I think this is very important for me. You can now get through games of your farm system in 5 minutes. it gives you a chance to actually play with the minors. I personally didn't before but this changes that. I will be able to see how good/bad prospects are instead of just going by purely stats.

Great addition IMO. I think this and Ball Physics is just enough to upgrade from 15 to 17.....heck ball physics alone...OHHH and commentary is enough for me.

There is always next year.

Graphics are great as usual. I for the life of me cannot understand why a rotating interleague schedule is such an issue. We can open and close roofs, but we can;t schedule different teams after year one? Very dissapointing. It was done 15 years ago with other Baseball games. Its just hard to understand why it can't be done with the best sports game on the market

Me, personally, I like the new features. I love playing franchise mode. Play damn near every game, but the quick manage is something that's going to help me get through multiple years. That has been a problem for me. People who play every single game that are harping about no changes should realize that gameplay has been drastically improved. Sure, I would love to set prices for stadium stuff, but I'm one of those guys who likes the upgrades they did. Quirks just put it over the top for me. It's going to be fun building rosters. Again, this is all just my opinion. What the hell do I know?

Tremendous letdown. Think it was 2 years ago or so said they had big things planned for franchise. I haven't seen too much so far although traits is a great addition for player differentiation. almost worth a purchase alone.

I'm cool with real progress made every 2 years instead of annually, but I'm tired of hearing about "ball physics" every year...Then again, that's probably because I have no problem at all with the ball physics.

Sticking with '16 this year. Just started year 2021 in my franchise. Still having enough fun to last me through the dark times

Anyone know for sure if critical incidents includes career milestones? The stream only showed late inning stuff and single games milestones.

But if I have to load up the game to see it every time then I won't be using it much. Hard to manage a bullpen when you have no idea how many pitches your starter has thrown.

Enter the game and then just go back to "Quick Manage" once seen pitch count

I am really excited about Quirks because I feel it adds an extra layer of strategy to the game.

However, I wish they would put a star or something next to the Quirks that are player specific and effect hitting/pitching so we can distinguish those from the "Quirks" that are just present because their attributes generated them.

I think these things should actually have two separate names:

1. Player Profile (or something) = Attributes generated "quirks"
2. Quirks = Play Specific "quirks" that impact gameplay in situational ABs

I can identify with pretty much everyone in here. I am very excited about 17 but being a 'Chise guy I am left a little disappointed after this week but at the same time happy with the additions. I usually play my franchise with the method of; Play one month, sim one month, repeat. With critical moments and quick manage, I can get to have more control over my team. That is if my star players don't all get injured for the year after two or three games simulated. Kudos to the team for implementing a way for me have more control without actually playing games.

With that being said one piece of franchise that needs to be addressed is progression/regression. I see too many players regress after a bad season, or mediocre season and just fall off the map. Yes, it happens but not to five All Stars every year. In one franchise the Astros traded Jose Altuve to the Dodgers, no big deal, trades happen. However, by 2019 he was a 73 overall and the next year he couldn't get a contract and then retirement by 2021. This scenario has happened with multiple players and it gets frustrating that the stars of the game are forced out before they hit their prime. On the other end of this, we also see good players reach 35 and decide it is time to retire no matter what. Hopefully, regression/progression/retirement has been tweaked. Players do decide to retire early sometimes or hang them up after great seasons but it happens less than rain outs/double headers.

My only other wish for franchise would be in-season contract extensions. I know they've talked about working on it in the past and I don't know the level of difficulty but this is the only thing I can think of that happens semi-regularly that we don't get that actually impacts your team. As much as I would like this it doesn't hurt the game without it. This is something I feel would add to the authenticity.
