I found this. You can take it for what it is worth...

Said this in another wish list thread but here are my 2 things again.

1) Edit everything: I understand that this can be a issue for the online guys, but why do us offline guys have to suffer. I want full control over my franchise not have to play how EA wants me to. I would love to see the custom draft classes added to this. Just allow me to edit the players at the start so I can fix all the issues I see.

2) Expansion Teams: I would love the option to have the ability to add expansion teams over the course of a franchise. You can even allow settings like we have for relocation. We could also have a setting for a draft like we saw with the Texans or no draft so you just have to sign FA's and draft.

I know people hate the comparison between two different sports games, however there are a lot of good ideas that Madden could take from MLB the Shows Franchise mode.

The contract signing/ player morale is revolutionary, and I think it would add somewhat of a personality to players in CFM. Have more than just money matter when you're signing or resigning someone.

Also it is nice to be able to see stats from previous years. It's always disappointing to me when you move onto the next season, and it is as if Madden essentially just deletes the season that you just finished.

Hopefully, Kolbe brings some of those ideas over.

I mentioned this in another thread and thought it could belong in here too.


Sync to real NFL feature


When starting up a CFM, you can click "sync" and then advance to whatever week the NFL is currently in irl, the W/L, stats, injuries and FA moves up to that week sync with what really happened in the NFL to that point. Like, whenever the roster update comes out, it also downloads a script for running sync too.


It probably won't go beyond Superbowl week as then there is less reason to buy the next game if there aren't amazing improvements (the yearly roster update).

here is an adjunct to the prior post, sync to season start. rosters, injuries etc. at the end of preseason inc accurate draft picks, not taking 75 man and simming preseason as that gives incorrect rosters etc.

Both the above post and mine should be voluntary not by default. Also the FA pool should be accurate including UDFAs especially all the rookies which seem to disappear, For example there is a rookie safety Amos with da bears, in my Browns cfm offline he isnt on any team or in FA pool.

Reason number 387 to allow us to edit draft classes or rosters...

Sometimes I wonder if they are ever trying.
