They built the new franchise mode from the ground up right? So none of those issues with the old franchise mode should make it into the new franchise like IR not working, ridiculous FA salaries, etc..

 Re: Madden NFL 12: The Basics - IGN (new information)
 
 There is a laundry list of things that needed to be fixed/changed this year. The ability to change teams is huge for franchise players and most of the bigger issues I had seemed to be addressed with this article.Switching Teams in Franchise mode is back. That is awsome news to us people who love building a team up and then moving on to another team and doing the same thing. You really have to love the Madden Crew for all the hard work they put into this year Madden. I give them a hand. Comment

 I cant stand that squished names. Minor yes but it kills the presentation aspect at times.This all sounds exciting. Franchise mode has always been my favorite offline mode. My ONE and only thing that I think they still haven't tweaked (and this is so minor, I'd be surpised if I was the only one who cared about this) The names on the back of the jerseys when they are longer. Just saw a clip of Rashard Mendenhall in the Gameplay Virtual Playbook video, and his name is all scrunched up. Doesn't look realistic and I wish it was something the guys at EA could address. Anyone else ever notice that?Comment

 With the editing of rookies you can fix the short, medium, and long accuracy of the QB's that come from NCAA Football draft classes.
 
 Most of you know that QB's in the NCAA Football game dont have the same attribute ratings as Madden.
 
 Worrying about imported QB's not being able to compete are over.PSN: buckeye02Comment

 Re: Madden NFL 12 - Switch Teams in Offseason, Scouting Reworked, Free Agent Bidding
 
 eh, probably not. Everyone's draft classes from NCAA Football will be different. Some players might stay in college while other come out early.PSN: buckeye02Comment

 Re: Madden NFL 12: The Basics - IGN (new information)
 
 You can already do this on Madden 11 by controlling all 32 teams and then setting the other 31 teams you aren't controlling to CPU in the franchise options. Make sure you back out of franchise options, switch teams, then go into franchise options again. If you switch teams inside the franchise options it won't apply the changes. And you'll have to sign coaches for the CPU teams because if you let it simulate the coaching changes for teams with empty positions it will also change your staff, even if you don't have empty positions. Then after that you have to scan each team's CPU/USER settings (remember to back out and switch teams) because some of them get screwed up after you sign their coaches.Switching Teams in Franchise mode is back. That is awsome news to us people who love building a team up and then moving on to another team and doing the same thing. You really have to love the Madden Crew for all the hard work they put into this year Madden. I give them a hand. 
 
 They just need the simple Madden 2003 version though. You could switch to teams who fired their coach.Comment

 It also says the IR has been fixed. So now when you put someone on IR, it clears an extra roster spot. Im guessing thats the fix, because it gave you the money back properly.PSN: buckeye02Comment

 Re: Madden NFL 12 - Switch Teams in Offseason, Scouting Reworked, Free Agent Bidding
 
 not to ruin your dreams but I have a feeling this only means we can edit any player's rating during the season but not in the draft process. If we could edit the draft classes before the draft we would know all of the prospects' ratings and it would kill the meaning of scouting.
 
 I believe we can edit those rookies only after they have been drafted and signed. However I hope we can edit at least the appearance and skin tones before the draft.Comment

 Re: Madden NFL 12 - Switch Teams in Offseason, Scouting Reworked, Free Agent Bidding
 
 This I what interests me in this game. I just hope we can get some solid gameplay along with these improvements. If so, Il be kumping back on the madden wagon again this year.. 
 IGN has just released quite a few more Madden NFL 12 details, including the ability to change teams in the offseason, tiered scouting system, an eBay style bidding system for free agents and more.  Comment

 Re: Madden NFL 12 - Switch Teams in Offseason, Scouting Reworked, Free Agent Bidding
 
 I don't think you get the money (cap space) back. That's not the way it works in the NFL, and I don't think it worked that way in Madden 11. Though I sort of remember it working that way a long time ago, whatever the year was that had Culpepper on the cover.Comment
