This is the first time I have ever said something like this, and I will wait until tomorrow and Thursday to form an opinion. But this could be a deal breaker for me even with all of the new stuff added. I don't want or need a quicker gameplay experience.

I made an earlier post along the lines of this concern of the game becoming to fast play for the masses. I was hoping we had a few more years before it became an issue for me. Well I will just cross my fingers and hope it all turns out well.
45 minutes sounds like how long it takes me for a fast play game. I think those are just minimum guidelines for the different modes - we all know that when you get sucked into multiple baserunning and fielding situations in RTTS that it can take longer than 10 minutes for a game.

Based on what we saw in the presentation video while it was CPU vs CPU, I don't see the presentation as being cut down. At around 44:40 of the stream they start their CPU game. Granted there was an occasional pause to show off something cool, but by 1:10 when they paused to take control of the gameplay they'd only reached 2 outs in the top of the 2nd. Around 25 minutes for 1 1/2 innings, and I think that was on Hybrid.

Loving Bum's face in the video. Still think he could use a few more pounds of muscle though.

This could literally be the only change to full season modes and I'd be satisfied for another year.

Ramone tweeted to "watch the stream on Thursday" in response to this question, so....stay tuned.

Highly agreed! I have the same concern hopefully Thursday's stream will address this!

The new interface looks nice but I'm not convinced that the actual gameplay of franchise mode will be any less redundant than in the past.

Sounds like MoM (MoM heads correct me if I'm wrong). Interesting though...
