Will Madden 12 have a better highlight show?

And some of it is stretched into Superstar mode, but it's focused more on 1 player and nobody else. And as has been said a zillion times, during the week, they need to have a REAL highlight show. Weekly highlights and halftime highlights. Just showing replays of random big plays is boring. You can pull them up anytime you want to at the pause menu. I want to hear a commentator or analyst DESCRIBE the play as it's happening, ala Chris Berman/Tom Jackson/Bob Costas/Keith Olberman, etc... Other games have done this in the past on older consoles. This should be easy on the 360/PS3. AND they need to incorporate OTHER league games - generate highlights based on the simmed stats from OTHER games around the league. I want to feel like I'm a NFL owner - in a LEAGUE with 32 other owners. Bring the whole LEAGUE to life.

Great Post..

There needs to be a Fantasy football mode.

Where you can draft your players for FF. And the play with your franchise. And rack up stats on players you have on your FF team.

I can see it now... 'Rookie' difficulty fantasy heroes! lol

Sorry to the OP, I feel like my original post caused a slight hijacking of the thread topic.

I totally agree with you on that one bro. Franchise mode and Presentation should go hand in hand. It shouldn't just be about presentation within the game you are playing on gameday. It should be good presentation during the week and the offseason aswell tracking the offseason personal movements and the draft and other stuff like that. I'm very much hoping that they have focus more on combining presentation and franchise mode this year.
