ummm.. no .. improvements will be minimal.. enjoy the new depth chart screen and thats about it. MTO will get majority of the updates. If they REALLY invested in Franchise it would have been already shared. Yes the stream is tomorrow, but they will only spend a few min on franchise. U are in for a let down.

And to play devils advocate its not business suicide to leave franchise as is, the majority of the money they make is from DD, plain and simple. We on OS are dying breed I'm afraid

I’ll keep saying this so long as it’s necessary to do so. Developers want you to think franchise players are a dying breed. The truth is that their social media interaction for franchise posts is as active as their posts about other modes.

Sorry if it's been addressed but I don't check the forums very often but can anyone verify if there are rotating interleague schedules in this year's version?

Thanks in advance.

I got the S a few months ago and I love it! It fits perfectly under my 1440 gaming monitor.

I just got my PS5 on Sunday and I also love it too. Can’t wait until Asus’ new 32” 4K 144hz hdmi 2.1 monitor comes out. PS5 will look so amazing on that!

Nice!....I can't seem to find a PS5 or XBOX-X anywhere. Enjoy it and have fun!!

I've watched the video a few times and something I thought was interesting was when Ramone answered the question regarding the MtO depth chart being in Franchise and he said YES, and that it actually started in franchise and they liked it so much they moved it to MtO. That got me to thinking. What if the devs view MtO and Franchise as interchangeable in regards to logic and when they are answering broad questions it applies to both modes?

So when Ramone answers questions regarding changes/upgrades to line-ups/rotations; trade logic being tuned/reworked; budget logic being improved; improvements to contract logic; and call-ups/send downs, what's the chances that it's all the same in their minds and applies to BOTH MtO and Franchise, even if only one or the other was mentioned? I'm probably completely wrong and reading too much into it, but my thinking is that anything tweaked in one would have to apply to the other due to being able to carry your MtO into Franchise mode.

And yes, there are features I'd like to see added or expanded upon. But it wasn't too long ago they removed the word "revamped" from franchise mode, so I'll gladly take quality of life upgrades and [hopefully] vastly improved AI in all aspects of the game.

If MTO and Franchise aren’t built on the same logic (either MTO built using the old Franchise logic or a new Franchise built using the new MTO logic) then they are seriously doing it wrong.

Today’s the day gents. We all hold our breath for every sports game until franchise mode news is released. Cross those fingers and pour one out for Jobu.

I dunno, there can be enough subtle differences to make for needing multiple logic
look at quick counts for example. you can't turn QC on and off mid-game because the two logics don't mesh right

There's a reason they chose "4/01/2021" for this particular stream.

My guess is by tomorrow evening I'm gonna be seeing a lot of "IM SOLD" or glad I pre-ordered.

So what happens tonight when we get nothing besides logic updates???

Again......going into this with zero expectations.

Hoping for the best.

Considering when the initial marketing material was released earlier this year, it was mentioned that Franchise was "revamped" only to have it changed to "updated"...that should alone have people temper their expectations. I would expect some small changes but nothing on the scale of a complete revamp.

Yeah revamped was a very loaded word that could mean so much. I think they back peddled once they saw what it did.
