Yes.....agree 100%!! I will also throw in my annual hope for extended boxscore stats.

It would make sense they have a better historical statistics tracking because with the new ways to get through seasons faster, it would behoove them to implement more historical stat tracking, awards, championships. It'd be a shame to have us play more seasons with the new features, but not be able to go back and see historically what happened.

I've really wanted a good manage mode, similar to what you see in OOTP, this looks pretty good. The only thing I'm afraid of is pitch counts. I forget what year it was, but super sim in Madden had no idea how to use a play clock and you ran WAY too many plays, I'm afraid of Manage Mode not giving us a realistic number of pitches. Jumping into a a crucial 8th inning at bat only to see the starter has 65 pitches will be a killer for me.

I doubt this will be the case. They have been using Sportcast Manager for years and pitch counts as well as pulling SPs has been pretty realistic. I wouldn't worry too much about it. I think it will function very well.

I do wonder, however, if these would require loading everything for a new environment (stadium, players, jerseys, etc.). The situation itself probably takes the least to load, especially since it's assumed they have already loaded the situation in the background (which prompted the critical moment).

Don't know if it can be done too quickly is all.

Hope for the best but expect the worst.


As someone who has only dabbled in Franchise I doubt we see many more details tomorrow. There will probably be a few tidbits but anything major would have been included, at least in my opinion.

Which is disappointing. I mean honestly quick manage is a huge plus for me and I like the idea of the Quirks, but after seeing so many other great things I guess I was hoping they invested more time into franchise mode.

I guess they can only utilize so many resources every year. If I owned a Ferrari, someone might assume I am rich... but little would you know that is what I spent every dime on that I have earned in my life. Finitism, folks. Time and money.

Though we are likely not going to see something like stadium creation this year, they still could have added dozens of little things. You won't see the new grass colors as something on the back of the box, but it's a very much welcomed improvement in my eyes and makes a world of difference for sure. The same can be said for many other franchise items of note they will hopefully include tomorrow.

Yeah it was probably more of just a dumb expectation since NHL, NBA and Madden all of that feature in now.
