It's just something I've wanted for a long time. Unlimited options, and the ability to create ballparks of the past.

I can add my own advertisements, to reflect the real ads in current stadiums, this would go a long way to add to the realism.

Let's not forget that all the game play and attribute changes effect franchise. Ball physics, human AI, secondary position attribute hits, graphics, and so many other things. There are things that I too would have liked to see in franchise, but I don't feel disappointed in the least. 17 is a huge upgrade from 16 if you ask me.

If the number of units sold inreases significantly, and sony inreased the budget, I have to believe SDS would work to increase both things for casual gamers as well as hardcore gamers.

He looked at the code and told us we can't do this in 8 months it's too much code, too risky, and that would be the only thing we got. So we choose to work on Quick manage and critical situations. We love these features, our SVT wants these features and they took all 8 months to implement correctly. Nothing is as easy as it might seem on the outside.

I know you guys are a small dev team but only 1 guy doing franchise is pretty crazy. Especially with an in-depth mode like that. Any plans in the future to add to the franchise team to focus more on it?

No indication has been given, but for obvious reasons, player quirks will need to be dynamic not something that is assigned for a whole career. I don't at all mind the enhancements to simulation even though I won't take part in it. It is nice to know that it's there incase I ever did need it to be a more sophisticated version like it is now.

My most interesting takeaway from the new info was the alteration to team budgets bringing it more urgency making it a weekly tab. The problem I have with that is attendance never has been dynamic enough so it would need to be addressed too.

You could not be more wrong about that.

Weekly Cash Flow is nice but does it really change that much during a season? Unless you make trades/play well it will be the same each week. No mention of Improved Free Agency/Scouting/Drafting/Progression, Editing Coaches. As mentioned by a lot of us, they are really catering to Casual/New players which is understandable don't get me wrong. Just wish they also took some time and considered the experienced and die hard Franchise players. I'd be very surprised if the mode doesn't get a lot of love next year.

As far as critical moments inside 30 team franchise.

I am 99.99% sure you can toggle critical moments on and off for all 30 teams so you can pick and choose which teams you want that for when you sim games on the schedule.

Pretty cool.
