The ability to edit ratings within franchise mode

Also, EA can't just pull days out of their coding schedule for free to add things in. I'm sure their time for managing a huge project such as NCAA is very tightly managed. Adding this is one day EA can't spend coding/debugging something else. All that said, I'd again like to see player ratings within dynasty opened up to the end users for editing.

I understand that, as I'm a web developer myself, but I was under the impression that this was from a blog from some guy in the madden development team that was just testing to see how it would work. While I'm sure he didn't copy/paste code he surely used the function that was created for editing outside of franchise mode, which would mean he didn't have to write very much code himself.

That, however, wasn't really my point. I meant to point out that if this guy had the basic functionality working in 10 minutes, I see no reason why something that can have this much impact for very little development time wouldn't be worth shuffling the schedule around just a little. Honestly this should have been done years ago anyway.

I can most certainly see a commissioner in one of my OD's subtly editing ratings of his team as the year goes on and not telling anybody.

A notification system, and a voting mechanism would go a long ways towards preventing abuses from happening.

Online Dynasty is a little trickier to figure out how to work this, but it should definitely be in for Offline Dynasty

Im not going to beat a dead horse, If some fool wants to make all their players 99 then so be it, I want to be able to reward and punish players on performace. Also height and weight should be open to edit like it used to be on the old gen. It also mattered as well.

Wasnt the rosters full editable in the old gen?

Hopefully can get the answer on this tomorrow
