Are you going to start your franchise right now or wait till the season starts?

I am waiting for the first roster update that comes out on the day to is released (or so I have been told). In the mean time I will continue to play around with the sliders.

Waiting for the 1st roster update and Jeremy Jarmon..

Don't feel right starting it without him and he's not in the FA

Lots of 10-12min All-Madden Unranked games until the update and the Online Franchise Servers

There is one roster update already as you logon to EA online. Is it just me or do this year's ratings look way toned down. You got some awful looking CBs ratings wise starting, some teams even have CBs with 79 SPD starting, but the strange thing is they are capable of covering WRs with 90 SPD fairly decently...how the heck does that happen?

That up date is not much, I will wait for the one (or see if it is true) that is suppose to come out Friday.

As for the ratings, yeah there down this year. (90's are the elite, 80's are solid starters, and 70's are very decent and also very good starters.

Lol where have you been? But yeah the ratings have been stretched out this year to separate the stars from the scrubs.

For the past 2 years I had heckled the old madden dev team about the inflated ratings, actually talked to Madbacker a bit, but still they were outta control.. Ian and the new dev team have done a great job with the ratings IMO...

as for franchise, as soon as I get the game tomorrow and get it in my 360 im starting my franchise...to fantasy draft or not to fantasy draft, that is the question...
