Online franchise took a giant leap two years ago. It had many new features then that offline did not get.

The team of devs have been consistent in touching all aspects and modes of the game on cycle.

You mean this? If so a lot of that is untrue

Put simply, I'm happy with what's been done. Would I like things like non-roster invites and rotating schedules? Of course I would. Is it going to matter when I'm playing the game? No. I'm happy with the additions and more importantly, it's not like this Franchise Mode is at NHL or NBA Live level. It's one of the best around and so I get more worried when things are overhauled rather than make tweaks and minor additions.

And truthfully, the player morale system is way more than a tweak. It can fundamentally change player behaviour both in game and off the field. I'm excited to see how this all plays out.

On behalf of Luis, who's trying to ease your concerns about progression:

Performance-Based Progression is not a one-size fits all system for every player. Every attribute level has an expected stat value associated with it, so the drop you saw with Avisail Garcia was "extreme" because he had a good Con vs L attribute to begin with. You shouldn't worry about the system getting out of hand, since these expected values are updated along with attribute progression. This means Garcia would experience less of a drop if he performed exactly the same the following season.

Here's an example of a guy who hit .177 over 260 ABs versus righties, and not experiencing a single point drop in Con vs R:

On the flip side, here's someone hitting .331 versus lefties and only getting a one point increase:

In the end, our simulator is going to generate stats that are in line with player attributes the vast majority of the time, but when unusual breakouts/crashes occur, we want to capture them, since this happens in the Majors all the time.

Ramone, Call ups and send downs were listed on the stream but nothing was said. What has been changed?

I think they said it's now based on performance.
