Yes Franchise is underwhelming. If DD was not in the game at all what would those resources be focused on? RTTS and Franchise would.

It didn't kill MVP or 2K....
Oh......yeah....not making money did that.

O.S. GRIPE LEVEL....OVERLOAD!!!
Wow.

(basically saying they didn't know if he was a new player) Like really, he's a second-year manager? Terrible. I am extremely mad about all of this.

Yea, they had no clue who he was. Not like the Rangers made the playoffs or anything...

Nobody played you. You getting your hopes up when Ramone said "watch the stream" isn't on him.

As for Banister, they forgot who he was...it happens. They then confirmed he was approved and in-game.

On the fact list it showed that they addressed the logic regarding call ups/send downs but they didn't go into detail.

Different teams work on each mode, no mode in the game are given more resources than another.

500k and 490k never complete year 1

Have you asked them about it? We got the playoff stamina question answered in a few minutes.

No a horrible game killed 2k. For MVP I cant speak on.

I know it make them money. I'm not saying that its a bad thing. The minute one pack is bought by anyone it makes them more money then franchise does. These $100 dollar plus games only happen because of DD.

That does not take away the fact that most improvements by far for 2 years in a row have gone to DD, yet OS is a very franchise dedicated fanbase and as you can see by many responses, people are underwhelmed. They have been teasing a franchise overhaul for 3+ years now, when is it going to happen?

Well of course they are. When you have X amount of money from year to year. And most of that is spent on one mode or another.

Curious to where you pulled this number from. You have access to the same data the devs do?

# 56 Bobhead @ 03/03/16 07:15 PM

Are they only answering questions asked via Twitter? I don't have one.

# 57 bcruise @ 03/03/16 07:15 PM

Was trade frequency slider already known? Because that was just confirmed on stream.

Yes they have previously stated that, I think.
