Where's the Franchise Q&A?

Re: Where\'s the Franchise Q&A?

He didn't really get into specifics on improvements in the franchise mode and a couple of times said "I hope so". I don't know what that means. Doubtful any changes now can be put in as we are weeks from going gold.

Personally, I think the improved depth charts and contract formats are a welcome change and going to be the only major improvements but a big one at that. Progression sounds better too but I expect more of the same from the franchise mode and that will upset some people. The control over the format of the contracts will be a huge improvement for me though.

"Q: The CPU stats and hence progression was a little off in 2K4. For example, CB's would have less tackles than games, WR's were lucky to get 1000 yards, QB's over 85 threw for 4000 easy and OLB's seemed to get 90% of team tackles. Has this been fixed? For the OLB, a suggestion is to include total tackles as the main stat for LB's as human players could get a lot of assisted tackles, is this included?

A: We spent a lot of time this year trying to find how where the problems in our stats system were. When we found cases we didn’t like we fixed them. We feel we’ve made great advances with the stat accuracy this year. Your example case is history. "

I'm still disapointed about not being able to change teams as a coach. I've wanted this for 3 years now.

damn.

Yeah that kinda killed the buzz for me to. I was hopin to be able to go to other teams and try my philosophy via weekly prep and see if it could be successful but that won't be the case this yr. Thats a serious...serious disappoinment on the Franchise Front. Makes ya wonder ..If we're not able to go to other teams...will CPU coaches get fired???? because last yr they didn't.

Spurrier was still the HC of the skins in 06 after 3 straight sub .500 seasons in my Chises. Thats bullsh*T. We all know snyder..Gibbs won't even be there in 06! lol!

C'mon VC!! Don't f*kk this up again. If theres no Coach movement amongst CPU teams...thats a HUGE negative. Thats Franchise Mode 101..Coaches get fired and hired elsewhere. I can't see how VC can't have this in there this yr. I that it is.

I don't like how they avoid straight answers by saying "We've worked really hard on &lt;insert feature&gt; and we think you'll like it"
