I dont even get to progress my teams current back ups enough to do much good , let alone worry about trying to improve someone i just didnt want to cut , so he barley made my dang practice squad. I wont ever have enough time or points or whatever to spend on improving 3rd-4th stringers. Dynamic Development Trait- Dont sound all that dif than before, other than star dev guys last longer in league.... Whooptie Flip.Same bullcrap, just a new spicy name.Very minor addition if you can even call it that Regression Feedback- WTF is this? I already knew when my guys regressed. The issue is we wanted regression to be fixed and more realistic.... but hey just put that on us since you can't do it yourself correctly EA. Player Card Improvement- wow, color me not impressed by this one. And this year it was a focus huh? really? well i have no hope left for franchise now. Bland and vanilla additions. Thanks ea.This is so dang disappointing right now. Big Moments---- not interested Key moments- I only play in online league... wont ever touch this. #LETDOWNCITY #WHYAMISURPRISED

Im with you. We may be the minority though. Having seen some of EA devs reaching out and communicating with online leagues, I have to say I am shocked there isn't a lot more. Especially geared towards online leagues.

No draft board still. Major let down.

No exhibition games announced yet. How hard can it be to add that?

No extra tools for Commishes to undo games/roster dumps.

No draft/scouting tweaks that we know of yet.

If these wouldve been addressed, I wouldve been ecstatic.

The negative Nellies are strong in this thread. I'd couldn't be happier with Madden right now. Then again, I really enjoy the current madden.

Some really good info here. The new commentary team/presentation upgrades and these franchise mode improvements have me intrigued. Have to see more gameplay though because what I've seen so far has done little to inspire a purchase.

Really hyped now! I really love the addition of full editing, and practice squad. Not sure why people are disappointed by this. If this is any indication, then the future looks bright for Franchise mode. I'm ready for August 23rd now. Hopefully theirs more franchise news to come.

The Bears promoted a practice squad QB last year (David Fales) and cut Jimmy Clausen because Baltimore wanted Fales. Baltimore ended up signing Clausen. Not sure what takes place to alert teams, but the Bears knew of the interest.

Not sure how to incorporate that into Madden, but perhaps moving forward they can tie in some type of news story or internal message from the agent saying there is interest. Good start though by adding the practice squad into the game.

There is something about injuries in the Big Decision feature.
