Good read Steve so did you look on the players award history to see if it shows that person winning a superbowl? Oh I did read where they didnt add letting the first rounders come up and put the hat on and hold the jerseys up, Maybe next year for a real live draft feel. Right Steve?

only things that kinda bugged me were the limited amount of rushing touchdowns and peyton manning throwing 48 tds...an incredible performance like that will not happen more than 2 times in a decade...especially cause they dont have marvin anymore..if he threw somewhere around 38 like brady did, then that would be great. also, marques colston did way too good. if u checked that one video with the extra point and franchise whatever, it shows colston as player of the week..he had 14 receptions 130 yards and 4 TDS....thats kinda something annoying about all madden games. and u would think colston would not do that great considering he just got off of a knee injury that kept him out for the season...but anyway...this game is gonna be great...as long as they fixed franchise, im happy

Just to clarify, Colston didn't have a knee injury, it was a thumb injury, and he wasn't out for the season, he played in 11 games and had 760 yards and 5 TDs. http://www.mahalo.com/marques-colston-injury

I do agree though that 14 catches and 4 TDs is a little much, not because Colston is incapable, because he most certainly is... but because the Saints spread the ball around so much, it's highly unlikely any one receiver will catch that many balls in a single game.

If you get chance I would love to hear if draft picks can be traded in an online franchise. All of this stuff is great to see a little early. Great job on the info

Re: Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

I don't know whether there were trades or something but Bart Scott was on the Ravens and John Abraham was on the Jets?

Re: Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

There are some pretty high sack numbers. FYI, Matt Cassell was sacked the most last year with 47

QB Sacks
B. Quinn (CLE) - 62
J. Cutler (CHI) - 57
D. Garrard (JAX) - 53
J. Kitna (DAL) - 52
M. Sanchez (NYJ) - 51

you raise a very good point. I'm honestly surprised it took this long for someone to notice. It would be one thing if it was one team but this makes it look like atleast 1/3 of the NFL will give up more than the most given up last year. I would be curious to see how teams stacked up in other years before last.

The odd thing is that sack numbers were down for the league leaders on defense compared to last year's stats. I would think there would be at least one guy with monster sack numbers

Sack
T. Cole (PHI) - 16
D. Ware (DAL) - 15
D. Freeney (IND) - 13
J. Abraham (NYJ) - 12
Osi (NYG) - 12

Re: Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

No, that was never confirmed. Player equipment and the like was, not ratings.



Yes, they are. unfortunately, there's a problem with the sim engine in that it tends to short change runningbacks near the goalline. Josh spent extensive time trying to get this fixed, but it's an inherent limitation in the stat gen that he hopes to rebuild next year based on SuperSim.

I'm going to play around with the SuperSim when I get the game and see if I can squeeze more realistic rushing TD numbers out of it.

Well thats good to hear that the rush TD stats are only off on "paper" not on the field...i dont indulge too much on stats as much as actual gameplay..i mean i do care about viewing the stats,league/my team stats, end of year awards,etc but as with most videogames..i use my imagination when i need too lol..by the way, i never sim entire seasons neither...

Also.. MMChriss..nice write up bro, appreciate it. I got a giggle out of the "No, the #1 pick dont get up on stage with cap and jersey" comment lol..this is something i asked for this last off season lol hahahaha..although i still feel it would be rock'n to have this in madden in the future.

Franchise dont look to different then previous years as others have stated BUT it does look like its been fine tuned alot...thx for the article

Re: Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

It's a shame about the rushing td's. Everything else looks alright.

Can we get some examples of progression?

Re: Madden NFL 10: Franchise Mode Preview

please don't say computer teams only take 10 to 15 seconds for each draft pick in the game. Thsi is a killer to me. I want a realistic draft with teams taking their time, at least a minute or so. What's the problem witgh extending the picking time? The user can advance each pick.

Come on EA, please say it ain't so! 10 or 15 seconds for each pick? That makes about 6 minutes for the WHOLE first round!! Where's the fun and realism in that??
