I know it would be difficult to build a solid logic base to make it work correctly, but I would trust this dev team to be able to do it. Your ARod example is valid, but you would have never expected him to be benched in the playoffs either. Just want to be immersed into the franchise mode, so hopefully the improvements will do that.

You got me thinking though...and the one thing that prevents poor performance from causing a player to be sent down in OOTP is the right of refusal....and perhaps if they added and used that as the mechanism to keep the CPU from shuffling established players who are playing poorly from getting demoted....it could work.
That is my only real concern with performance based roster moves(MLB level...)

Yeah same here. I'll most likely hold off on playoff mode until I make the playoffs in franchise then I'll recreate the actual bracket when playoff time rolls around.

Anything on the rangers ballpark? The led ribbon boards to be that green led style like at target field

This was a massive undertaking and it's where we knew the time and resources were best spent. The word oversight means unintentional failure to notice or do something. There is no oversight here having players be called up based on performance was never in the design plans this year so it's not a major oversight, its not an oversight at all.

I'd like to personally thank you for spending a good portion of your resources on franchise mode. I'm very excited about this part of the game, not only this year but future years. When you use the words "start over" that shows me the developmental team has big plans for this mode. Last year we were told franchise mode was improved but it really wasn't, by completely scrapping it and starting over (as you put it) that should have all of us optimistic that this time we will start to see some improvements.

Can I "LIKE" this more than once?

I rarely post but check the form all the time,but I must say I am ready to pre-order this game.I didn't buy last year game since I am just a franchise player(with my son)and didn't see much improvement from 11(We still play that game).It's a must buy for me now.Can't wait!!

You seem really defensive, no offense. Look, we appreciate you taking the time to communicate with us (wait, that's your job, right?), but I would like to ask that you not talk down to the members here. We're just looking to get our questions (about the game) answered, nothing more, nothing less. I'll bow out.

Normally I try to ignore these sorts of comments, but I can't this time. I am embarrased by this response to Russell and the SCEA dev team. Nothing "makes" them have to come here to answer our questions and provide feedback. It's a privlige, not a right. I would think you'd appreciate a nice detailed response from a developer, and not chastise him. I don't believe he was talking down to you but rather explaining why certain things were focused on in the development cycle.
