 2. Indifferent 3. 81 seems like a good number. But I'm down for whatever. 4. Redsox After that, anyone but the yankees will do 5. 4/10
1. Are you still interested in the league? Uhhhh YES 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Full 30 would be fun I think always more fun to have user rivals . 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? 81 would be perfect with the implementation of the quick count 30 would work without quick count. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 10
1. Are you still interested in the league? Is a Pig's P&ssy Pork? 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? 14-18 with CPU teams. 3.

1. Are you still interested in the league? YESS!!! 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Rather have a smaller league for quick movement 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? For smaller league 81 but bigger 30 since there will be only user games 4. Please list your top 5 teams? RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS RANGERS RED SOX 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) 9.99 6. Quick Counts? love the idea if there are 81 games with 30 users but if we do smaller leagues id rather be able to set up pitches
1. Are you still interested in the league? Yes 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? 12 or 18 3.

1. Are you still interested in the league? yes 2. Would you prefer to play in a full 30 user league or a smaller 14-18 user league with cpu teams? Depends on number of games we are targeting , might be easier to get more games in with less users. Maybe match guys up by times they can play ? 3. What is your ideal season length? 30 games, 81 games, 162 games or other? I am a stat junkie so 81/162 sound good to me. 4. Please list your top 5 teams? Reds Indians Cubs Nats Baltimore 5. How important is playing with your favorite team? (scale of 1-10) About a 2, not a huge issue if I don't get any of my top 5. I just do not want to be the NYY or RedSox.
