I know we have in game ticker but i would love for the commentary to speak about the seeding and whats happening

Not to nitpick, but game 175 would be game 7 of the LCS....pretty sure they'll have a different feel.

That really sucks about interleague schedules not rotating. I hope they address the playoff pitching stamina issue in the franchise stream. Maybe a few people can ask about it; I would, but I won't be home for it.

This would happen because the interest for this other team was also maxed, despite their offer not being as much as mine. Realistically the player would have most likely took the huge contract I was offering, but previously the CPU would simply randomly select from any contract that garnered 100% interest and sign with them. Thankfully, it was stated in the video this was tuned so the CPU will weight contracts based on amount and the additional traits added this year.

It will be interesting to see how the new free agent dynamic plays out since it is somewhat tied into player morale. I suspect a lot of people will over promise just to sign a guy.

An interesting feature for the future would be you gain traits while running your franchise - perhaps in GM mode or maybe without using GM mode. For example if you break promises made to free agents you gain a trait which hurts your ability to sign players in future years. If you keep promises you get a positive trait. If you fire the manager or coaches every time a better one pops up during the off season you gain a trait which makes it more difficult to hire a manager or coach.

If it was easy it would have been done already.

Should that really matter though? Regardless, for the sake of realism, schedules should rotate.

Also, what about those of us who play RTTS, and unless we change teams, literally can't play in 1/3 of the stadiums in the Show.

At least the schedule isn't game by game identical for offline Franchise each season. Online Franchise has the same exact game by game schedule no matter how many seasons you play.

Hopefully the schedules will get mixed up going from Online season to season this year.
