Not really. If the player is at the draft, they have people in the back applying name plates as the picks come in.

NBA Live and NHL hockey need the same type of love and dedication. It's been lacking for years and this needs to change. Glad to hear Madden is taking their franchise mode seriously. This is what their fans want. Another game developer we know that makes a baseball game should take note as well. This is how you do it.*

Since they have it in the game now it would be nice in franchise mode if the first round picks would come out and hold a jersey of that team up.

Not sure where you're getting that from. They've literally been doing it over 20 years now.

Show some other ones now. The first pick is a little bit different. Everyone and their momma knew the Cardinals were gonna pick Murray. I don't recall this routinely being the case.

Again, that's a number #1 overall pick. They even had Peyton's number on that one. So me someone else like a trade up that no one saw coming. Show me that they have a jersey with the player's name on it and I'll conceed the point.

Yes i totally agree and to say they are even committed to Franchise is nothing short of a joke. Why do i say this? Simple. Take one quick look at the huge difference between what little EA is adding when they are "recommitted to franchise" compared to what 2K added to its franchise mode last year.

Both have the same amount of dev time, so thats no reasonable excuse. Both have a ton of money to spend , so thats no excuse. So until EA turns this amount of stuff out for franchise mode, dont try to sell me on some BS that they really care about franchise mode, because their actions prove they dont really.They clearly CAN do this amount because they clearly have the amount of money to be able to , they just refuse to. Tired of all the excuses people make for them and their slackness. Even more tired of people trying to praise them just because they did alittle something. That only tells them , why bother doing more when people love us for doing alittle.....
