It's just marketing...doesn't really mean anything to me. 3 inning games are nothing new to anyone who's played DD, it's not like this took any of the precious development time that everyone seems to fret over if they extended it to an option in the whole game (that's not necessarily what they did, of course).

Wasn't that the Franchise header " more Baseball, Less time? " or something along those lines.

I'm really hoping that they did more work on franchise mode this year other than just finding more and more ways to shorten games

Haven't we always been able to select a different number of innings for exhibition games?

At least for quite a while, yes. Which means they're either marketing an existing lesser-known feature, or they extended the option to franchise mode.

And either way, since the logic for how the CPU deals with 3-inning games was already in the game, it wouldn't have taken much time to add that functionality to franchise. I could see some major stat discrepancies between played and sim games cropping up in a situation like that, but I'm guessing the people who want 3 inning games aren't going to be ones worried about accurate stats.

Like I said before, this isn't even a thing to me and I don't know why people would worry about it taking away from other developments.
