Yes, presentation ties into the game as a whole, which is why I expect it to have its own blog. This blog was about franchise and how they are fixing/tuning it.
If they didn't mention these fixes of things that have plagued the series since its next gen leap, people would've been complaining about that. If they would've talked about presentation, as you were hoping, then we would have people saying.."ok, you added this, but what about the progression, FA logic, offseason logic, etc..? Are those things still broken? Why didn't they fix those?"
This was the first, of what seems to be, a few franchise blogs coming. Maybe we should see what is what, before we start jumping off the cliff.
