i hope they get all the assistants with photos in the game this year. They took that out last year, and I was really hoping to hire Kevin Greene to run my D!

Cut day and expanded rosters are a much needed addition to this gen games. Preseason might actually matter which would be great. I wonder if they do use real players if a ton of old veterans stick around in the game (ie. Daunte Culpepper), will they havea ton of real unsigned rookies, or fake players. Hopefully not the first

Re: Madden 12 Cover Event - Few Minor Details on Franchise mode

This all sounds fantastic. The only thing I'm concerned about is if expanded rosters means fake players.

I'm taking it as the guys you drafted or picked up as free agents, you sign them to your practice squad and can call them up anytime you need them. I can hoe cant I?

News is good lately, 2 more weeks until that big impact news hits and this sound like its heading into the right direction already.

how bout a bettter draft system like nba2k11's with custom draft classes

[Bootzilla]

Sounds promising. What we really need is to change the position requirements for the final 53. OL, DL, DB, makes more sense than requiring a certain amount of tackles or a back up at both safety positions. At the very least we should be able to have a secondary position i.e. DE/OLB or H-back/TE/FB. This will enable your roster to be more realistic and flexible.

Damn, EA waste money. How much would this event in the middle of Times Square cost?

Regardless, Madden 12 sounds promising.

I think EA realizes where Madden is right now, and they pulled out the big budget to get it back to where its supposed to be. Hiring all those camera men and cinematographers couldn't have been chea either.

As long as they get madden up to par again idc how much they send, Franchise lookin good. I can't wait to see whats u with the inline cause madden usually has very playable servers

Just wish the ratings system would get an overhaul. There's been
many discussions about it as far as removing ratings all together etc...or making then not visa le except for 40 times, strength etc..
Something fresh is needed IMO. Despite having expanded rosters if Madden AI simply takes the highest rated players whats the benefit of training camp other than the ability to raise a players ratings etc...

I wish it was more 'what you showed' instead of what you're rated.
It's a start though.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Cover Event with a Few Minor Details on Franchise Mode

My issues with franchise mode (next gen) was that I could go undefeated, not resign any high priced FA, pick the fastest players at each position (without scouting), skip straight to the regular season because pre season meant nothing...wash rince repeat. Franchise mode became little more than 18 games and a draft. These are steps in the right direction but i wish it would have come in M09 rather than M12.

Hopefully this means 8 men practice squad as well.

Just to put this to bed. I presume the "minor details" are basically what was on the fact sheet given out.

Under the Franchise/Superstar mode topic there are these bullet points:

-"Franchise mode includes more than 100 new features and enhancements, including expanded rosters, an all-new rookie scouting system, a free-agent bidding system, and more."

-"In Superstar mode, fans can now control the growth of their superstar with an all-new progression system that allows you to earn skill points by participating in practice and games. More details on Franchise and Superstar modes will be released on May 16."

Theres a discussion here that says this is not true. That it was miss information

The confusion was people thought there was going to be 100 new features, then enhancements. Looman was just stating it is 100 new features and enhancements combined. So what Chase said is true.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Video - Cover Event with a Few Minor Details on Franchise Mode

I can't stand when they throw numbers around like this.. 100 new this 50 new that... I hate being a doosh bag, but I would like to see the 100 new features listed at some point in time.
