Franchise play

Yes there will be a ticker at the bottom of the screen called a score bug I think that has already been confirmed.

I agree that the other games should sim at the same time as yours in franchise so it feels like your not the only team in the league.

However, what if you have a franchise with multiple user controlled teams? How should that be handled?

I always thought the Score Bug just refered to the banner with the user's current game's score.

Oh well, I hope you are right in your thinking.

Yeah, I suppose it should be an option then, or... if you are the only user controlled team, it should play out with "simultaneous sim"

Since it only takes a moment for the cpu to sim results I don't think it would be too hard for them to sim the other games while it's loading mine, and then release that games info while mine is in play. some games could finish early, while others finish after mine.

I think the reason it's the way it is now is because of the "multiple player franchise."

The only problem with that is, I (and I'm sure the majority of us) am the only one involved in my franchise. I don't EVER want to play any games other than my teams.

Maybe make it an option when starting your franchise

One team control <> Multiple team control

and then based on your selection the other games sim in real time, or they don't. Seems simple to me, but I'm a simple guy, just like Simple Jack.

you will if you include this option
