Quick Manage is not MoM. It is closer to the Sportscast Telecast mode. However I would imagine that the Full Manage mode they speak of which is the button below the Quick Manager mode is the entry into MoM game play. If so, I view this as a good thing. In past years access to the MoM game mode was hidden meaning less people ever played it. If the Full Manage is MoM, it is no longer hidden.

I'm firmly in the "meh" camp. I would never use the quick manage or critical situation features (either I am playing the games out or simming the games - for me there is no in between). Judging from the responses here though, it sounds like they are giving features people like. So, while I will take a pass, it does sound like there are improvements, depending on how you play. I (as was mentioned by another OSer on another thread) was really hoping for better stat tracking (almanac, career leaders, award histories, etc). It is a great game, and they are just victims of their success - last year's game (and the one before that) remain outstanding games. So, for me personally, there is little reason to upgrade.

I am upgrading because I am looking forward to the new "round bat hits a round ball" physics as well as because of the "knock on wood it won't eliminate infield hits" the new human AI throwing changes. The added icing to the cake to make upgrading even more worth while will be the improved faces.

I am holding out hope that during tomorrow's stream/deep dive that stats have been expanded upon as well as an addition of career leaders, award histories, standings histories, and World Series Champions histories.

I don't see the Critical Situations as a way to get through a season faster. I play 30 Team control and play 162 with the Mets. But I plan on using Critical Situations as a way to play big moments for the other 29 teams in the MLB. If anything, my season will take much longer which is very exciting.

Uh I already know this, this is why I wrote "I thought Quick Manage was Manage Mode until I witnessed it".

If these features work for the minor league games then I will be using them to get more minor league play and control in my franchise for sure. I play full games for Major League games and usually try to play a few minor league games along the way to get the feel of the players so this would be great for that aspect of the game for me. I also agree that I would like to see a more immersive franchise experience of course. For me the ball physics, updated animations, Humanity AI, Stat Tracking, Presentation, more brands, Sounds of The Show slots and Player model upgrades are more than enough for me this year..All these things should add to the Franchise mode this year alone!

They're bating a solid 0.00 with these last two franchise video's. Hopefully the one on Thursday will be some what impressive and bump that average to a 3.33.
