    Re: "Unlocked" Hall of Famers Appear in Xbox 360 Superstar/Franchise Modes - REPORT

    That's too bad ... I wonder how high up the priority list "Franchise Mode" was for the QA team? Assuming the QA team are all NFL fanatics (or at least knowledgable), you'd think that it might strike them as odd when they face Terry Bradshaw playing QB for the Browns in week 3 of a franchise.

    I still think the gameplay improvements and new features warrant the purchase, but there certainly needs to be a workaround made available or a patch via XBL immediately upon release.

      Wow, how doesn't this get caught very early in beta testing? I know this happened back in like Madden 2000 (maybe 2001) for the PS1, but I think you actually had to put them there.

        So, if I disable MGL this won't happen? Can you even disable MGL?

          Yup, you had to unlock thwm qith the Madden points or whatever it was called but you didn't have to put them on the Franchise FA list if you didn't want to. I remember them being rather expensive and not all that good for the most part.

            According to a "Making of..." special I watched last week, they have QA teams for individual areas (i.e. Franchise, Mini-Games, etc.). If that's the case, it almost seems like it has to be intentional.

              That's right, IIRC you could purchase packs of cards with these points for these players. I remember there being a big time glitch that made it beyond simple to unlock them all really fast.

                What if it IS intentional?? For the first time ever, I feel sorry for EA because a few guys are feeling they got burned by this "game killing" bug. It's the hardware which might allow more slip ups to occur. Ya'll do need to realize that they can probably fix it through a patch.

                  This is horrible news....

                  How can EA think of releasing a game where you can't play with realistic rosters?

                  Off the top of my head - is it possible to control all 32 teams in franchise mode? It would be a lot of work, but at least you wouldn't have Sammy Baugh playing for the Chargers (and Paul Warfield playing for the Steelers)

                    As Shawn has reported, you could skip MGL ... but that means you can't save any settings.

                    If you're willing to play default, and never save a profile/settings/etc. you could bypass the MGL.

                        Definitely!

                        Adding 10 or more 99+ rated QBs into the NFL? All those teams with a questionable running back now fielding the likes of Walter Payton?

                        Challenging, definitely ... not realistic in the least.

                          Mark,

                          This is where im confused. From my understanding, you get Madden Points during every game you play. Couldnt you make a profile, save your settings (sliders and difficulty level), and just never save your profile after a game? That way your Madden points are never saved.

                          Shawn, correct me if im wrong.

                            I'm also confused - nothing new about that. When I play a franchise, I always control all of the teams; that way no trades are made, free agents picked-up, etc. by the computer. If any of that stuff happens in the real NFL, I reflect them in my franchise.

                            Can you not do this? Why can't you control all 32 teams and that way, no computer generated anything happens???

                            What am I missing here? Won't this help those who don't want the HOF players automatically put on rosters?

                              You play the same way i do. This HOF issue will not be a problem for us. Most people dont play like us though. They choose one team and play multiple seasons with that team. Also in Superstar mode you can only control one team.

                                Man... this was the first time in years that I've gotten so amped for a Madden release. Hopefully, there is some sort of patch or something because, like bad_philanthropy, I'm a sim dynasty guy and this would kill it for me.
