Is it possible to realign the divisions?

Can you move teams from one division to another in franchise? I didn't play Madden 11, so I don't know if it was an option.

I don't think so. It was a pretty nice feature. I think next gen hasn't had this feature in. any of their games.

Nope cant do it and probably never will....it seems the contract they have with the NFL makes them keep things as is...that's why you can't even build a new stadium without relocating a team and changing it's name. If you use a create a team you must put it in the division of the team you are replacing.

Why would you want to? The NFL has the absolute best division/conference alignment in all of professional and even collegiate sports

Ah, that's too bad.

It's better than it was but having Dallas in the East?
Miami in the East instead of the South?
Indy in the South instead of the North?
Baltimore in the North Instead of the east?
Stl Louis and Kc in the west instead of more central?

They do the best they can, I'm not knocking that but MLB has far more accurate divisions geographically. KC and Pitt are more central USA as is STL.

All those teams have rivalries (except for Indy and St. Louis) that justify them being in their respective divisions. A rivalry is much more important than geography imo.
I could only see using this feature to even out the spread of user teams per division if I were in an online franchise that wasn't full. Even then it would be hard for me to break up some old rivalries. But to each his own, I'm always for more customization options.

History and rivals. After the recent division change when Arizona was moved over to the West everything is perfect. So you move Miami into the South and then lose the NY Jets vs Phins rivalry. St. Louis is in the West because they used to be in LA and then moved. KC is again in the West because of........RIVALRIES! Baltimore - same thing.
