interesting how the game views prospects, Margot at #2 and Benintendi not in top10.

Dang. No mention if interleague schedule was fixed. Really wanted this in.

So no change to the mechanics of team building or how the AI makes decisions. Disappointing but I know I'll still have fun playing franchise since it's already pretty good. However the little things missing are annoying. Hopefully it's the focus of next year's cycle especially scouting of the draft and player development.

The top prospects list, quick manage, and quirks are good additions. Once the rosters drop, I be spending most over my time in franchise like usual.

So basically, they added 3 new ways to play the game faster, without actually playing the game, and left the rest of the mode essentially the same. Did they not realize all the actual FRONT OFFICE tasks that should be in franchise mode are not there?

Don't get me wrong they have worked their butts off this year. They have added new items and fixed a lot of the big legacy issues. I'm just disappointed that this is what they chose to put their time into for franchise mode.

I'll give you a like but also hate you at the same time. I've never missed a giveaway on any stream since they started doing them and have won zilch.

Not that I expect to win with as many viewers as there are in the stream, many who are there only for the giveaway, but there is always a tiny bit of hope that just maybe it could be my week.

Not much of a Deep Dive. Same stuff as the Franchise Mode Tour videos posted the past 2 days.

Quirks are cool, Top Prospects list is nice (wish it also showed season stats)

No mention of Inter-League Schedules Rotating.

No mention on how Critical Moments work in 30-team Franchise.

Weekly Cash Flow is nice but does it really change that much during a season? Unless you make trades/play well it will be the same each week.

No mention of Improved Free Agency/Scouting/Drafting/Progression, Editing Coaches.

As mentioned by a lot of us, they are really catering to Casual/New players which is understandable don't get me wrong. Just wish they also took some time and considered the experienced and die hard Franchise players.

I'd be very surprised if the mode doesn't get a lot of love next year.

Im hoping there were a lot of tweaks to the mode that was not mentioned.

Yeah I try every week, and was really surprised not only that I won, but that it was the grand prize. On topic, I'm pretty happy with the changes this year. Critical situations and quirks are nice additons
