I know we can control all teams, and do our own moves, which I am thankful for (considering some sports games take that control way). That being said, it does take alot of work to do this, and there is limited time to even play the game. Like others have said before me, I want to get immersed into my franchise, and this generation of sports games has not done it for me. It's an area that has been ignored, compared to the older generation games. It looks like there have been some nice features added to the franchise mode of the game, but no player movement due to performance is a major over site. Hopefully this gets addressed next year. Thanks for taking the time to talk to us and answer some questions.

Ignored isn't the proper word to use here. It's priorities we have finite time and finite resources. The plan for franchise mode was to completely scrap the logic and code for team budgets, team evaluations, scouting, drafting, and player progression, player generation logic and start over.

This was a massive undertaking and it's where we knew the time and resources were best spent.

The word oversight means unintentional failure to notice or do something. There is no oversight here having players be called up based on performance was never in the design plans this year so it's not a major oversight, its not an oversight at all.

Probably to make room for Playoff Mode.

a poor man's playoff mode where it would tally all time series vs an opponent and would only track two teams vs each other

And wasnt it like you could play your rival in a 3 game set or something like that?

I won't use either one... I prefer to leave the postseason as a reward exclusive to me completing a season of franchise mode. That way I have something big to look forward to. I agree though, Playoff Mode was absolutely the right choice.
