The video was very underwhelming.

Pretty underwhelming teaser

Hoping for the more interesting franchise mode improvements/changes from the stream on thursday!

I wasn't expecting much, but I was expecting more...

Atleast they didn't touch the scouting system as they have done every year for the past 4 years.

I'm sure there will be more things in deep dive stream...I hope

Did you guys really expect this to announce all the new features? The Vlog doesn't even drop until tomorrow. And stream is Thursday.

# 5 BigOscar @ 03/06/17 11:12 AM

So just more ways to play Franchise mode without actually playing games? Bit disappointing tbh, as a player who plays every game it's essentially a whole lot of nothing unfortunately. Didn't have very high hopes tbh, companies seem to be moving away from putting effort into the classic offline game modes

Interesting additional features. But honestly don't think I will use any of them. I play every inning and every game of my franchise so they wont be an option for me. Though come to think about it, they might get some use down in my minor leagues. This could actually get me more time invested in playing even more of those game. So yeah never mind, opinion changing as I type this.

Ahh forgot about vlog. Hope restored, thanks

We'll have to see come Thursday about more details. They didn't touch weekly salary systems that I saw on past live streams, which gives me hope that there are more topics that will be touched Thursday as well.

# 11 mrCPUgeek @ 03/06/17 11:17 AM

I'm sure there will be more tomorrow and Thursday so I wouldn't get too worried or upset.

I'm pretty excited about Quick Manage mode. I always liked the Sportscast Manager, but it was very buggy. I'm so glad to see they have put this into the game.

I'm hoping for cleanup of some logic. New ways to access info with more menus. Actual top 50 tracked etc. With list.

I'm hoping they looked at budgets and salaries in relation to renewable vs arbitration vs free agent salaries.

Love these additions. I could see using Critical Situations a LOT in one of my secondary franchises where I do a lot of simming.

And Quick Manage is a welcome addition as opposed to "sim to next inning/half inning" only to see my set up man just gave up a 4 run lead because the AI didn't take him out in time. Again, probably more useful in my secondary franchise(s) where I would do more simming.

We'll see what else they added/updated in the V-Log and Franchise Twitch Stream.

# 14 JayD @ 03/06/17 11:23 AM

Wow, that was very underwhelming. I really hope that they added more than just speeding up franchise mode.

# 15 Sip_16 @ 03/06/17 11:23 AM

I do like the quick manage feature, I usually play every inning pitching and hitting for the first little while, but there are times where I will fast forward an inning here or there depending on time and the sim feature when fast forwarding frustrates me as the P is left too long or something like that. Anyways I love i can do that now but with control and jump back in.

Minor league stat tracking would be nice. Hard to develop guys when you cant see how they are doing

# 17 Mitchrapp @ 03/06/17 11:26 AM

What a bunch of Buzz kills.

Agreed. As someone who plays all games I was looking for more immersion in franchise. Not less. I have hope still though! The critical situations could be cool if we could use them in minor leagues though.

It's what this forum has become lately.
