I realize many of those features would be lost on a typical player and I understand that. If I played DD or RttS I'd probably still play buy the game. Its just the lack of any meaningful improvement to the realism of GM-type features doesn't make me feel like buying the game this year.
I co-sign every part of this post except the not buying the game part. Even with none of the additional franchise depth wanted (when do we get our "foundation year"?), this new version is still loaded with improvements. I can see myself watching the flight of the ball for about 5-10 games just to behold round-on-round ball physics. And the HDR + better player faces could make it appear like an enitirely new game.

BAWL FIZZICKS!!!

Gameplay looks like it clearly got the most attention which to me is a great thing. Because you know 98% of my time with the game is actually you know....playing baseball on the field.

I seriously can’t wait for 17.
For me - speaking only for myself - the biggest area of need was gameplay and that appears to have gotten the most attention. Since I'm in the show me state I'll wait until the disc is in the ps4 before I reach a conclusion about how the game plays but clearly they took a big swing at gameplay.

That said I understand the disappointment about what they chose to focus on in franchise. It seems a bit odd to focus on the sim aspect of franchise while at the same time spending so much programmer time on gameplay.

Yeah but the game already plays a great game of baseball. It has for like a decade now. This game's gameplay is the best representation of any sports game in my opinion.

So it's the other things that i pay attention too now that get me excited. The "aesthetics."

I don't know why, but when read out of context, this sounds so wrong.

It sounded perfectly normal until you pointed it out. Now excuse me while I head home to get my bawl fizzicks blown out of the water. I'm sorry guardians of the forums.....but you know you laughed too.

How nicely does the import franchise work when it comes to new features being added in the mode(s)? Obviously this year's items won't affect much, but even when it comes to you being in Year 12 of your franchise, and the game has possibly replaced certain skin tones, facial hair, etc. How much does this affect the players in your franchise? Or if they add more historical stats in the future, would it be able to go back and find some things that weren't in the game previously?

Haha that's because I must have clicked on the thread, something came up and I left my computer (or that tab), and when I went back to it I read it with no context whatsoever.
