FRANCHISE
ALL NEW Off-Season Experience!
With the updated logic, your free-agent negotiations aren’t just based on stats anymore. The motivations of your targets are now front and center. Is your team a contender, or a multi-year project? And on the flip side, does that player want to be a part of a historic dynasty, or do they just want to score the biggest payday? Rumors fly in the offseason like fastballs down the middle. You’ve got to sift through them and decide whether to take the risk.

The Big Board
The Big Board is the blueprint for your offseason. It’s not just about who’s available; it’s about who fits. Your team’s needs, positional competition, and even the reality of a player’s ‘last chance’ on the market. All of these factors shape the deals you make – and the deals you just miss out on.

GAMEPLAY IMPROVEMENTS
Ambush Hitting
Ambush Hitting is a strategy where hitters anticipate the pitch’s location. Guessing correctly boosts contact, discipline, coverage, and timing stats – guessing wrong reduces these stats.
So maybe you’ve seen how this pitcher likes to work. Or maybe you have no idea what they’re planning, but you’re the reckless type who feels compelled to press the odds. Either way, Ambush Hitting can give you the upper hand in a tense matchup.
