Spending money for the game is not enough for any game developers anymore it's about the gimmicks to make you spend more after the fact. I enjoy creating a team for DD but that's about it and I don't really play online because of the cheese you always run into eventually every year. Which leads me to this Franchise mode was once again neglected for other modes anybody that has been here can see it. They dedicated a whole 30 minutes (wow) to this stream to let us franchisers down again. They always say it's a time issue well how about focusing on franchise just one year and make it interesting. The features they did add should be fun to fool with but come on guys you can do much better. A whole new structure to the way rosters work has been needed for a long time. franchise has become stale and will stay that way if not addressed more aggressively. I mean let's be serious here Showtime? how much time and effort was wasted on this feature? Does anyone actually sit and listen to the radio show between games? I love this title and will always stay with it because for one it's all there is but I hope they float away from these gimmicky type modes and focus more on realism like they used to. Now just so you know I am not hating on this game I can't wait for it to drop I'll be right there to get it as always i am very loyal to this title, but I will give my honest opinion about what I think. I mean even a few things would have been nice like editing coaches,firing mangers mid season,Expansion,Create a team,post game interviews,post game celebrations like a Gatorade bath, why have we not moved past AA by now with A ball and rookie leagues? It has been 10 years. Just my half dollars worth...

I will take paragraphs for $200.....Alex!

DD has it's own team, like Franchise/gameplay/art/etc. The reason we were let down was because of the leaked video that gave out the advanced stats stuff or the morale, don't remember which it was. These so called gimmicky aren't going away any time soon. As Marino stated earlier they bring in A LOT of money to these developers. You can fire coaches mid season. Been able to do that for a couple of years I think.

We must have a lot of programmers on this site. It seems everyone knows how much time it takes to develop certain parts of video games.

I think the reason people are let down is because that they let their expectations get too high.


It's been know for years that RTTS is the most played mode and they let us know that in '15 that DD made up some ground on RTTS. If this is the biggest player base for them then it is imperative that the dev team keeps them happy and purchasing the game every year. That is where they are making their money, and not just from micro-transaction but also retail game purchases.


And yes, they Franchise stream was short. Was that because there was nothing else to talk about or demonstrate or because they cut things short so that they could fit in four games of the Dev Tourney?


And I also don't think that we should forget that many of the features mentioned in previous streams also benefit Franchise. Updated animations, updated commentary that mentions and talks about past awards and stats, improved lighting in the stadiums, Sounds of the Show, etc.

Could be the case. The way it was presented (calling out 1, 3, and 4 as places a Star will want to hit) makes this appear less likely, but you might be right.

The issue is that batting a 2 hole hitter 2nd shouldn't make him mad at all. I'd rather my players get pissed off about the crap salaries I plan to negotiate with them...and them not already being mad about lineup position gives me more wiggle room to disgust my players.
