Madden 10 Franchise Mode Improvements

1st errrrrrr ya baby 1st 1st 1st

I'll believe when I see it, while I am meticulously recreating the first season running a 32 team franchise and waiting for the draft after changing the ratings in NCAA, fine tuning the rosters in order to get accurate draft classes, wasting countless hours of my life, and then finding every single Free Agent signing and putting them on their respective teams to be able to play a Quasi-Madden 10.

It could be a lot more fun, most notably the retarded ass drafting of 3 QB's in the first 3 rounds even though peyton manning is on the team, and the complete lack of simulation for OLB's getting sacks in a 3-4. If those 2 are fixed I will be fine, I would rather have that than any visual displays.

I still wish it was done a lot better.

I read the article, and it said that NCAA Football 10 was not going to have the new Passer Ratings. I guess that when people said NCAA was just Madden 9.5, they were right. :@

its not my fault the cowboys sucks ty!

Oh, and Pasta….. YOu were dead on with the Franchise Mode update prediction.

What did I even say? wait… dont tell me……The "Star" just scares you. haha

It scares all haters away…GO BOYS!

they need to fix the simulation mode.. for example all of the quarterbacks were completeing over sixty percent of thier passes. in reality this is not true

Do away with FM. Focus on the online please.

looks like some solid improvements
I love how how scouting now has greater importance to drafting a player

Two suggestions:
-How come a 3-4 DE has the same rating than a 4-3 DE in the game? Same with LBs and DTs, ratings should vary depending on each team's scheme. Also, scheme's should be easier to change. Those are the things head coaches do when they are hired!
-A player's improvement should not only be based on his age but also in his experience in the league; not only his years playing but also how much has he played. Miami's John Beck is almost 30 and he's been in the league for a couple of years! And a 30 year old running back should not have his ratings decreased if he hasn't had more than 10 carries a year, or am I wrong?

Do away with the online and keep goinn with offline franchise… then take the offline franchise and put it online (even though I could care less)

A nice blog but nothing to get me excited… I'm more like "it's about time", crossing my fingers that this game will make me go out and but it this year

i think you ment 100 carrries lol
but i agree with you 100%

from the sounds of that blog its gonna be very similiar to head coach. THANK GOD!!!! i actually liked how head coach worked as a matter of fact i played head coach more than madden and still am. the player progression and digression from that game was great! when u cat players in head coach it actually makes sense….they r getting paid more than how theyre performing. but in madden a 36 year demarcus ware performs the same as a 24 year old demarcus ware. so teams would like stay the same over like ten years therfore it became boring real quick. keep it commin EA this has to be a completely different madden team cuz these guys actuallt CARE!

It's all good, but I still want to see an update on an online dynasty or franchise. I guess that might be another subject though.

ALSOOO! have you seen the rookie salaries? A 1st rounder wins like 7 million dollars his first year, you are basically forced to sign him for 7 years (the 7th year he wins like 21 millions), a 2nd rounder like 5 million dollars a year! And so on…(it happens with NCAA imported draft classes)

More Fluff to distract us from the reality that this is going to be another bad game this year!! LOL think about it they are talking about player signings,when you can just take control of all the teams and do everything yourself!! wow,are we supposed to be idiots?? or how about like i do turn off the salary cap humm,problem solved!!

like i said,more distractions from the real deal!! what about a pregame,haltime & postgame show?? by happenstance was done 5 or 6 games ago on xbox & ps2 by 2K SPORTS!! EA has still said nothing about subsitution packages. i guess that's not apart of football in EA's world

WOW, how about making players their correct size. Look at Haloti Ngata on the game and then in real life. He looks like a LB in the game, but he's huge in reality.

Glad to see that they are taking a lot of what we post online serious. I hope they address the stiff arm issue where he doesn't change hands with the ball and his arm hangs like it's broken @ the point of contact with the defensive player. I also want to know about the presentation when you win something significant. I want my Super Bowl win to mean something when I win it among other big games. If some people don't want to see the pre-game and things like that it should be a option to turn it off in the option menu. Not everybody jas internet or likes playing people online so we should @ least have that option for us or whoever wants it.

If there are no chain gangs, refs or players on the sideline with durags, this game will be garbage ::rolls eyes::

Hmm, the thing about Running Backs going downhill as soon as they hit age 30 scares me. This to me sounds too drastic. Brian Westbrook turns 30 this season. Does that mean they are going to turn him into a bum?

I hope they go into a bit more detail on re-signing players. There is NO REASON to franchise tag a player in Madden for the past 3 years. It is useless in the game. During this period you also have no ability to just flat out RELEASE a player. You can resign all the players you want, then have to sim through and hope they cut the players you didn't resign.

There needs to be situations where players say they simply don't want to resign and test the FA market. Such as Albert Haynesworth did. This gives purpose to the franchise tag. However, in the game, the Titans could resign Haynesworth right away and he would never see the FA market. Point being, a lot of high profile players never get to see the FA market in Madden due to lack of REALITY.

If a player gets franchised, other teams should still be able to grab that player if they are willing to give up the required draft picks. You should be able to at least use draft picks from the upcoming season to negotiate deals.

Look at the Jay Cutler trade. There is no way to make that trade in the game. You aren't aloud to see your drafts picks for the following year until the off season is over with. We should be able to make trades like this.

On the other side of things, CPU teams should make intelligent trades amongst themselves. There needs to be a feeling of REALITY in the franchise modes. It truly feels like you are the only real team doing anything or making big deals.

hs a corner in madden ever got an int but his armwent all the way backwards and he still caught it with both hands

please do not read this send this to 3 friends or tickle me elmo will make you a potato sandwich and then grap a piano and put a lemon on it

Free Agency needs to be fixed for sure, I've also found that other teams don't go after FA's until I try to sign them. I have to try to sign every FA to have an active one.
