Anyway, what's wrong with a up and coming guy generating buzz for the team?

You're missing my point. It's not the feature itself (although tying it to "clutch" moments rather than overall ability seems a stretch. Plus the fact that team budgets increasing isn't the same as increased revenue...but that's admittedly a nitpick) but the fact that it was talked about as though it is a big deal. Same as the whole supersim thing. I think it's a useful feature, but when I think of things I want to see improved in a franchise mode, skipping through games in more detail is not high on my list.



I think it's simply perspective. Clearly there are some who are optimistic about this game, so anything mentioned sounds like it could be a good addition. Then there are those of us who have danced this dance before and are a bit more skeptical. So you see a potentially useful feature, while I see potentially more evidence that they just don't get it. I'm not saying I'm down on the game, but it's hard to be high on it either, given the history and tangible info being virtually nil to this point.

I agree Nem, but you also have those people who don't go all out in Franchise Mode (Play 162 games, FA Signing & all those things Franchise Heads Love) that will use-it & are probably happy it's been added.

This is always tricky for devs because you have 2 segments of the gaming community. Hardcore Sim Heads & The Casual Gamer who both want to be catered to some how

I have no problem with the feature as it will be helpful for some. I just think if they have a beefy list of franchise improvements, I am not sure if that would be the one I would be focusing on. I think the majority of the franchise people enjoy spending the time with the feature.

Nothing at all. Some of us are just hoping that it's not the key feature as the developer suggested. Like you said, we'll find out more with the insight.

They did, although I believe it was just standard "sim to next game" stuff in 2K9. This is apparently more in-depth than previously though...more like sim with some MoM type functionality from the sounds of it.
