Just saying, if this game is being marketed as the most realistic ever, then I would expect a Franchise mode where you can practice, evaluate and make difficult decisions going forward to the next season.
It isn't nit picking but in all seriousness, there seems to be more discussion regarding protecting a developer. We have yet to play the game and with the greatest respect I am not being dragged too far along by hype and hyperbole. I believe that this year is going to a vast improvement.
Remember last year and the one before...so much promise and excitement then unwanted bugs and disappointment. I feel that if there was more to do in off season other than trades, free agency and the draft (even the chance to evaluate a specific number of players on the draft board) and then you will take more ownership of your team.
And lets be clear here, I was bang out of order with the unfortunate word but lets not become literacy nazis and have a debate based on what I feel is a valid point.
