More Details

• Defense: A redeveloped defensive AI will introduce new fielding capabilities including dives, wall catches, fake throws and more. This system will give users more control than ever before in making defensive plays.
  
• Baserunning: Built in part from MLBAM's award-winning tracking technology, Statcast™, baserunners' abilities will be driven by on-field metrics from the 2015 MLB season.
  
• Batting: An improved batting engine will feature variable perfect timing. For the best outcome, swing earlier on inside pitches and later on outside pitches.
  
• Pitching: With a reworked pitching strategy AI, pitchers will play to their individual strengths. For example, a pitcher who features a wide range of velocity will mix speeds more often.
  
• Season SIM: During season mode play, sim a game or multiple games to quickly advance through the season and into the postseason -- should the team win its division or earn a Wild Card spot.
  
• Lineup: Modify a team's lineup pregame or in-game, including substitution strategies such as double switches. Lineups can be set from a franchise's 40-man roster or the game's classic 16-player rosters.
  
• Graphics: All 30 MLB ballparks will feature a new lighting system based on actual geographic locations, field views and additional hi-resolution realistic design elements.

Looks like there's a pretty good selection of uniforms in RBI Baseball 16. I see Home, Road, Alts, and Retro for every team. The Montreal Expos even made it in the game:

Guys who get the game, let me know if multiple season mode is any semblance of a franchise mode.

Please tell me you can edit & trade players from team to team.

Edit: Looks like IOS and Android are out today too. A nice surprise considering last year they came out all much later than PS4/Xbone versions.

Yes, I would also like to know if the season mode is like franchise even in the slightest. Last year had multiple seasons but you couldn't trade sign or release players? Am I remembering that correctly?

EDIT: Looks like it is the same

The way that is written is pretty ambiguous. I wonder if they were locked and loaded with a introduction into franchise mode but didn't want to oversell it.
