I gotcha. I doubt you'll be able to "turn it on". It's something you set up at the beginning of the franchise, instead of a toggle.

In your next franchise, if you set up originally for 30 team control and set everything on your cpu profile to auto, you'll get the option that you want without any of the hassle of controlling the other teams.

If so then is is possible they are using trophies to calculate how many people play each mode? If so then... Franchise 3 trophies Play now 10 trophies RTTS 7 trophies DD 9 trophies ...would explain why franchise gets so little attention relative to other modes.

It's not just the amount of trophies for each mode it's the time it takes to achieve the trophies. I spent many many hours in dd getting the trophie for conquest that i would not have otherwise wasted in the mode if not for trophies. I also think i spent time in dd because i wanted to unlock the rangers nameplate ect. I also played that awful retro mode a few weeks ago to get those trophies.

The trophies in franchise mode can be gotten in only a few minutes.

I get people won't be happy about the inclusion of things like stadiums, but this will maybe keep people like me that struggled to stay invested in Franchise to stick around.

I can see how this would be very helpful for people newer to the franchise, but for many of us who have been playing it for years and already know all the ins and outs it's completely useless, I would say however it does have a nice look to it

I personally don't find the inside "a mess" but it's just a really really old inside, like we're taking 100 year old interior that all needs replaced, it still works, there are just a lot of newer stuff that would work a lot better

I was surprised when the guys in the stream said that "this is what we chose" to work on. Not surprised because they chose to work on UI (although that wouldn't have been what I would choose), but because it made it sound as if there isn't someone in control of where Franchise mode is going five years, three years, or even one year from now.

Thinking about it a little more, it kind of makes sense. It hasn't felt like there has been a solid direction to Franchise Mode. Every year, we get a few bullet-point features, and the vague promise of more to come next year. I wonder if Franchise mode is missing a lead producer or something who can chart out the long-term plan for the Franchise.

Because if the "Phases" is the bedrock for more to come next year, I'm all for it. What I worry about, though, is that the people left on the Franchise team are struggling to keep up with fixing legacy issues, adding one or two bullet-point features, and squashing bugs.

I absolutely understand the limited resources for this mode. But what I don't understand is why they don't support a huge feature that are already in the game, like morale. Why add it only to let it sit and not really work the way it should?

Really, though, I'm probably reading way more into everything than what's there. I'm underwhelmed by the additions, but I'll probably break down and buy it because it's the best and only simulation-style gameplay-based baseball game around.
