alright thanks, That is a big for me lol, because there are like 10 of my friends that all want to do a franchise like we do in NCAA but we need those draft classes to actually know who we are picking up. If its in it is a must have for me, and if its not then well i might not be getting it.

Actually I thought that it had been revealed.
My understanding is that the draft classes are going to be random names, positions etc. This ensures that no two draft classes are the same.

I'm pretty sure what he's referring to is our NCAA Draft Classes, not the ones that are automatically generated by Madden.

Thats for offline franchise. They haven't released any specs for online franchise yet.

That is correct. They have made no info available yet about ONLINE Franchise. We will have to wait and see what we the final product will feature.

The ability to Import NCAA Draft Classes would be really nice. It would be much better than the predetermined draft classes we are currently getting and every coach knows exactly who is who.

NCAA Online Dynasty seems to do a very good job generating recruits each season randomly. We are 20+ seasons deep in our Online Dynasty now and I can rarely remember seeing the same recruits name twice. Not to mention they accurately pronounce those names (and mine) in the game.

I also love to edit everything. But right now, I would be willing to settle on just finally having a salary cap and free agency.

Custom Scheduling for non division games (ala NCAA Online Dynasty) would be great too.

It takes literally several seasons to play someone if they are not in your division. That is way too long especially if you have a smaller number of coaches but still want to play them once a season.

They way it works in Madden Online Franchise currently is like the real NFL where you play your 3 division opponents twice a season but then rotate the rest of the league basically 2 different divisions each season. Being that there are 8 total divisions in the NFL it takes anywhere from 3 to 4 seasons (depending on the conference) to rotate back around to the same team.

So, if I am the Patriots (AFC) and you are the Falcons (NFC), I will probably only play you once every 4 seasons, barring a SuperBowl appearance.

Let's say its just the 2 of us in the Franchise, that is way too long to wait to matchup and makes it much less fun. I want to play the user coaches every season if possible without having to be in the same division.

So, Custom Schedules would be a huge addition and make it more functional.
