I really hope this is what it means.

Perhaps this will be the year where they do merge Offline/Online together like Madden was able to do. I don't like to compare other sports games with one another but I really love the fact that Madden was able to do it with their mode. In the end, their 'Connected Franchise' idea basically became a lot stronger and one of its better modes. It didn't hurt to see them link it with their companion app later on. Look, I know that the Online Franchise group received some backlash last year when we complained (call us whiners, if you want) but you cannot question our love for this game. We just want to feel the same type of love that the offline group receives. We do have friends to play Online Franchise with and there are people constantly making leagues with strangers that they invite from websites such as this one. By merging both modes, players that play with friends are happy and people who play franchise by themselves are too. This would make both franchise groups happy without feeling left out. Here's to hoping that Online Franchise receives major love this year.

I wonder... If Diamond Dynasty is getting a "seasons" mode, if maybe that and online franchise may become one in the same..?

Probably not, but heh, wishful thinking...

I know this is off subject and maybe late as hell.

SDS, can you please clean up your "suicide" "safety" squeeze commentary, there is a difference.

Just my pet peeve, it always irks me...LMAO.

Very interested in the Franchise Front Office (I feel like that is the beginning to an owner mode), and could actually bring back financial items like setting ticket prices, adding seats, and eventually the options to move into a new stadium and also move the team later on. I also wonder if the grass tech part will not only make it look better, but also allow wear and tear on the field that we can fix or even change grass patterns again. I'm also curious about player quirks and the new uniform sets. Hopefully my Mariners finally get their new cream jerseys this year.

I'm not particularly interesting in setting prices etc but create-a-team or relocate would be big.

So facial expressions, mouth and eye movements, smiles, shouts, etc. Could also (hopefully) deal with neck/head relationship, which has needed work in the Show. Here's a vid I found for anyone interested: http://www.cgmeetup.net/home/head-ri...roman-volodin/

Couldn't have said it better myself. Many glaring issues with the mode that's has gone untouched since MLB 14. I just wish they were able to confirm if it has at least been updated.

Hard getting amped for the game when the portion you play may be the exact same.

Not every new feature, improvement, or change is on the schedule. Be sure to watch the vlog's and streams for all the info.
