Too many little bugs in RTTS (my favorite mode) prevent me from scoring this higher right now. One patch and it could jump a full point.

The running system in RTTS is taking a bit to get used to. It really improved the runner/pitcher pickoff battle, but once the ball is in play i find it frustrating at best.

Stats don't seem to track to actual in-game events which is a step down from last year where I never noticed a problem. Little glitches in fielding (like having the double play feed from 1st to your SS in a 3-6-1 double play cause your SS to stop short of the bag and not be able to get the out) add to the frustration level.

I understand the OPs view on franchise being a little difficult to navigate. It is workable though so as long as you're not in a hurry you can get to most of the information you need to make the decisions you have to make.
