Same here, along with having stupid names for scouts, they seem to think that there aren't many American scouts,lol. Nothin against foreign people, but most scouts are from the US.

I noticed during this stream that pitchers weren't wearing sleeves. Could it be they adjusted the temps and sleeve logic?

I'm disappointed you can still not renegotiate players contracts during the regular season. I'm very intrigued by the radio show,sounds great! I'm sure at some point becoming repetitive,no mention of being able to adjust ticket prices and merchandise etc etc. So I'm assuming that's not included in the franchise mode then. Other then that it does sound like it's gonna be a vast improvement.

If i remember correctly, they chose a July night game.

It's one of the good things about being able to choose the month and time of the game now. You can choose a hotter month like July and a night game and not have to see long sleeves on the pitchers.

I wish they had 8 o'clock start times as an option though.

You technically can. Just edit their contract. Its up to you to not screw the player over though. Im sure we can use the franchise update thread to ask if something is a realistic contact.

Why wouldn't Manage Only Mode be a feature used in online play? There are a lot of folks who would LOVE to be able to compete using the ratings and tendencies of the players. Why not make the game as realistic as possible? If SCEA is aiming for an arcade title what options are out there for the sim type players? Will this year's product even have a timed-hitting mode that doesn't require aiming the bat? What future plans are there for the DD mode beyond a few Legends here and there?

Is there any chance this applies to guys that were created in a roster file? Is the OSFM Gregory Polanco going to receive the legit facial scan based on his name? I know this is unlikely, just looking for clarification.
