So, the logic has been fixed and we got some bells and whistles.

Uh, ok.

Avg players?

Jauron, Dungy, Edwards, Del Rio, Fischer and Singletary were avg players?

One is HOF and the others were good to great players.

Don't kid yourself. If it wasn't for us, there wouldn't be a need for a blog. Who else is dissecting the post moments after it is made?

I get what you're saying, but I feel that if they're going to put up a mini-hype for it (holding out the information specifically for a blog post), then it better deliver more than 14 questions, especially considering the amount of legitimate questions that were asked.

Are we seriously arguing over the players who become coaches in franchise mode. How is this even remotely crucial? I understand the concept of to each his own, but can you seriously be tripping about Deion being a coach?!?!

I'm sorry, but this is all semantics. I agree that it's usually lesser known/skilled players becoming coaches, but I'm okay with it being bigger names in Madden. He never said head coaches either...he just said coaches. In the past, they were mediocre at best and generally had one peak skill related to the position they played. Seems fine to me.

I've seen a lot of arguing about this and zero suggestions. How would you propose it's done? Should it just arbitrarily spit out low rated guys or should there be a formula in place? Base it on awareness, perhaps (but, then again, high awareness is usually for the higher ranked player, leading to the same issues, I'd imagine).

I'm not saying anything is wrong with preferring lesser players or HOF types becoming coaches in Madden (It IS more realistic that way after all, I agree). I just don't understand the utter disappointment in how it's being presented. It's something that no game has done differently, and I'd imagine it's an "easier said than done" type features.

Remember, the game doesn't know these characters as actual people, just a jumble of data. Maybe assign certain guys a "future coach" type logic or tag of some sort...I dunno. I guess I don't personally get why this has become the talking point of the franchise blog (I mean, there are, IMO, more pressing concerns, right?)...lol. Everyone has their thing though.

Why can't people discuss anything on this board without someone thinking that a person is "tripping" or "panties are in a bunch?" It's a message board for crying out loud.

It's not that serious. Geesh

That logic is incredibly flawed.

We have been asking for more info on franchise for awhile now. The only thing this blog really did was go into more detail about what they said they were going to fix in the first blog.

NOTHING new came out of this blog really. Some decent info, but nothing new.

Its not about them not telling us enough. In fact, I think they told us just about everything, and while chise should be improved. I think its pretty obvious its not as in depth as many hoped it would be.
