About the Game

Pro Baseball: Franchise Builder lets you take over a professional club, build through the draft and free agency, develop your farm system, and win a championship.  A major focus for this game is to give players a lot of freedom to set what kind of league they want to have.  There is a lot of customization available for schedules, division structure, amount of teams, and much more that the player can decide. 

Features:

A full front-office toolkit: trades, free agency, contract extensions, and a salary cap (or not). You have to spend wisely overpay the wrong guys and you'll feel it for years.

A farm system with multiple minor league levels (Gold, Silver, and Prospect). Call players up, send them down, and try to turn draft picks into big-league contributors.

A postseason that builds toward a Championship Series, with a customizable playoff format so you can run classic division winners and wild cards or tweak the field to fit your universe.

Very customizable allowing users to use their own logos and team setups, including custom major and minor league universes. The Discord will have logos and universes for players to download and use. You can get to the Discord from the main menu screen.

Stat tracking for season and career stats, including majors and minors.

An All-Star Game and end-of-season awards so the best players get their recognition each year.

Also, Coach Mode lets you create your own coach and try to build a career by moving up, while Team Mode keeps you locked to the franchise you chose for the long haul.
