Alot of Franchise bugs would be UFA's :P

[Cnada]

If bugs could gain years of experience they would be free to sign with other Ea games :P

heres a few that annoy me please fix them this year

1. Free agent guys during the season come up with reasonable contracts (ie 750k 1 year) but when its time to sign them to due to injuries at position they want alot of money...

2. Trading players and Cap penalties

this really confuses me because the trade screen says "No penalties" at all times so i dont know the effect a trade will have, i went from -10 under the cap to over 30 (had to restart because meant cutting the core players)

3. Several injuries at a position means the punter and kicker play...thats bad...but they can actually play well!!
My D-line coulnt get past the Punter at LG! ?

What are the other veteran bugs looking to be dealt this year?!

The biggest fix for any of the Roster problems in Franchise mode would be alleviated by increasing the amount of Free Agents available as well as expanding teams in general.

IE - Practice Squads and working/functional Injured Reserve/PUP lists.
As it stands right now, IR is as empty and pointless as Pre-Season.

I have a hopeful/delusional feeling that Looman is going to make Franchise Mode amazing this year.

While I am also expecting a few bugs here and there, he has now been with Madden for over a full year cycle and that should translate well into the game for Madden 11.

I think Joborule and a few other people have a great list of what is needed to make Franchise Mode the best it can be.

[Mr. Franchise]

How bout we fix the fact that the CPU doesn't make ANY trades.

I know I'm preaching to the choir, but past history shows this not to be a safe bet. It's just never been a point of emphasis on this gen's iterations, and there really is no sign of that changing. But they'll write a blog or emphasize in their talking points their new "online this" or "online that" feature.

They did not create, nor fix, reasonably correct offline franchise stats last year.

"If it walks, talks, and sounds like a duck...", so I am not expecting anything different.

But to the OP's point, oh yeah, they need to seriously QA Madden 12.

The stats for offline are a bit crazy after a few of the patches, the rbs easily reach 1000 by week 10..

Its true the computer doesnt trade much but neither does anyone in the nfl.

I totally forgot that IR doesnt do anything either which defies having it in the game.

It does save you cap space, I think, but cap space is almost never worth caring about.
