I saw this video now. EA MVP 2005 was a great game. I hope someday, this feature will be included in MLB The Show.

So, I was talking about franchise mode with a friend last night and we discussed our frustrations with the mode last year as I was telling him what we've learned so far for this year (he doesn't follow along).

In that, I realized that I forgot to ask about a few things that were left unaddressed in 16 that maybe could have made it into 17 without getting a mention in the stream since they wouldn't necessarily qualify as noteworthy features/fixes for a lot of people:

1) The option for delayed trades. It was removed last year and was mentioned and reported a bunch. I know it was speculated that it was perhaps removed due to an issue with offers getting pulled with the delay on in 15.

It was also reportedly being looked at during patch cycles last year, so hopefully the devs figured it out and it was quietly added back for 17 as, IMO, it's an invaluable tool for 30 team control.

2) This is VERY minor, but in 16, after a player was resigned or signed a FA deal in the offseason, his previous season was recorded as TOT for the team played instead of the actual team he played on. The issue was that they apparently based that on the calendar year instead of the baseball season, since anyone signed in the new calendar year had correct stats.

This was organizational as well, meaning it was the same for minor league players even if they only played at the MLB level for one of the teams (hope that makes sense!).

Ideally, this will eventually be changed to displaying more than just TOT anyway (such as both teams AND the total), but hopefully at least that one aspect was addressed.

3) The stats section of the player card was missing in the lineup screen and in-game for 16. Also, I don't think you could see minor league players' season stats on player card at all anymore.

4) You could no longer see team totals on the bottom of the player stats screen. It was replaced by the toggle info for 16's new stat sorting.

Again, none of these are huge deals or anything (though the trade delay ranks as pretty important to me, at least), but these are all things that would certainly add to 17 while being minor enough to potentially fall under fixes/improvements that might not be the kind of things mentioned in feature overviews (we do get some of these every year).

Plus, at one time or another, I believe they were all reported to the dev team via bug reports, meaning they should have been on their radar. So, I'm hoping there was enough time and/or feasibility for at least a couple of these to be addressed for 17.

No confirmation that I've seen/read that 10 day DL is in the game.

Please stop. We don't need any trolling.

Which you could do before but hey it was too hidden so here it is more clearly visible.
