In line with FadeEmAll's question 23:
Will a players performance have any relevance to thier next years overall and CPU going after them.
Example: A RB with 88 overall rushes for only 800 yards and 7 TD's while a RB with overall 80 rushes for 1200 and 23 TD's.
Who will progress the most and more importantly will the CPU AI recognize that the 80 overall player had the better year and possibly go after them over the 88 overall RB?

2: Draft day: More Exciting/Atmosphere?

Thanks,

NFL challenge system, is it finally in the game? yes this is a franchise question it goes toward stats, If I throw a TD or run for x amount of yards and its questionable for or against I want to be challenged or I want to challenge the play, so I can break Peytons record or Walter paytons record.

How much does a good coach matter for your franchise? Can we still have a garbage coach with talented players and go 16-0? I would like to be able to go from a 1-15 team to an 11-5 team just from a change of coaches.

Has anything been done to fix the scheduling logic? Will we still see teams with 4 straight Monday night games or open the season with a 6-game road trip?

Has the ability the select our preseason opponents made it back in. If not, will I still see the situation where divisional opponents play each other in the regular season?

Is the annual International Game depicted in the game or will New England simply play a road game in Tampa in year 1?

will it be fun enough to play more than 2 seasons?

LOL, i want to re-iterate I did not come with all these questions myself, I pulled these from all the pages so it would make it easier for John to look and pick the questions he wants to answer. I was attempting to help us all.

Has trade logic been improved at all?...Will I still be able to trade for Matthew Stafford even though the lions just drafted him 1st overall and made him their franchise player?

Aside from some of the great questions posed thus fare, I'd like to know about details in presentation/immersion.

Do guys have morale that matters this year?

Do guys fit into systems (I'm not expecting a HC type detail of playbook knowledge, etc...but even a generic familiarity with a particular offense/defense would be something).

Is there anything to distinguish players besides contract demands and rating?

Are there any new stats tracked (in addition to half sacks/tackles)?

Team and league records: Have they been expanded in any way?

Earlier it was said that players ratings could be edited in franchise (excellent news). If you edit players, will it alter/stop progression? This question would appply beyond ratings too...I'd hate to edit a guy's armbands to find I killed progression.

Is there a way to talk a player out of retirement, or into more years?


I just want as many pages as it takes to go over every possible detail...

That's not asking too much, is it?
