Franchise Mode
1. Do teams have specific identities in player personnel philosophy (draft and sign certain types of players that fit their schemes)?
ie. Raiders valuing speed above everything, Steelers go after 3-4 personnel and not just the top rated DE regardless of prototypical 3-4 DE size/strength

2. What is the news hub for franchise like? ie Stories similar to NCAA 11, Website like 2k, or Newspaper articles or radio like Madden last gen?

3. Are there updates about the college season/draft class info like in NFL HC 09?

4. Will the potential bar in rookie scouting be hidden this year?

5. How will rookie scouting be handled this year? And will the info gathered during scouting be available somewhere during the Draft?

6. Will the draft be an event or just text based with no news except the picks that have been made?

7. Is the Draft Pick Value Chart incorporated in draft pick trade logic?

8. Will it be possible to trade future draft picks? How many years into the future can draft picks be traded?

9. Will there be a Senior Bowl and/or Scouting Combine?

10. What are the factors for progression? Will coaches have a role in offseason progression? Will users be able to influence the progression by planning training or something like that?

11. Do players have cumulative fatigue over the course of a year ala HC 09?

12. Are playbooks, playcalling and personnel tendencies attached to coaches instead of teams so if Reid leaves the Eagles and they sign a run first guy as a replacement then the Eagles playbook, playcalling and personnel philosophies will also change?

13. Will the commentary stop talking about events that happened in the NFL in 2010 like it was last season even though its year 10 of my franchise? ie. No matter what year of franchise it is Collinsworth always talked about the trade of McNabb from the Eagles and Kolb stepping into the starting role.

14. Will we have any tools/sliders to be able to tune sim stats the way we want them to be?

15. Will player personalities effect franchise mode again? If we put a player on the trade block will there be some repercussions if we don't trade him ie refusal to resign etc?

16. Will low rated backup players stop asking for huge contracts to resign?

17. Will coaches progress RPG-style like in HC 09? Will they have more effect on players than they had in M11?

I could go on and on... Have a million questions and can't wait to see whats new for M12 franchise.
