I thought you could turn off replays in the broadcast presentation. You have to do it in game though. If you pause, select broadvast presentation and scroll down you should be able to edit what you get in broadcast presentation. Could be wrong though.

- I also think that maybe RTP got a lot of upgrades because we arent hearing anything about it. Even when I ask some of the guys at CD they arent saying anything. It makes me wonder what is to come of this. But again, I could be wrong!

Crap guys I think I might be confused between the broadcast and RTP. Which one is the default for last year? Like which one did you play the AI with on default. That's the one I was playing on 11.

Okay then I didn't check out the RTP but he didn't mention it either. Like I've stated before, there are plenty of things he didn't tell me about until I found them in the game or I asked him so maybe they did work on the RTP.

I'd find it very hard to believe that RTP was not touched at all this year. The Sony guys are so detail-oriented. Much like the lighting has evolved over the last few years, I'm sure they are going to nurture RTP over the years as well. I seriously doubt they'd lay the groundwork for such a potentially great feature and abandon it...

Wouldn't bother me much either way, and I'm not expecting a major overhaul. But I'd definitely expect to see it at least touched up...for example, I'm sure they added more animations to the HR trot so the guy isn't grabbing his helmet as he rounds each base.

We're not seeing everything...and yes...not a lot done to RTP...but the helmet touch was fixed to not be the "only" presentation. There are some more varied ones.
They will add to this I'm sure in the future.
They did add some stat overlays to RTP as well.
Like franchise mode not getting too much.....the reason being that the dev time was really focused on in game...gameplay items.

Are there any new items to franchise this year? Or any huge leaps in existing features?

Like I stated before, franchise does have some new features. Nothing really jumped out at me that I can remember but I remember some improvements. Can you be more specific? You get to your mail by pushing select now, not the triangle button. That's one thing off the top of my head.

folks know if the hot/cold color graph got brightened up back to normal this yr? in 2010 it was so dark. in 2009 it was normal, you could differentiate bet. the red and the blue really easily.

Since I don't use the hot or cold zones when I play, I did not check them out so I don't know.

As far existing features......more stats kept from year to year, teams played on....data base stuff. As well as player search tool.

New features....like ability to see previous season league leaders, award winners etc...

NTC or morale/player role system.

Great article. Do you know if they have updated rosters in the Franchise mode?

Freeze, does the select button to reach email work from any area of franchise?
Say I am in my lineup section, if i hit select it will transport me to the email section?

Is there an option to sim a pick (draft, rule 5) with 30 team control?

I did not see a player search tool and I was going in and out of the trade screen and roster management. I really think Russell would have told me about the search option and the data base stuff etc. I wouldn't get my hopes up for this year for Franchise. For 12 however, the Franchise is getting the same love RTTS did in 11.
