A huge aspect of franchise that I enjoy is checking out how the rookies are performing throughout the year for each draft class. However, the only way to do this is to scroll down the season stats or view each team individually, etc.

I would love to have a 'Rookie's Corner' (or any other name you like) that would show all of the rookies in the league, by stat category (or position), and allow you to track their progress through the season. It could be as simple as just showing their statistics in descending order, just like the regular season stats page. Obviously you could go in much more depth than this, but that would be a great start.

Perhaps I'm the only one that enjoys that? However, I doubt it.

I agree 100%....2k5 had this right as you could seperate the rookies from the vets when looking at stats...it was the little things like that which made it such a great game...

yes sir. in my franchise i don't even know who half the rookies are

I agree... the closest you can get is to rank them by age but obviously that's flawed because you get 23 yr old rookies whilst you can have 22 yr olds in their 3rd year.

It would be a pretty easy thing to implement for most games but given the roster menu setup being as awful as it is in Madden, I don't see a way it can be put in with the current system.

I agree Madden Franchise mode needs to promote it's stars and rookie stars much like the NFL does. A rookie's corner would be great.

I hope next year they put 90% of their work into presentation and franchise.

The fact that a game made 5 years ago kills them in presentation is pathetic.

I have to point out I love this Madden version. I play it everyday. I just want more.

i agree with this...every time i play a team i go through their depth chart to check out all the new guys(rookies especially)
also thy should add the players draft history like they did in previous versions of the game
now I dont know who was my 1st round pick in this year or my steal from the 7th
