Well then let's return to what I was laughing at.
As of now if you want Franco you'll have to create him.
Per the post I responded to, and the part that I laughed at,... let's get rid of the MLB license and show those guys they can't tell us what to do.
How does that affect Franco? Well, we still have to make him.
Not only that but we have to make all of the other players too, MLB and MiLB
. See how it becomes funny when it's thought through?
What is the difficulty in making Franco? It's an honest question. Is it the time it would take to type everything in? Figuring out how to rate him?
For ratings I'd use the Franco you created in your historical v23 game and go from there. I'd think that would be an acceptable base and one could tweak the ratings if they thought it was needed.
I've spent many hours "fixing" things in my game. Minor leagues over the years changing affiliations, cities, levels. Back in the day of feeder leagues on creation I manually moved players, and changed ages, to different "class years" so my first drafts would have a balance to them. I manually entered new park factors for Baltimore, Toronto, and Detroit due to their remodels using the stats from just after the half way point of the current MLB season. This requires one to redo every park if one wants the total for all parks to add up to 1.00 in each of the categories. This year with the new schedule of playing every team in both leagues leads to a problem in season two when OOTP reshuffles the teams. Ie I play Boston in Chicago in year one, and in year two also. I fixed it, and trust me once you start changing one game you have to change a lot to keep the home and aways balanced.
All of these things were time consuming but worth the effort IMHO. I had to decide between "how badly do I want it" and "how hard/ time consuming" will it be to do it.
I'd love it if the developers answered the question one way or the other, but so far silence appears to be winning out. Since he's not in the game one would expect the answer to explain why. Once the explanation came out there would be a new out cry about the why, and we would continue on, all be it with a bit more information.
