The quicker ways to play are launch pad. Not front office. He even said it's the launch pad soon as he selected the game.

I did hear Russel say front office a few times during the video but i'm really hoping that he just misspoke. If not I really don't know what the front office part would be because on the screen it says launch pad in the bottom right while selecting how you want to play.

In response to complete games, you should be seeing no more than 10 total per month (about 60 per season) total through all of MLB. This has been an issue for years, unfortunately.

Unless he misspoke, at 9:28 he says "...giving you different ways to be involved in franchise mode and play more games without having to spend a lot of time..people don't wanna sim they wanna be involved and that's what critical situations and franchise front office allows you to do."

Launch pad is just the screen itself, the entire package they are calling franchise front office.

When I have the time I prefer to play the entire 9 innings on Broadcast presentation which on average takes me about 2 hours to complete my games. But I do feel somewhat disconnected from what is going on around the league when I just do the instant simming of all the other games in the league for a given day. It appears that "Quick Manage" will be an interesting way to observe the play from all the other games and get a feel for who is doing well and who is in a slump. Assuming it's still in the game, the Sportscast Manager also does this, but it takes about 10 minutes to play each game as each pitch is simmed. The "Quick Manager" games only sims an individual plate appearance, not each pitch. So it should be faster. I hope the "Quick Manager" feature is also available in Season modes, not just the Franchise mode.

I believe it was raining in the new Cubs bullpen under the stands. But maybe it's so realistic and the stands are actually leaking ☺

Unless it was like that last year (don't remember), I'm going to guess WIP.
