I know a lot of people would prefer an improved franchise mode than a better superstar mode. Personally, I love this mode and I have a few suggestions that could really make a difference in Madden 10.
1. Being automatically the starter when you start your career is ridiculous to me. For exemple, I was a RB and San Diego drafted me. On season opener, I was the starter and LT was only playing on 3rd downs.
Copy what Madden 09 had on current-gen : the "Earn your spot" feature where you have to work your way up the depth chart based on practise and game performances. Team expectations would also be great.
2. Make it WAY harder to get into the Hall of Fame. Use a list of achievements the player has to make during his career. Exemples for a RB : run for at least 10,000 yards, 5 or more seasons with 1,000 yards or 150 career TDs. This would turn Superstar into a more challenging mode and it would finally be worth playing on a long period.
What do you guys think about that?
