Quick Franchise Info- I have the game

[rckabillyRaider]

One quick thing I noticed, possibly a bug, is that if you edit the player ratings, those changes stay until you turn off your machine. I edited Nmandi of the Raiders for example, to a overall rating of like 80 just to test. I then wanted to restore his ratings to the original default settings and I couldnt. I deleted the roster file and even pressed the Y button that says reset to default ratings. I was starting to panic! LOL. But i just turned it off and back on and everything went back to normal

you cant do scouting in the offseason, after the draft it doesnt show up

you do it during the preseason, regualar season and playoffs

In-season scouting is in this year and yes it works.

It doesn't become available until the regular season starts and the more weeks you spend scouting a player the more accurate the 'scouting report' becomes.

you are right. Scouting is still in. Gives you the option to scout up to 20 players. Looks the same as 08, if I remember correctly. I just missed it cuz I simmed the whole season.

Is this confirmed? If so does the scouting option actually work?

There is also a coaching staff hiring process, just like in old gen. Not sure if that was in Madden 08 as I never bothered to finish a season. As for the draft, I checked through all the teams and rookie WR's after the draft and the lowest speed I saw was like 89 and the highest was 96. It doesnt seem like you can edit ratings once the Franchise has started though. That sucks. You can only edit equipment once the franchise starts.

Thanks for that, rckabilly.......

Thanks rckabilly for taking time to answer so many questions for everyone. I have one that ive tried to find the answer to in a few different places, but did not get a definite answer, so i thought i would ask here:

Is There a export team option in the franchise mode this year?

They use to have it in the pervious gen game, and it was one of my favorite features. my best friend and i like to do a fantasy draft together, then take our teams home, work on them for a year or two, then export them and play against eachother.

Thanks again man!

well, under franchise setup, i saw a new option that says export active team. I did that and it then allows you to save and use your franshie team in a Play Now match. So yeah, if you did a fantasy draft in the start of your franchise, then yes you would be able to use it against your buddies if you guys play on the same console with 2 controllers I am assuming
