It'll help me speed up my rebuilding White Sox franchise haha

This. Exactly what I've wanted in a video game

Looks great!

Sportscast Manager was great, but this looks to be soooo much better. By the looks of it, you'll be able to switch back/forth during the game. Which solves the problems with double switches. Plus SM had some other issues with steals, hit and runs, etc. I'm hoping this will answer that as well.

Indeed!

I'm really hoping that online franchise will see some love this year.

If that menu is included in manage mode then I see one new thing - pitch to contact. There were in previous versions bugs which had the cpu taking over for the user and making decisions. 99% of that has been cleaned up but I suspect in some situations the cpu decides to pitch around a batter with a runner in scoring position and first base open.

If my theory is correct then pitch to contact is a welcome addition.

The additional gameplay video footage was also interesting. Thanks to the op for the video.

It's so frustrating reading sports game impressions and reviews from people who aren't even sports fans. This happens on sites like ign and gamespot where the people reporting on the game have little experience with past games in the series and little knowledge of the actual sport itself.

Thank God for a site like operationsports. I can actually trust the opinions and views of the writers on the site.

Just heard from Ramone on the Facebook live video that the MLB network video presentation package was 'leaked'
I had a feeling we weren't suppose to see it yet 😂😂
