All good. This is a great game and I plan on spending lots of time with it after a few months off. The rebranding sounds interesting, but I think it might have some limitations right now, and that's okay. Ready for the real spring training to start and will be keeping my franchise (30 team control) updated until the game arrives. Ready to go. When all is said, this team has given us a wealth of options to make the game work. Kudos.

I participated in the beta and some of the things I saw in the crowd (concession items), the hitting felt better even if I was not getting my timing down (I typically use a custom camera aimed more lower in the strikezone) and the announcement of franchise rebranding have me over the moon though I want more details before I preorder for sure. I love the 2k-badge approach for RTTS which I'm hoping can translate over to Franchise so I know what kinda hitter I'm dealing with though I'm 7 years in at this point.

As I did for 19, will wait for release and reviews from folks here on OS before deciding if worth the upgrade.

If there are solid upgrades to the franchise mode, then I'll be buying it.

I'm looking forward to seeing the gameplay changes in the finished product. Also intrigued by the Full Minor League Rosters tidbit and what that holds in store.

Also curious to see how in depth the rebranding of teams is inside franchise mode and what all in entails. Not something I'm personally excited about, but curious nevertheless to see what all is involved, and really glad that it appears to be a step in the right direction for many in the community who were looking for this level of customization.

It's too early to determine whether I buy MLB 20 or pass on it. To base the decision on a trailer is just wrong. I need to wait to see what is said in the various developer streams. Historically I was a "Season" Manage Only player and have bought the game every year since MLB 2012. Now I have zero interest in DD and could care less about hot dog sales and/or creating a new fictional stadium after relocating some current MLB organization to Timbuktu. With that said, two years ago I got into RTTS, so my ultimate decision on "buy MLB 20" or "do not buy" will be based on what sort of changes were made to RTTS this year. If the only changes are new perks and/or the ability to play high school or college games for your RTTS player, I will pass since I am not planning on starting any new RTTS players. I have a new'ish RTTS player who was recently called up to the major league and at least for now he is the starting SS (on a bad team), so I plan on continuing using him for my RTTS games.

Listened to, appreciated, and optimistic for the first time in many years.
