Online Teamplay-will they actually do it correctly

[brindlerednoze]

Will the new release let you play private teamplay matches ? Will it let you invite friends to play as teammates in your off-line franchise ? The last couple of releases has teamplay but you have to play vs against randoms online. Why don't they let us invite, lets say a total of 5 off of your friends list to play a 3v3 instead of randoms ?

As far as franchise goes the only way and it's limited to only one other player is to invite a friend to shareplay. The only issue is there is the slightest bit of lag on both pitching and hitting. It's playable but would be much better if the friend is playing off of his own feed and not of the host.

Money wise the game would make more money. Just from my friends list alone they would sell 10 more copies. The only way the guys from my list would buy the game would be if they could set up teamplay friendly matches. The random stuff isn't as enjoyable

crickets, once again.

I don't see the franchise mode thing happening obviously without online franchise. I do think the team play thing should be there but won't be either, albeit it's not THAT hard to sync up with your other friends -- you just queue at the same time with the same settings.

I just want the mode to work right more than anything before they start adding way more stuff for co-op.

Chase, I agree but my issue is my crew of old heads aren't gonna be down with doing the good old "1, 2, 3 go" routine

Yeah I get that for sure, I think that's an easy win that should exist I'm just saying technically there is a workaround.
