I'm currently playing Madden 07 on OG Xbox in Franchise and even with the Tony Bruno Show, Gameplanning, Practice, Scouting etc...it's a relatively simple and easy process with not much time being spent on it. As much as I want a deep immersive Franchise mode, I just don't know if I have the time or energy to play let's say a Franchise where the GM aspect was as deep as NFL Head Coach 09 and then still having to play the game.

I really enjoyed Head Coach. I would still be playing it, if rosters could be updated.

I would be fascinated to see how well it would sell, if it were updated and re-released in 2020.

The beauty of NBA2K is you can pick and choose what YOU want to control and what you want automated by the CPU. What a concept. Then you can have a Head Coach type franchise depth and opt to do none of it while others can opt to do all of it.

Simple lol. None of the stuff were asking for is hard to do since its been done in games over 10 years old

HARD pass on the radio show coming back. We'd get an NFL Net stooge like Peter Schrager on the mic. No thanks.

I'd assume that a guy like Rich Eisen would be more likely considering he's going to be in M21. That said, I doubt we have a radio show or any type of recap show anytime soon.

Didn't EA put Stephen A. Smith in one of their NBA Live games?

Well technically it's a new feature to Madden 21. I already know how this forum would react. I don't think any sports game is reinventing the wheel, but thats my opinion. May be a new feature to new users or ppl that have skipped Madden. Disclaimer - I will never listen to that youtuber, so I didn't listen to the interview.

Actually, for EA, it might be more difficult than you realize.

Here is a short interview from just last year with someone that used to work on older FM. He said it was difficult to transition old stuff from FM to the new technology they put in the game.

I pass on anything associated with RM. He is an insincere, self-absorbed shill who is not honest with his audience or video clips. He professes to do all his clips in order to make the game better. I think we all know better. he has an axe to grind and was left in the dust by EA and others for very good reasons, he is still not over it.

Unfortunately, he has fans who only care about bashing EA at every turn, and wouldn't know an unbiased fair review if they fell over it.
