You are certainly entitled to your opinion. I really don't see why a lot of the posts in this thread are felt to be necessary. But you all get to express your thoughts why should I not be allowed to express mine?

I thought the various options they offered for playing through franchise mode were really compelling.

I love the idea of being able to quick-manage a game or many games, while also retaining the ability to jump in and actually play longer stretches of those games.

I also really love the idea of being able to hop in and play critical moments in games where statistical milestones are involved, or where there's a crunch-time situation.

That kind of makes you feel like you're "in" on more of the key moments in your franchise without having to devote a whole 45 minutes or more to each played game. It also adds to the memory factor of the franchise experience, which I'm big on.

I really am impressed by the way SCEA gives you so many ways to enjoy the game. Kudos! #can'twait

I'll wait until the Deep Dive to say anything. Not like a minute and a half is going to tell us much.

You definitely are. But when your opinion is just trashing others opinions that is when I take offense. There are lots of people who have said they like the new features too. Awesome! But your previous post contained no opinion on the new features or improvements. It was going after other peoples thoughts on them. Anyways I would rather keep this thread about the video so that's all I will say about that.

These are features I'll probably never use..."BUT"...I used to say that about Diamond Dynasty and I played DD as much as Franchise this past year.

I'll try it out when the game drops and go from there.

Can't wait till Thursday to find out more.

I pretty much play online franchise exclusively...yes, there are dozens of us. But these new game modes may tempt me to at least give offline franchise a try. I've always wanted to do it, but I've never even come close to having the time. I've tried to play maybe one game per week and sim the rest, but it was pretty unsatisfying. This sounds interesting.

That said, I still need to put a plug in for online franchise and hope they have addressed some of the more blatant bugs.

Is regular MoM as we know it today still in the game?
