And as a result of this approach, they are now making Franchise more accessible to the majority of their audience.

If it works, and Franchise becomes the major mode, it will then see more requests, and in turn more improvements. There's no electoral element in this process.

Pardon my ignorance, but what is HDR? My guess would be high def resolution but I'm not sure what that means for the game, if it is that.

Not much new in the stream that hadn't been explained already but at least it was well organized and presented. Big improvement over the previous streams in that department, hopefully the trend continues. I did think that Nick's quiet aside that the people watching the stream weren't likely to care about one of the (many) novice elements they were talking about at the time was... amusing.

So the Franchise Season 2 schedule could be preset to be what the 2010 (for example) real MLB schedule was, Season 3 could be 2011, etc. etc. That way we would be able to have variety of interleague games without the massive effort of getting all the dynamic scheduling logic right. I'm sure this is the equivalent of someone telling NASA "why don't we just build a bigger rocket?" to build a manned mission to Mars, but the point is, this is a HUGE drawback to franchise mode currently and maybe it's time to take a different tack in order to achieve it.

I appreciated Ramone's explanation of the team's choice not to include dynamic rotating IL schedules. An explanation for why something as straightforward as your suggestion can't be implemented would also be nice. Unless I'm mistaken, don't they already start repeating schedules after a few years into multi-season modes? Or was it just a freak occurrence for me when I felt like I was repeating my first year's schedule about five years later?

I suppose the post you were responding to could be construed as attacking the developers but that doesn't excuse the fact that yours isn't even close to being a constructive post. It's the equivalent of the political insult 'America: love it or leave it!'

I rather doubt the developers want unsatisfied forum members to just stop buying the game. They wouldn't bother posting on here if they didn't consider member feedback useful. Whether it outweighs the needs of their focus groups is another matter. Hopefully this year's new franchise interface and play options resolve the casuals' issues during this year's focus groups so the team can feel comfortable focusing on more meaningful upgrades in this area for '18.

Whoa now. This will be interesting. My guy is maxed out, so if I notice a bit difference in his yearly stats, I can probably attribute it to the change in physics, etc. that should be interesting.

Man I really feel like people are harping on the major thing or two they want but didn't get and completely dismissing the great things the team actually did do.

If they didn't make such huge strides in other areas that are relevant to every single game mode then yea I am more understanding of complaints.

It's just my opinion that they had a solid mix of improving features that everyone can enjoy.

Please remember that I've been one to hammer home my wants in threads too but some of you come off as complete jerks. Chill with that
