A few things I noticed in the stream..
1. They've added more GM goals into franchise mode. Instead of just a 3-year and a 1-year goal, they have some in season things to accomplish like winning streaks, sweeping series etc...
2. Scouting, to my eye, looks very much the same. They have added the 20-80 system as well as spray charts, hot zones, and pitch repertoires (you can see these things before drafting which is nice for stocking a farm system with guys who throw sliders or curves etc..). I also noticed the velocity given as a range, so I'm not sure if min/max velocities are the new thing with pitch repertoires.
3. Among the morale system, there is a "region" attribute where some guys from certain countries will be more likely to sign if other players of that nationality are on the team. Interesting.
4. The WAR for Joe Mauer on his player card is a bit low compared to his FG WAR in real life. On the other hand, we saw that David Ortiz's in-game WAR was a bit high. From only these data points, it appears that The Show's WAR is weighting defense/position a bit less in their calculation.
5. On Mauer's player card, the only new stats appeared to be BB%, K%, and WAR. Some of the older stats may have been removed (HEQ-Q for example). Didn't see wOBA, wRC+, etc.

There is no clearly established formula for calculating WAR.
I disagree with your impression of scouting. Previously "makeup" was a category for pitching. They now have it broken down to bb/9, h/9 etc. That is a major improvement and provides crucial information especially for a guy like me who uses manage mode.
