Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

[MADman24]

Are the same drills still the same for progressing players?

And can you run through a season and scout a draft class so you can see if it valuable information can be gained in determining who the busts and sleepers are going to be as opposed to the generic comments of the past few years which didn't help at all?

1. If I play a franchise and decide to redo my franchise again. Does rookie draftees ratings change? What i mean is that i hope they are not preset. I don't want to know the future of rookie drafttes if i decide to replay my franchise.

2. I didn't see "Coaches Mode" option. Is it in there?

3. Is "Coaches Mode" option allowed for ONLINE FRANCHISE PLAY?

4. How are the penalties? Do you see "Roughing The Passer"?

5. Is "Broadcast Camara" angle in the game?

I can answer a few of these:

1.) There are 90 draft classes (90 QB classes, 90 RB classes, etc), and each positional grouping is randomly selected for each year, so theoretically you'll probably never have the exact same draft class any one year (if I'm wrong, please someone jump in and correct me; it's been a while since I read that blog).

2.) There is an option for coach mode (I saw it in one of the screenshots), but I don't know how it plays.

3.) Don't know.

4.) From what I've read - yes. You even have late hit penalties on other positions.

5.) Not at the outset, but Ian has said this is being worked on in a patch. Maybe after a month or so after release. But there's no guarantee. Something about there are bugs whenever that mode is used.

No changing sliders in Online franchise? This is the biggest miss from the dev team for me and my friends and family. I was really looking forward to the whole online franchise feature. I guess we will have to wait untill M11 if they add the sliders in the online franchise for that game. Ill just put my money on something else and look forward to M11. Unless this is patched of course.

Good read Steve so did you look on the players award history to see if it shows that person winning a superbowl? Oh I did read where they didnt add letting the first rounders come up and put the hat on and hold the jerseys up, Maybe next year for a real live draft feel. Right Steve?
