Do not misunderstand me here... I'm not saying Franchise mode wont be
significantly better. I'd put money on it being outstanding. What I'm saying is that I kind of expect them to stick within the same framework and make everything work right. A
working model of what already exist would make a lot of people here happy.
The reason to have hope is they haven't said anything. This tells me they're holding it back for the stretch run or EAnthonyS isn't approving what's there... if the latter is the case, expect something very big.
What I
am saying is that I don't expect a new interface, a new way of approaching franchise, I don't expect them to rewrite franchise from the ground up... rather add some new options and fix what's already there.
