Franchise
NEW – Revamped Front Office Experience
Play the nail-biting key matches and moments of your Franchise GM career with streamlined seasons and Custom Game Entry. Track rumors and strike big deals in the ultimate all-in-one Trade HUB, where a new Trade Logic System delivers real depth, immersion, and high-stakes decision-making. Smarter lineups and improved player regression now mirror the real decisions and realities that shape your organization’s future.I wonder if they are going in the direction they went with free agency and signing draft picks.
"smarter lineups" - at one time there was a morale system and players would be unhappy if the weren't batting in the top of the lineup and attributes would be impacted. Let's hope this isn't a return to that.
"improved player regress now mirror the real decisions" - What is that? Great improvement if I rush a player to the majors and stunt his development which happens IRL. Not so great if he regresses because he isn't batting in a certain spot in the lineup.
I hope they have thought this through more than some of the other things they have added.

@sullivanspring_MLBTS said in Watching the gameplay trailer it appears the new franchise feature is a new trade hub.:
Of all the things they could have spent developer time we get a trade hub?
It's difficult to code when they probably spent six months doing nothing besides surfing and had to piece together uniforms and a stadium copied directly from the Metrodome and tweaked slightly to look like a bad clone of the Tokyo Dome in two months. How much harder are they supposed to work? Don't be ungrateful for an $80 DLC.
