    Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

    Check out our Madden NFL 10 franchise mode preview. If you have any questions, I'll try to get another article up, later in the week, if need be.

    "Welcome to Madden NFL 10 franchise mode. This is year 1 of my Dallas Cowboys franchise, I'll try to cover what I can, then answer questions tomorrow or during the week.

    Let's start with the franchise setup. From here, just pick your team. For those wondering, you can select all 32, if you want to.

    Next it's the Franchise setup options. I'll just list them here:

    Sim Injuries: (On/Off)
    Injuries: (On/Off)
    Salary Cap: (On/Off)
    Quarter Length: (1-15 minutes)
    Fantasy Draft: (On/Off)
    Trade Deadline: (On/Off)
    Use Preexisting Injuries: (On/Off)
    Update Depth Chart: (CPU/User)
    Re-Sign Players: (CPU/User)
    Free Agent Wire: (CPU/User)
    Sign Draft Picks: (CPU/User)
    Fill Roster: (CPU/User)
    Accelerated Clock: (Off, 15, 20, 25 seconds)

    Next is preseason, for those that asked, you can't change your preseason schedule. In the main franchise hub, you can check the leagues top stories, manage your team. Look at your preseason schedule, manage your players (release, re-sign, trade, place a player on the trade block, make a team captain and edit a player). When going into player editor, while you can change player info and equipment, you can't change any ratings. You can tinker the depth chart, get a roster breakdown, look at the free agents (of note, you will see P. Burress, C. McAlister, E. James, M. Harrison, G. Ellis, R. Harrison, A. Toomer, D. Brooks, of course many more) and also look at the injury report."

      Nice read.

      Think we can get an example of player progression?

        Don't usually step in here but thanks for the read...How the heck did the Steelers win 14 games with Big Ben on the shelf for 5 weeks?! That seemed a bit um, ODD.

          Only thing in the stats that I didn't care for was the number of rushing td's. Other than that, it looked good. No sliders in online franchise might cause some problems. Overall, great info! Thanks

              Great writeup Steve and thanks for taking the time to sim a season and post the stats.

              Alot of good information.

              I know the Vikes offered you a trade during the draft, but did cpu teams trade amongst themselves?

                  Great write-up Steve. Thanks a ton!

                  Question for Steve or anyone else that knows from previous Madden's...Can you save the game in the middle of the draft?

                  Also, I know how it works in real life, but how does the Franchise tag works in Madden?

                        Thanks for the info Steve. I wish Madden would give us the option of changing the game minutes for simulated games. That way we could keep up with the league leaders and be rewarded in progression.
