    I really hope so man, only thing is they would've probably given a hint to it in the trailer but they didnt. I at least want the level of uniform design diamond dynasty has in franchise mode.

        I have more hope for franchise mode after seeing the few things listed on the schedule, but the conspiracy theorist in me is still worried. Franchise Mode is the last of the modes in the list of things to discuss, basically like 1-2 weeks before release. It was the same last year. I worry they aren't discussing it, because they want to hype the game up and get people to preorder based on hope that franchise will have a big overhaul, knowing they are just going to disappoint on that end, so they are going to try and save the dissapointment as to not effect pre-sales.

          I'm probably siding with your pessimistic side tbh, the fact that they haven't even bothered mentioning franchise mode in the bullet points of changes in the official blog doesn't convince me they think they've done anything that they think will shift copies. (same as you say, for it being last)

            me too but as long as it is optional (like quick counts) then I don't care.

              If I'm not mistaken the stream schedule is in a specific order based on popularity of the mode.

                Damn, I didnt know that.

                Franchise is really the least popular? That sucks, if true.

                  DD and RTTS are the most played modes in the Show. Been that way for a few years.

                  Also I think they add things later in the cycle and that is why franchise mode is late, but it is also not as popular of a mode as some think. Their core gamers are DD and RTTS types I believe.

                    If they actually improved on the mode it would be more popular. I guess I'm one of the few that could care less about DD.

                        Agreed!

                        I never play anything other than Franchise and Play Now.

                          Franchise is not popular due to the complexity of it. People don't care to spend time with budgets, drafts, contracts, etc. Personally, i never do franchise either but only because i know the game will get boring due to stale gameplay and commentary. I also never play RTTS because i prefer playing with real players. As for DD, i will never support a mode based on micro transactions.

                          I give the game a chance every year and then end up selling it months later. Oh well. I like baseball too much i guess. I'm still hoping for EA to make baseball games again.

                            Same here. Sometimes I'll play RTTS. Being a Braves fan, these past few years Franchise has been quite disappointing. Considering the youth coming up and rebuilding being done.

                              I often wonder how they gauge the popularity of the modes. If it's by number of games played instead of actual time spent then that's not really fair to franchise since you can bang out several RTTS or 3 inning DD games in the amount of time it takes to play a full 9 inning franchise game. Plus there's a lot more to do in Franchise between games compared to other modes, so do they even have a way to track that time spent?

                                I believe when your system is plugged into the internet they get that info based on how many gamers are in specific modes.
