Also don't know nearly as much NFL players than I do MLB players. MLB Battle Royale is looking like it will be tons of fun. The idea of drafting a new team every time is exciting where I don't have to collect the cards to play with a certain player/legend/flashback which is a appealing. Also the head to head component is cool because a stacked team playing against a CPU MLB team is like an All Star team playing the Tampa Bay Rays. I like how it is 3 innings to make it go quick and play more games with more drafts and not be so time consuming.

I agree. I'm not sure if people understand the potential for Battle Royale. Draft Champions is my favorite way of playing head-to-head games online in Madden currently. The teams are pretty balanced, so how successful you are in the mode depends on how well you draft and your skill in the game. There won't be overpowered lineups if it's anything like Draft Champions, which is really nice. The only questionable thing to me at the moment is only playing 3-inning games. I understand they want to keep the games short so that you can keep things moving, but "fast" isn't supposed to be the pace of baseball. I think just having quick counts turned on for a 9-inning game would be quick enough for me. I guess I just have to try out what 3-innings is like.

I would have preferred 5 innings myself

But the issue is people like me hate quick counts. It's not fair to put me in a 1-2 count when I likely wouldn't end up there playing the at bat my way

As I mentioned above. In the setup screen for the mode both Quick Counts and Guess Pitch were turned off.

Ya I know I was just saying why alot of people and the development are against quick counts in DD and other online modes.

After watching the video these modes don't seem to be for me but am happy for those who like it.

If it were up to me, I would just have 9 inning games with no quick counts. I just mentioned quick counts because they emphasized that they wanted these games to be quick. Personally, I'd rather play a full 9 inning game with quick counts than a 3 inning game.

knowing that theyre 3 innings it would be nice if there was hybrid presentation to make the head to head atmosphere more intense in BR. Conquest should be optional at least for presentation
