To me its just same ol same ol. visually. tis' all good. your points are fair. As i said earlier, strike one on the overlay design. lets see how many stat overlays there are and if the franchise menu/ui has been overhauled [bye bye newspapers, hello headline page?] if not, I am out again this year.

It's new art, if you want to accept it or not or you have a different interpretation that's another thing. The only art in that score bar that stayed the same was the font of the text.

P.S. The newspaper is still there

I admit, it breaks total immersion, but without it there'd be nothing there as there's only so many times they can use the brands they have access to or it'd be the same issue but with an actual brand going where it doesn't go at the actual stadium....and people would complain about that instead.

you know what i loved? the old fake ads from back in the day.
man those rocked.
on the ps2 they even had very closer replications of real life ads.
for example in yankee stadium they had a company called Horizon Wired, aka Verison Wireless, same logo design in the same area out in right field.

many are still there tucked away in the front office portion of franchise mode, but you wont see them in stadium.

Unfortunately not messing with it a little has some pretty major ramifications on the game. I know it's weird that you can mess with it in replay's but not for the camera's.

Hey Russ, i am just going by the screen comparison is all.
Looks close enough to me, and for me, its not much of a change.

newspaper returns?
why? can u give a reasoning behind leaving it and not going with a more modern headline page?
don't u feel its antiquated?

Couldn't agree on if we should take it out or not this year. But it will be gone in 13. However you can just tab over now and look at the new &$%&^%$&$%^#$^&%^&^&$%&$%^#$^&$%^&#$^%&#$%&#$&#$^^ &&# this small addition is something we think the franchise heads will like.

Ahhhhh......Aaron got that late change in!....Nice.

I think Aaron is going to go nuts in '13. Makes me happy as a franchise head.

Russ,

I actually like the newspapers. I just wish they were more immersive, covering cy young race, fan feedback to bad trades, GM discussions, etc. But I wish it weren't leaving
