That would be great news for me. Add in new gameplay and franchise features and I'm good.

However, I'm curious to see what else has been added in franchise mode on top of that because there are definitely things that I would have rather seen added to the mode. For instance, better trade and contract options like front and back loaded contracts, more than 3 players allowed per team in a trade, potential for opt-outs in deals, non-roster Spring Training invites, etc. Also, I'd rather see more added to a GM mode. More so just having more to do. Updating facilities, adding seats (stuff like before with ticket prices and whatnot), plus other ways of making money instead of just sponsors. Things like negotiating TV deals based on team performance and market. Attendance could also be affected by star power on the team vs. a team that is rebuilding with just a bunch of young guys. However, if those young players are top 100 prospects, there could be "star power" with that too. Just like people love to come out and watch a guy like Trout, but there is also a base that loves coming out to watch the new guys like Bryant, Seager, Correa, etc. when they first came up. Lastly, it would be interesting/realistic if there was something like a seasonal stamina bar for pitchers and players. They have the current one, which is nice to make your guy wait and pitch 5 days later, but I'm thinking more for like teams like the Dodgers and Pirates, who when they brought up guys like Urias and Taillon, those guys weren't going to pitch 200 innings. With this a 6th (optional) rotation slot could be added in order to limit workloads when you have a young staff (like the Mets tried). This could tie into injury ratings to differentiate between guys that are reliable for 220 IP+ vs guys like Strasburg, who has good stamina per game, but won't hit 200 IP. The same could be said of top positional prospects that are called up and not used to playing a 162 game season. This would obviously make you need to put way more thought into franchise, and maybe that's something most wouldn't want. Just an idea.

I could be wrong, but I remember as far back as maybe MLB the show 15 you could negotiate a TV deal that would pay out based on your teams success and market. I don't know, could have been further back.

That existed in ps2 days and was lost somewhere along the road in ps3 days.

I'm loving the player quirks and quick manage (I sim games for time sake, and occasionally watch big time games) but these seem to be the only improvement I'm excited for so far in regards to Franchise mode. I'm hoping the deep dive has some hidden gems of info.

I started playing The Show in 08 on the PS3, and it was in from that point until around 2012. At some point around there (I don't know the exact year), before the first year on the PS4, it was all scrapped and Owner mode was basically gutted. It was a real disapointment. I balked at buying the PS3 version in 2014, and only later bought it at a discount when I upgraded to the PS4 for the improved graphics.

If the Dodgers win a 100 games this season, I'll eat my socks.

So by the numbers you have presented if the Dodgers play .500 ball for the remainder of the season they will finish around 115 or 116 wins. Doesn't seem to far off. Note: not a Dodger fan.

Has it been announced anywhere how many different quirks there are?
I wonder if some of them are going to be assigned according to maybe a combination of attribute ratings. Like something with basestealers, someone who has a 90+ speed, 90+ steal ability and maybe a 90+ aggression.

People, let's not forget. Ont he Main Menu in Franchise Mode R1 takes you to other different menus that this video did not show. So cross your fingers for tomorrow because you may never know what's in those menus.

Heck, this screenshot below tells me franchise might very well be revamped and be as deep as what we are all wanting...'Weekly Cashflow'???
