"But it’s the gameplay that’s really changed. First, you’re asked to don a headset, almost as if you’re playing Modern Warfare 2 . It’s unsettling and weird, at first. But then you get it. You’re the quarterback and what’s coming through the headset is similar to what comes through the helmet of, say, Jets phenom Mark Sanchez. The offensive coordinator is suggesting a play given the situation on the field.
He’s not only suggesting a play; he’s briefly explaining why he’s calling the play. And that clarity is something that’s always been lacking in Madden. You’ll also see the same words pop up at the bottom of your TV screen with keywords highlighted in yellow. After you hear the play called, you might hear the play-by-play announcers offering up color commentary. The whole experience has moments that are so immersive and so different, it’s evocative of movies like Any Given Sunday. "
This could be REALLY cool and go a long way towards making Franchise Mode an immersive experience. I know it's unlikely for this year, but if they added comments from your OC and DC that were relevant to what was going on in real time....wow. For example, if your running game is just struggling hearing the OC say, "Let's air it out some more, we're not running well", or if your QB is just sucking it up or if you're up big hearing the OC say, "Let's pull this guy" would be awesome.
In off-season, getting suggestions from scouts a la Head Coach would be sweet as well.
