It hasn't been changed in 3 years. It's justified. Last year the schedule wasn't even updated and the mode was unplayable the first month of the season due to the challenge failed problem.

Seems to be same as in years past.

I agree on all the cool presentation stuff, but for franchise itself there wasn't much. Games like madden, NHL, and 2k give a ton more to do. It sounds silly but what I would give to schedule a Gary Sanchez bobble head night in my yanks franchise!
At the very least Im holding out hope for non roster invitees, but I'd be shocked if those were added.. the clear focus was quicker ways to play franchise. As one who plays every game it's a let down for sure

From what they show from those videos: ignoring the new coat of paint, in terms of actual gameplay and option changes

Front office is just Budget screen, nothing changed except the addition of "Bank"? (tiny writing says cash flow is added to bank every Friday of regular season, but no mention of what this means) Hopefully this means some kind of ability to save money one year to use another, rather than just a name for buying money.
Draft looks exactly the same.
Sponsors exactly the same.
GM goals exactly the same.
Mode specific options broken into 3 different sections, but the same options.
Morale screen is new, way of seeing all players morale for the various criteria, don't know if this indicates a change in anything or whether it's just a new way of viewing the information.
Scouting screen looks exactly the same.
Training is exactly the same.
Trades are still the same, no ability to offer cash more than 3 players or retain salary. (huge disappointment)
Contract screen looks exactly the same.

Don't think I missed any screens, but maybe people saw something I didn't in those screens?

I did notice when they talked about Training, the showed a cut scene of Wil Meyers working on Defense at First Base.

I don't believe there were playable training sessions in Franchise last year, only outside of the mode and in RTTS.

Maybe if you can play training sessions, you can develop players faster? Easier?

Where did you see that stat tracking was the same and that we don't have rotating interleague matchups?

Everyone needs to take a step back. We haven't even seen the stream yet.

I know, I play in multiple online leagues, but putting the same post in nearly every thread is a bit excessive
