Not enough to do in Franchise mode

Should be some news stories about up and coming players while they are in college. I like the face lift the mode had gotten this year but going forward it needs to be more fulfilling. Just feels like I play recap rinse and repeat. I am very excited about this years NHL GM mode. Hope Madden can get to that type of level.

I agree with all of your points and I'm also excited about this year's NHL GM mode. That thing looks sick! Too bad I don't have the money to buy it at the moment

It's like another poster stated. Get rid of all the clutter. scrap the mini games. If you're not going to add anything new to superstar mode scrap it for now and bring it back later (it's not like you guys aren't doing that now) redone and new in 2012 or something. scrap madden test and virtual trainer they are wastes of memory and space.

Hopefully that should be enough space to add a more indepth franchise mode ala head coach 09............ hopefully

EXACTLY! HC09 FTW!!

But seriously, I've always maintained (and i'm sure everybody else would wholeheartedly agree) that if franchise was basically Head Coach (with a few tweaks here and there), but the games were fully playable just like madden 10, then you'd have a perfect (or near to it) franchise experience.

From coaches, to playcalling, to GMing, to scouting, to coach philosophies to ratings to health/fatigue to play-creating.... HC09 was the business and would/should satisfy any franchise player.

The problem i see with this is why would EA want to do that if they could just come out with Head Coach 11 or something and earn more money?

True and that's what pisses consumers off.

it annoys me a little that i cant run a practice in franchise mode. nothing crazy, just the same as the quick play practice. i just dont want to have to save my franchise, export my team, load my team, just to practice with my franchise squad

Dang, just bring back those player roles...
