That about sums up my thoughts on it. Thanks for removing season mode though! Can't wait to play less baseball, you know, on a baseball game... Genius!

Uhhh...yeah that's not for me at all. Looks like there's gonna be a lot of disappointed people who thought Season Mode was being rebranded. I just hope that field reporter is also in franchise mode. That's my main takeaway.

Ewww, that’s an anticlimax. Imagine if they’d spent all that time putting those nice overlays and slick new features into the franchise mode they already have. Of the people who wanted season mode back, I wonder how many wanted THIS?

Like who asked for this, literally? Who sat there and said they wanted anything like this? Cause it sure as hell hasn’t shown up anywhere I’ve ever seen discussions for this game.

Quit trying to make baseball something it is not! If you don’t believe you can sell the product of baseball and it’s gameplay and season then maybe you should make some other kind of game.

Nothing feels more fake and rushed to me than to play an inning of a game, do well or do poorly and then have that impact how the next handful of simulated games go. If this is the direction this franchise is heading then maybe it is time for me to abandon ship. Putting time into stuff like this with all of the other glaring issues and omissions. No thank you.

Horrible, simply horrible.

I love playing every game. I can suck at one game and deliver the next.
Sweeping series, winning the rubber game or just getting 1 out of 3 or 4, keeping me in the race for the pennant.

That is what i like doing, so i will continue to play franchise. I'm now used to the fact that we don't have season mode anymore.
I play franchise with everything turned to auto, and it's fine for what i want.

This new mode is - for me - a complete waste of time and resources.
I assume this is their way to get some casual players to play a season in this way?
No idea what they were thinking, but i'm clearly not the person they target their game to. I accept that and still enjoy the game for what it is.

Hope they will continue to improve the gameplay aspect, as i'm fine to continue to play franchise with classic rosters. Once that is gone (which i don't think will happen) i'm gone too.

It’s just the Moments mode in a season mode.

I would assume their data shows a lot of franchise players start but never finish a season so they probably think this will help.

I’ll stick with franchise mode though.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if critical situations was rebranded moments within franchise mode.
