What new Franchise Feature are you still holding out hope for ahead of the stream?

2 hours away from the stream......still excitement in the air for me. I have a feeling we have not seen everything just yet nor know the under the hood improvements which are important.

Keep an eye out for the red flashing lights which have come out in every deep dive so far when a new feature was revealed.

The ability to import players into an active franchise. So I can replace some of the annoying fictional draft picks with actual draft picks, international free agents or a player that retired in the offseason that maybe shouldn't have. I usually won't start my franchise until after the draft so I can add the players from the vault and don't waste a ton of time making crappy CAPs myself. I don't understand, the feature is already in the game, they just need to allow it in franchise. Looks like it will never happen.

Anything said about scouting yet?

How about still being able to edit players in franchise mode? Is that still in the game? I couldn't tell by watching last night.

Nothing has fundamentally changed for scouting.

Re: What new Franchise Feature are you still holding out hope for ahead of the stream

Mine in order of importance to me:

1. New progression/regression with editable curves.
2. Better CPU bullpen AI.
3. Game mechanic for adding or changing player position.
4. Game mechanic for adding or changing pitches.
5. Game mechanic for swapping or convincing a player to change morale priorities.
6. 6 pitcher rotation with in game mechanics for delaying scheduled starts without fudging my rotation/morale (just because I delayed my ace's start for a day doesn't suddenly make him not the ace).
7. multi team trades and more trade options.
8. ability to press triangle and see a players full player card from the lineup screen.

The rest of my concerns have either been confirmed in or out, so that's my list.

Number 8, yes and yes please.

I also want to see online franchise match offline. I have stayed away from starting one because of all the negatives i here about online franchise.

I'd be stunned if that changed. Stunned AND miffed.

Here's a small simple one.
Be able to turn Quick Counts On in the settings so I don't have to before every game.
It would just be one less thing I'd have to do as I always use QC to save time.

They've addressed that one before, it really screws up pitch counts and pitching change logic if you would be allowed to turn on/off quick counts in-game. Good idea, but they apparently had tested this before and it didn't work well.


As far as what I'm hoping for - I think there is more to the Budgets screens than they were showing in the deep dive last week. it appeared so, anyway. Maybe just more screens showing budget detail or budget broken down weekly or something. Maybe more to it though?

Another I'm hoping for is, to see transactions (especially pending) in a more central area.
I often forget about that stuff when I'm playing and miss out on claiming players, league transactions, etc.

Maybe in the future we could be able to do transactions, etc mid-game...?

He means have QC enabled by default, its always off to begin with. Unlike Presentation which has last selection before each game.
