I've been looking for franchise info as well. I heard great things about the gameplay in 09, but I am HUGE into franchise mode. I don't play online at all, but LOVE getting 5, 6 years into a franchise.

However, I bought 08 when it came out, and started running in to MANY bugs in franchise mode (computer roster mismanagement a few years down the road, leading to not being able to continue to next game. Franchise killing bug. Not to mention poor scouting / draft, bad player progression, etc.) Basically, everything I loved about Franchise mode in previous years was just, .... not working in 08 (PS3). So, I told myself I'd read message boards, etc., in 09 before buying it, to see if franchise was better. Everything I read said no, so I didn't bother. Stuck with NCAA 08.

Anyway, I'm really thinking I'll get Madden this year...IF the franchise mode works MUCH better than 08's. Very curious to find out...
