• Unfortunately, you can’t play multiple seasons in March to October this year
• Updated commentary has been implemented in special episodes of March to October (ex. Opening Day, Postseason and World Series)
• There have been changes and upgrades to lineup and rotation logic, as it stays more true to the user settings this year
• Trade logic has been tuned and reworked, more information on that soon
• You can use Stadium Creator in Franchise Mode (Next-Gen Exclusive Feature)
• Budget systems have been changed from a weekly to yearly system in Franchise Mode, logic has been improved
