How can they not even mention franchise mode?
That said,
I hope they have better playbook and create a gameplan that is built with play calling included. I like the idea of playing games with 50-60 plays per team and the game only taking 30 minutes to get through a season at a faster pace because I enjoy the offseason (esp. when it is done right) portion of the game.
I also, like the idea of a setup where there is more of a feel of a QB taking the plays in on field. If it is done right this could be a interesting.
Also, any time gameplay is improved it isn't a bad thing. Hopefully, everyone time the adjust gameplay the keep in mind rating impacting the feel of the gameplay so each player feel differently.
