¨ In-Game Bottom Ticker – Keep tabs on all the action during your Major League season with the addition of The Show's new in-game bottom ticker. You'll now get score updates of games in progress, pitching matchups for games yet to start that day, and final score results highlighting win/loss/save info and notable offensive performances—all recreated just as you would see at the bottom of your screen in real-life. Additionally, you’ll be able to set the ticker to display Friend Updates, so you can keep up with what your friends are up to in The Show.
¨ New Presentations – The Show continues to add to an already expansive presentation base by adding more ways to accurately mirror real-life broadcasts. This year, watch for new pitch-by-pitch sequences that look back at, say, all seven pitches in an at-bat that led to a walk, or a montage of a pitcher's last six strikeouts.

These are awesome!

Knight,

Do you know if it has been mentioned whether we will be able to edit budgets before playing franchise? I know the devs said they improved it, but was wondering if it is based on market or what. I've been dying to know and have yet to find any type of information on this. Thanks.

Knight, thats what I was thinking as well, I know I heard it on here somewhere.
Just a typo on the fact sheet, maybe?

No editing budgets.
I did ask for one of two things for '12 in regards to this.
Either to allow us to edit budgets through direct editing or to be able to assign small/medium/large/YANKEE budgets at the start of each year in a franchise.
The other option was to add an owner to the franchise mode and be able to assign and edit his attitude towards budget.(and to be able to "petition" him for extra money for a FA or trade(you and the CPU)....of course at the peril of losing points with him if your move doesn't work out if he agrees.

That actually might be the ones they added in previous years.
There are some overlapping additions(from previous years) on that sheet.

You know what, you are right.
Its under a section called core franchise features.

All the stuff there is a recap of bigger things the Show has to offer form past versions.

So six it is!
