Screenshots from 5/16 Franchise Video

Ugh. This is still nothing more than a rental for me. The franchise hub is so ****ing uninspired and boring. It looks like complete ****.

And there is STILL no decent way to receive news around the league. You can make all the blogs about better CPU GMs and team management you want EA, but it doesn't mean a goddamn thing if I'm not being made aware of it. And before some smartass brings it up- I shouldn't have to manually go through each team's roster to find this stuff out; and their "NEWS" section they currently have is fundamentally broken on just a ridiculous amount of levels. I want the top, most game changing and significant news. Not every bit of the most insignificant transactions/injuries in alphabetical order.

Yes...because the franchise hubs graphical interface is such a huge part of the game.

Guess some people just like to complain.

Were ads in the franchise hub last year. I didn't think they were. So maybe they removed them from in game and moved them into the franchise hub.

When 99.9% of your playing time (not counting being in an actual game) is spent in that menu, YES it is pretty ****ing important. Their menus and franchise hub have been an issue with people for years, and it still continues to go ignored.

And don't tell me they added a bunch of stuff this year so maybe they just didn't have time and will maybe redo it next year. They've already made some changes to it this year, so obviously they worked on it some, but, in typical EA fashion, it was half-assed.

Yes...swearing really drives your point home.

And compared to everything else they did...no...it wasnt that important. Would it be nice? yes, but it means absolutely nothing without the other changes they made.

Yep...they sure half assed it. Im sure if you were on the development team though...you couldve done it. Sadly, they dont have your expertise, so they half to make due with what they have.

They've already said that this was before they tuned salary cap, so no need to fret.

I think you raise a real good point...but is all the swearing necessary? Over the franchise hub. PLEASE.

But to your point, I agree. I was hoping for something a little more informative at a glance.
