Probably just assign either a random value or a neutral/average value (or a combo, i.e. random around a range, so ratings tend to get assigned like a bell curve)

It's like when OOTP switch ratings systems from OOTP8 to OOTP9 (introduced individual pitches), the guys had pitch ratings based on their Stuff ratings.

Same for OOTP 5 and earlier and OOTP6.

I never played ASB so...

I'm just curious as to how it will work, will the counts just be pure random, etc.

Don't know why things have to be black and white.

I guess I should go out of town for work more often. I check the site for the first time in a week today and see this thread. Well done, SCEA. Well done.

We don't have 100% certainty on how it will work at this time.

I don't like to ague with people, I like to be positive about this fantastic game. However I would point out there were people who were distraught about things like stadium upgrades, setting promotions and pricing hot dogs being removed from franchise. I was glad to see them removed but others evidently enjoyed them.

But in regard to generated pitch counts as Russell pointed out, fast play will remain an option with full pitch count.

I would therefore edit your comment to say they do sometimes remove features but I have yet to see them remove a feature I miss.

My only concern is since I didn't pre-order a ps4 whether I will have one by March 2014.

Ramone has said it won't be like ASB......I'm sure BrianSCEA spent a lot of time to come up with what's most realistic.
Plus they always listen to our feedback ....so I'm confident it will be a beneficial addition.

That's fair. I didn't realize they removed those options from franchise mode.
