    I read the comments before watching the stream and was feeling disappointed. Then I watched the stream, franchise has been improved a good amount. Lots of things to be excited about. No worries here, everything looks great

      Confused because at 1:25:53 mark Ramone said the MadBum haircut happened too late in dev cycle?

        One thing curious if it is in or not this year as have not seen anything about it, is setting line ups. In MVP or 2K, can't remember which you could pick your starters for each position, and then the game would set the best roster based on your picks. Anyone see anything like that?

          If I can offer an opinion on the GM goals...

          Sweep division series?
          Sweep LCS?

          I feel like all of this is an afterthought. What kind of a goal is that? What difference does it make if you sweep the division series vs. win it in 5 games? What owner would set such a random and meaningless milestone?

          The O's swept the DS in 2014. Then got swept in the LCS. You think the owner felt good about that?

          The only thing that comes to mind to describe what I saw is "afterthought".

            I think he meant shave. MadBum had short hair, but still had his beard last week in real life.

              ya, MadBum literally just cut it all off like 2 days ago.

                I think Ramone talked about this in the stream but I could be completely wrong. You could complete all your GM goals and have a good GM rating but if you don't accomplish the Owners goal you could be fired.

                  It's not spot on at all.

                  They are still missing all the year flags in left center field. The 2 LED stat boards on the right field wall is wrong. Also the LED stat board in the right field upper deck is wrong. Team logos instead of team names on the Jumbo tron. Also not confirmed yet but I bet the Liberty Bell animations also is still wrong. Plus still no real life stat LED ribbon boards that go around the stadium.

                    While I selfishly wish Franchise would be loaded with improvements each year and DD and that all these side modes would die a quick and dramatic death ( ), I am happy with the way franchise is moving forward.

                    Seriously, the improved stat tracking was always going to be the "big ticket" upgrade, so add in the fact that they have added what seems to be a well thought-out morale system along with the various tweaks and improvements to multiple aspects of the logic, management, commentary, and UI and I have no complaints.

                    Don't get me wrong, I have a laundry list of things I still want (seriously...I don't think it's realistically possible to satisfy my wishlist completely), but I am happy with how 16's franchise is shaping up.

                      Another year of incremental change. Still the same stale franchise experience. Passing on the game this year. I'll just play last year's game when I get the baseball itch.

                        None of the stadiums have stats on the LED ribbons in the game. They aren't going to make an exception for CBP.

                        I am sure there is a reason they couldn't put years on the flags in center field.

                        Just me but I am concentrating more on trying to win a baseball game than whether the flags in center field have numbers on them or not.

                          lol, what the heck was going on with Posey's wrist at the 1;59;45 mark? Taped wrists for base running and then gone the next batter?

                            For some reason, Busch Stadium has had them since MLB 10.

                            It's strange, because Busch has all three versions of ribbons in The Show. LED stat ribbons, LED scrolling nickname ribbons, and stat CRT (correct name?) ribbons. It's one of the few things I've never had to worry about in my writeups.

                              That's why I play with them off.

                              I also noticed during the stream that a 22 year old prospects' ETA was 2020+ so he will be getting to the majors at age 27 or older. I really wish this was changed to be more realistic.
