Exactly. FadeEmAll's awesome post was for nothing I guess. It had everything everybody wanted to know.

What would have been the harm in answering the questions?

This was probably answered by now, but I figured I'd throw in my $.02 anyway.

Recent NFL Head Coaches that Played In the NFL:
Dick Jauron (Bills)
Gary Kubiak (Texans)
Tony Dungy (no longer with a team)
Bill Cowher (same as Dungy)
Jack Del Rio (Jaguars)
Jeff Fisher (Titans)
Herm Edwars (same as Cowher)
Tom Cable (Raiders)
Jim Zorn (Redskins)
Sean Payton (Saints, practice squad player in NFL)
Ken Whisenhunt (Cardinals)
Jim Haslett (no longer with team or coordinator for Rams, not sure which)
Mike Singletary (49ers)
Mike Holmgren (no longer with team)

I'm sure there's others that I cannot think of but I know these guys for sure were players in the NFL.

Will the new franchise hub not allow for us to view CPU vs CPU games?

I agree with what you're saying but FadeEmAll seemed to be O.K. with the responses by his post on the first page and happy overall with the direction headed.

Right, it sounds silly. If you have this 50 rated player and he kills it for a month, you can't expect them to do it for the whole year and then progress for the following season. I propose a monthly progression system, That was if someone is in outstanding form they will be recognized for it right away. Anyway, moving on that's something for Madden 11 now, hopefully what's in 10 will be good enough and much better than 09.

Personally I'd be all for a weekly progression system. Or a confidence rating (a purely performance based rating) that adjusts weekly. High confidence gives players slight bonuses, low confidence has the reverse effect. You see it in the NFL when a player has a good week, he gets a confidence boost and he can build on it. It works the other way too, when a QB comes out and has a bad game, often it can become a slump and they have to fight really hard to get out of it or even they get pulled.

I am expecting a major overhaul of the current progression for Madden 11 though. Josh said they simply made this years progression playable, and are looking to implement a better progression system in the future. I'm hoping that means in the next dev cycle...

Well, as it was a composite list of the most popular questions, it is very possible FEA's questions were answered.

Hopefully draft pick trades are more realistic. I'd like to see Madden go directly from an NFL trade value chart.
