I USED to jump right into franchise.
Now i test bugs from the previous year to see if they are still there. Then i go to edit and search for glitches/bugs. Then maybe play now to get a feel of the new game and hope i dont put it away til next year hoping for MORE. Then i start on slider adjustments, this is where the bulk of my first few days ends up. Then start a franchise and cross my fingers.
God i miss just jumping in and knowing only good things lie ahead....Remember those days?
