As someone who who only plays franchise mode...I'd be lying if I said I wasn't terribly disappointed

That was just put out by gamestop, I'm sure they are under embargo and can only reveal so much. That was just really an appateaser, the official meat and potato still yet to come.

Based on the previous post confirming that the presentation modes affect the average time(s) to complete a option.

I think the screen from Monday's Game Stop video is the replacement UI to this screen from MLB 16 before you start the game.

Hopefully this is the case and if I choose broad cast as my presentation option. I get to play a full 2hr+ broad cast presentation/season with a player locked from the start of a game! Hopefully!

Will Keuchel's Korner still work with a created player? I know his last name isn't among the names in the audio-available ones. Have new names been added to that?

It would also be nice to be able to use a first name for a last name or last name for a first name. I hate that a name is available but I can't use it. Also, being able hyphenate name would help. Then I could have Gary Guy-Eddy as the audio.

The problem is the game like many others these days has a multiple of modes. Franchise is not the "main" mode that it used to be- they clearly spent a lot of time on diamond dynasty and in past years they focused more on Road to the Show. They are due to put their focus on franchise soon but doesn't seem like it will be this year. With so many popular modes though- it's difficult to make big changes in all of them in one year.

Until they officially deny it everything is still possible. We have to stay positive.

Yep, hopefully there is a lot more to come.

Thanks, that makes sense. Manage mode from the calendar like before.
