It definitely will look the same at first. If someone is just an average fan and doesn't know any different I wouldn't blame them for thinking that. It's usually not until a week before and then when we get it that it looks different. Although past few iterations things haven't changed much IMO player wise anyways

I still don't see what is so bad about the current graphics.

I may be setting myself up for disappointment, but I am hoping that "Franchise Launch Pad" is a new relocation/expansion mode for franchise.

We would be able to "launch" a new franchise, and use the Diamond Dynasty logo/uniform creator to design the look of the new franchise.

After that, we would be able to pick a stadium where our new franchise would play home games. I would not expect a stadium creator this year, but perhaps if they expanded such a mode in the future, they could include that feature.

I guess we will find out in a few weeks, but I am crossing my fingers!

It's more likely to be where you can start a franchise at any point of the season, in real life, and all stats and results from real life are up to date in your franchise. Then from that point on you control the results.

What I really want is that aspect, but where you only control your games and the rest of the league is based on real life. So if the Cubs are 60-34 in real life and your A's are 40-52, you only impact what the A's are doing and the Cubs stats are based on real life. The only time the Cubs stats would change based on your playing is if you played A's vs Cubs in the franchise. Then the Cubs stats would vary, slightly, from real life.

Doubt the latter part happens anytime soon in a video game, but pretty sure launchpad is the first described part in my post here.

That would be phenomenal. Last year by now they had already confirmed it was not in the game so until they officially deny it we can dream. There are enough classic stadiums now to be able to pick a stadium to your liking. The big thing for me would be to have my own created team and as you said use the diamond dynasty created logo and uniforms.

Excuse me if it's obvious, but why is your speculation more likely? The only information we have received are the words "Franchise Launch Pad". Like I said, my speculation is likely incorrect, but I'm not sure how you can be confident in a new feature based on three words.
