First day franchise mode impressions:

After reading that guy's franchise mode impressions, I am now anxiously awaiting a game I didn't think I would get. As I have stated many times, I am a franchise nut, and reading that he thoroughly enjoyed free agency and the draft sold me. Those are two of my favorite things to do in franchise mode besides actually play the games, and combine that with the fact that while ESPN is good, it is not up to par, I now have to get Madden.

hopefully he doesn have the final version...the RFA bug he talks about doesnt make me happy at all.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it is in fact the final version.

spin16, how does the gameplay feel

[spin16]

I actually haven't gone through game play much...been mostly focused on franchise mode. I'll do more game play tomorrow.

Player speeds are the same as last year, and I just started testing bump and run a bit, but I don't have anything to conclusive to say on that yet.

I need to know more about the RFA thing spin. Does it detract from playing franchise mode? Is there any way around it (i.e. can it be turned off or simply avoided)? Also, the cap percentages, like how much it's raised per year, does that detract from franchise mode at all?
