Excellent news...and I can't wait to read the future franchise blogs.

I'm definitely excited for the game now...really seems like they're going a long way to improve franchise mode.

Good news. I'm looking forward to play Franchise mode this year. Haven't touched it since Madden 06 I believe.

Franchise mode is the most important thing for me. I havent enjoyed a franchise on next gen, hopefully that shit will change.

Did you play/like Head Coach? All of the HC guys are now working on the franchise mode in Madden so I'd expect franchise mode to have large influence from that game.

Head coach was way too boring and tedious for me. And I like to actually PLAY my games and not watch, the AI in head coach sucked.

Very nice to see! I'm getting more and more pumped for Madden this year. I had a feeling this would be the year that Franchise Mode returned to it's glory years (lets hope so) since I heard bout the Head Coach team working on Madden this year. Very glad to see that.

They should make scouting like nba 2k series. So that whole article said it was going to be exactly like 09, but fixed yeah..

The only franchise thing i am looking forward to and the only way this game will be a must is online franchise.

Meh, there's some things I like but I was hoping for more.

Nothing about restricted free agency.

Mum on whether draft position directly reflects a player's speed like it has for the last year years.

Hopefully there's more info hiding.

I've never been a Franchise guy...

used to kind of play around with it back when I was a kid and it was Madden 04... I never end up finishing a season however.

maybe I'll give it a shot this year, its just the fact that playing the computer isn't fun to me.

One thing I read I didn't like was they will show you the player's "Max Potential", I don't want to know I want to havea 25yr old HB that I think is worth 60mil and he has already peaked, like in real life.

[ThunderHorse]

Well, I'll wait until they have online Franchise...

once that happens, it'll have me hooked, especially considering the only thing you have to worry about is the draft...

thing about NCAA is, if you aren't good at recruiting, your fucked after a couple of years, in Madden everyone is always on an equal playing field. which is something I think would be perfect.

put Franchise online for madden, and I swear to god, I'd probably never play another game again in my life.

What AI? Meaning, what aspect of AI are you talking about? I'm assuming the player on-field AI, because yes, it did, or maybe the playcalling AI, which had it's issues but was far better than anything Madden ever did... I'm just hoping you're not talking about the CPU Team Management AI, which is the best I've ever seen in a sports game.

IMO we won't see online franchise yet. The OD mode is killer on NCAA and if we had the option on Madden I think it would take away from NCAA Sales. Those OD's take up a lot of time and you'd have to have quite the amount of free time to stay on top of both. Besides, they can do more with the mode if they keep it offline and the majority of the Madden player base are dickholes inbred mother fuckers who you see on TV.


As well, in my experience I found it's not about being good at recruiting, it's about not getting caught cheating at recruiting. Between re-doing a player call to simming a whole year to get all the player overalls.....it was too easy for people to cheat. Then the whole disconnect bullshit....
