Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

[coolguykris]

Can we expect the online franchise to have the same updates as the offline franchise?

[dragosteelers]

Will there be game breaks during games in franchise? (Showing scoring/big plays from another game happening at the same time like CBS has).

Has anything changed with the commentary?

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

Are teams more self aware with roster decisions especially depth charts? Starting a guy with much lower overall than a higher rated person? And does season performance affect the depth chart?

Hello and thanks in advance for asking questions for us!

I would like to know if the imported draft classes will be better rated?
also will owner mode be back..you know ticket prices and stuff?
Will the offseason be more indepth? for example more detail to the draft such as computer initaited raft day trades and the ability to trade for future draft picks?

1. Will we be allowed to trade future draft picks?

2. In real life, teams can amass as many draft picks as they want. Is this possible in Madden, or, at the very least, have the number of picks we are able to stockpile been increased?

3. I know you've heard this before, but the contract negotiation process in Head Coach '09 was terrific. Any chance we will get to see something similar in Madden?

4. Now that I mention it, what are the chances that we'll see a lot of what we saw in Head Coach with regards to roster management?

5. Hiring and firing of coaches and staff: will they impact the way players develop and perform?

6. Has owner mode gotten any attention? In other words, can we improve our stadium, or can we build new ones without relocating? Will we have any control over other financial issues (ticket prices, advertising dollars, concessions, etc.)?

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

is there a difference when scouting a DE from a 4-3 going to a 3-4?

[metovics8]

if you select all 32 teams, can off season tasks be set individually for each team (like NBA 2K11) or are they universal (like madden 11)?

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

What changes have been made to the draft and scouting?
What changes have been made to free agency?
Can you trade future draft picks?
Do coaches actually mean anything this year?
Will CPU controlled teams fire/hire coaches based on preformance or will they just make changes after the contract of the coach is up?
Does injured reserve work correctly?
Is there a practice squad?

Thanks for taking time to answer these questions.

I would like to know if the custom draft classes have been expanded or updated in any way from last year's game.

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

Let me preface this post by saying I'm absolutely STOKED for this blog, as franchise mode is where I spend legitimately 99% of my Madden time. Here's to hoping that the long, long wait has paid off.

That said, I have a few questions:


Are you able to edit player attributes at any point after you start a franchise?

Can you create a draft class and share via EA Locker or something of the sort?

Are there any new Head Coach-style face renders?

Has restricted free agency made a return to the series?

When relocating teams, is the create-a-logo/uniform updated in any way?

Do assistant coaches have portraits again?

Will we have a new hub for the mode, perhaps with an NFL.com homepage?

Are position battles/training camp making an appearance again?

I could go on and on, but that's plenty. :-)

Will the college all-star game make it back in. This was one of the best features in the game.

Good one!

I might broaden this to ask, "Will scouting reports be scheme specific to your franchise's offense and defense?"

LB's really make a difference in 3-4 versus 4-3, but then I thought I may as well throw the offense out there as well, to maybe include TE's in the spread, offenses that include Wildcat, etc.

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

1) Is Training Camp back in/if not is that something that is being worked on for a future madden?

2) What are the differences between online and offline franchise mode.

Re: Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

Superstar Mode:
Is there a new interface?
Will there be interviews?
Will there be commentary/presentation?
How is the progression?
Will there be cutscenes geared toward SS players?

[hoop xyience]

Will training camp make it back. And player moral, position battles also
