If anything, they'll strip a couple features from Franchise like they did some fan favorite modes last year.

And they have corrected bunting for this year.

And I didn't realize that realistic ball physics, playing balls of the wall, tuning balls bouncing over wall for ground rule doubles, better defensive play/animations, and such were all geared towards the h2h and DD crowd.

Remember...any exploit that you can find in a h2h game, most likely can be used to exploit the CPU as well.

So yeah..maybe they are finding these things by watching h2h streams or feedback from h2h, but the fixing of these exploits are good for the offline single player experience as well.

the twitch chat on Thursday is gonna be saltier than the dead sea oh buddy

that being said, if I do end up getting the game, I'll try it just to see what's up, it really does depend on what they say on stream this week

Actually, alot of that is geared towards DD as well. They have been trying to master the "playing out of position" penalty for years. Having fielders be worse in secondary positions and being able to see that on a lineup card for DD. People have been exploiting that and finding ways in DD for awhile.

As the previous guy said they ruined bunting for the franchise player. That was done for the DD/H2H crowd. I am not saying all gameplay related issues are JUST for that. But its becoming time that people need to start realzing that the gameplay is shifting towards DD/H2H because thats what makes a ton of money. It is sad.

I'm not legitimately shocked in life now, but this legitimately shocked me. Sorry for all the guys who loved season mode and this is what you get. I don't even know what else to say. A lot of people were hyped for this mode, but usually when you hype something up, it's usually ends up a disappointment. I couldn't watch more than 10 seconds of this video without clicking X. Incredible.

Isn't it always salty? Seems like it has been that way for years. This year I have been watching the streams on my PS4 with chat hidden. I only open it up long enough to enter that weeks keyword.

But the point remains that even if those improvements/fixes are geared towards the DD/h2h crowd, they benefit the single player experience as well.

Bunting was too easy in '16 as everyone was able to bunt without penalty, in '17 they made the change and went too far the other way. Stayed that way for '18, but for '19 they have worked to find a middle ground.

I understand the concern among you hardcore franchise guys, but for a guy like me who just doesn't have the time to commit to a full in depth franchise simulation, this looks great. It's basically what I would do when I would play season mode a few years back, play only 1 out of every 5 or so games and only do minor GM stuff like some trades and call ups. I never got too into the micromanaging and scouting and financial stuff, so it really feels like this is a mode made for me. I just really hope it goes for multiple seasons and its not just a single season.

I do really feel for you Franchise guys though. Seems like they just have no interest in improving it.
