Madden NFL 12 Reviewer Impressions: Franchise Mode

[MMan]

no mention of trading with the CPU? I just posted a thread where I offered Adrian Peterson, 1st & 2nd round pick for Ray Lewis and it was declined.

Odd, but did the Ravens actually have the cap room to take Peterson?

After reading the gameplay & franchise impressions, I'm still on the fence. Some of the things sound annoying, but not really any more so than any other Madden. I don't like the fact he's fairly disappointed in the menu interface. Having to go to several different screens just to get some simple (& apparently basic) information is always frustrating regardless of the game (looking at you MLB 11).

I highly recommend it. It's right under MLB11 the show in my book.

Make that 24 and olders.

The game is great!!! But not being able to upload my draft class from NCAA kills it for me...makes not wanna play the game!!! If anyone has figured out how to get your classes on franchise mode please hit me up!!!

Is it true guys like Brady and Manning remain a high 90s overall player despite being 38 years old?

Plus, will high 70s-low 80s veterans be stuck in free agency as the CPU teams replace them with undrafted rookies despite being able to afford them?

If so, the mode will be a bummer when you get into a few years.

Come on now. How could you possibly expect them to turn around a new CBA that fast?

Spot on about franchise mode, these were my thoughts as well.

I tried to trade Antonio Gates and two 1st rounds picks for Calvin Johnson, and the computer said "no thanks".
