I love the franchise upgrades, especially DPP and player traits, but there is one reason above all others that is causing me to buy this year's edition of Madden:
The ability to edit players in franchise mode.
With that ability the possibilities are endless for me with franchise mode. I already have plans to randomly select 12 players each season and change their OVR by +9, +6, +3, -3, -6, -9. I'll do the same with players' potential. I'm going to change any player progression I don't agree with. I'm going to edit rookies that are unrealistic. It's going to be great
