What do you mean? It says it plain as day in the article.

The article says "The game features a season mode that spans multiple years, online and couch multiplayer as well as the ability to manage your 40-man roster in ways you see fit. "

Season mode than spans multiple years? That reads a little like franchise.

However, it sounds like there is none. Pretty disappointing.

The article also says:

"That being said, there isn’t the option of free agency or trades during season mode, though that is something being looked at for future installments of the game."

Just played a few innings on PC. It is basically the same arcady gameplay as past versions with updated graphics, stadiums and animations. I can see it being fun to play with friends but due to the non-sim gameplay I dont see myself playing it much vs cpu

How much different is it than last years? Does it fix any of the fielding issues from 15? If not I'll just play 15.

The balance is quite different from 15. You'll see more hit variety and a much improved "feel" to the hit outcomes - pull, oppo, good contact, weak contact should always feel like the right outcome. You will also see a lot more dives, as well as missed leaps and lunges. You will also see players crash into walls and rob homeruns on occasion.

After playing a lot of 16, when going back to 15, it feels like a completely different game. The balance of pitch speed, hit speed, run speed, throw speed is all different.
