75 minutes beginning with March to October. Ramone and Nick Livingston are talking with some dudes on Game Informer.

Scanning thru this video, due to this line in the actual article:

"Game designers Nick Livingston and Ramone Russell stopped by the office to give us a personal tour of the modes, but also dish information on many other aspects of the game, including what’s up with Franchise mode this year, show off gameplay improvements in different areas, and more."

Livingston at 19:36: "We have real-life contract values."

Still watching, will mention anything else that's relevant to OS's interests.

Franchise Mode discussion:

Calling it a "Contract Year" due to focus on contract updates...contract extensions included (can be done around trade deadline and in offseason), real-life player contract values included.

They again reiterate that March to October was borne out of Franchise Mode...they wanted to push it to the limit with curation. Franchise Mode is more of a sandbox, not set up to be super curated to the user. They said they realized they were trying to do something different and new, so they decoupled it from Franchise Mode.

Franchise Mode talk starts at 18:40 mark.

Just a couple things to note:

March to October - it does seem that there is lineup/rotation management in the mode. You can also change difficulty (Ramone misspoke in the IGN video), but you can only lower it, not raise it.

Momentum gains/losses in MtO are based on the situation of the moments you get inserted into. If it's a high leverage situation, and you succeed, you get a bigger boost in positive momentum.

Also, some on here were in fact wondering...Heidi Watney's outfit does change. She does not wear that jacket all year long, every game. :-)

Just got to this part and it got me excited as well. Not much else that hasn't been mentioned somewhere else quite yet.
