    Re: Madden NFL 12 - Switch Teams in Offseason, Scouting Reworked, Free Agent Bidding

    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..

      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.

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?
        I cant stand that squished names. Minor yes but it kills the presentation aspect at times.

          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.

              Exactly.
              Andrew Luck will have a proper rating
              I cant wait to edit most of the rookie ratings
              Will there be a type of draft class share.

                eh, probably not. Everyone's draft classes from NCAA Football will be different. Some players might stay in college while other come out early.

                  I cant wait to see how the Scouting System is fixed.
                  I hope potential is hidden this year. It was easy to build a good team because CPU wouldnt.

                      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.

                      They just need the simple Madden 2003 version though. You could switch to teams who fired their coach.

                          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.

                            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.

                              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..

                                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.
