This "news" is so incredibly disappointing. There is so much to be explored in franchise mode, but instead they basically focused on the lowest common denominator and just made it easier to fly through games. It's hard to believe this is all they managed to do in a full development cycle. I will still get the game at some point, but this went from a day 1 buy to something I'll pick up when it goes on sale.

Honestly, it's unfair to sit there and say it's disappointing in regards to what they've done this year. Last year they made a whole slew of changes when it came to offline franchise and there isn't much more they could have done to WOW people outside of throwing owner mode back in.

I was impressed with what they did last year even if it didn't make it into online franchise and they knew they needed to please not only the hardcore fans, but the casual.

Not to mention this video touched upon nothing to do with the Player Quirks and such.

Really like these new features. I really can't get through a whole season and this should help me be able to and get the full benefits of franchise mode.

I'm not sure if it's possible in tis year's game, but it would be cool if you could just watch the critical moments. If you are someone that sims a lot you are already relying on the AI to perform. So it would make sense that if you didn't want to be the deciding factor on whatever that critical moment is, then you may just want to "watch" the critical moment instead of playing it. Would still bring you into the game more than just seeing the text simulation.

Maybe something to add next year if it isn't already in or too hard to do. Either way I definitely like the critical moments idea and think it's something that can be really expanded upon over the next couple of years.

This video was much more impressive than I was expecting after the earlier teases. I can see using both of these new features and the implementation looks pretty good too.

That said, I absolutely want as much development time devoted to simulating a full length real life broadcast as is clearly being spent speeding things up for those who can't or choose not to play full length games. We are already given play length options, please go all the way and allow us to see and control everything if that's the play experience we want. It would be great if there was a companion piece to this video where Ramone was showing off how they'd absolutely nailed the actual pace of a baseball game complete with perfectly intuitive menus that allowed you to manage/strategize during the game's natural downtime just like IRL.

I'll also say (yeah, call me a Debbie Downer, whatever) that the early teases of these features were simply not rolled out well. Perhaps said features are just not suited to rushed descriptions but it really does help to see Critical Situations and especially Quick Manage played out in real time. These sit-downs with Ramone continue to be the most informative and thus effective game previews for me this year.

I gotta assume you can watch the Critical Moments. Just jump into the game and then go to Select Sides and make it CPU vs. CPU. Takes 2 seconds.

I am really looking forward to using Quick Manage in my Chises. I tend to play a handful of games per month thru a season and now in '17 I'll ablè to be more involved in my teams season. Great addition!! I know these guys have a few more surprises in the Twitch Stream Thursday, keep positive! Those Developers do a great job on this game every year!

Good call, wasn't thinking of that
