This looks....really good. Just started watching (24 minutes!)

The coaching system + trade finders have been 2 of my biggest desires. The coaching system is the perfect way to tie together morale, strategies and player conversations which have been a little disjointed. The more I watch the more I'm thrilled. Assistant coaches, different types, systems..wow.

Small note: they added the team the player played for in the stat page. Finally. They have ice-time allocation in the lines now too. The chemistry system is really nice. Holy cow, they tweaked it so that if a player is playing well, they'll be more valuable in a trade or ask for more money.

This is going to be a ton of fun.

But can you control multi franchises (commish type mode) like all of the other franchise modes in madden/show/2k etc.?

Day 1 for me. I haven’t bought since NHL 15. Looks like franchise mode is finally where I wanted it to be fun to replay.

yeah like 2k doing it for NBA 2k too.. Franchise Mode is dull and stale for Madden NFL is so shame. stop being too lazy and take notices from NBA 2k and NHL franchise mode and do that for Madden NFL

Franchise may be the same as previous years in Madden, but it's still damn fun.

Have never bought a hockey game or really know that much about the sport but after watching that video I’m definitely giving this game a try.

To be fair, this is the first real franchise update in many years. NHL seems to have a deep franchise mode and subpar game play while Madden's game play is great and franchise mode unchanged (although M19 was the first Madden I really liked in a very long time).

Does the Coouper Toms coach look like a 53yr old? lol. Come on EA you can do better than that!

Would have been nice to have the cap space available from each team on the trade finder screen.
