Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Franchise Mode in Madden 12

what can i say -- my patience has run out waiting for this game to catch up over the last 5 or 6 years. some are acting as though this is the first or second year on this gen when in reality they've had plenty of time to get this sort of thing properly addressed. i do appreciate that they've finally started to try and make a game again. but i cannot forget the years that they've phoned it in.

i have been known to be hard on this franchise. so in that light, i will not give them full credit until they complete a full game. i'd like to think that viewpoints such as mine have helped get this series going in the right direction. but in reality, it's because they've been getting sorely shown up by other players in the sports market. either way, i will eventually benefit.

I can understand people's patience wearing thin, but Josh told the community FM wasn't going to be overhauled in one cycle or everything thrown in but the kitchen sink, he didn't even put a time frame on it. So, overall, I feel the overall majority like what is being added currently, and for those that patience wear thin, there's always the future like you said.

i will say this. i hope all these features works as advertised. Because it happened before that a game is full of "new inovate feature" but at the end of the day none worked correctly or worked at all.

Example, Player roles..
Injury prone and then he never get injured.
Salary cap with a lot of room to sign anyone..

you get my point.

Hope they tweak and tune all this correctly to really see the result of all these features.

Also let`s not forget that the In game game play and Sim stats match. Otherwise it will ruin the franchise before starting

i agree 100%. I love the randomized names for the rookies. I only hope they have it tuned properly. I don't want to see Jamaal Shebazz as a white kid from Iowa. Hopefully the names are realistic with the player. Otherwise I am stoked.

I am hoping that you can edit everything including created or drafted players facial profiles, weight, height, build gear etc... that would remedy the issue.

Weather;
Why not just give the user the ability to choose the weather or use live weather mode like in single game mode.

I didn't buy madden last year but it's looking very promising... I want to hear more about half time show, end game shows, interviews, game recap, and weekly recap and match ups. Let go all the way EA after so long we deserve it.

Madden 12 is looking real good!

You know what? This really sucks. I am not happy at all. I was expecting this sooner. come on EA. I can't believe EA has the audacity to make us wait till August 30th to play this awesome franchise mode.

No No No No! Please take as MUCH time as you want EA... LOTS and lots of Beta testing... (something you did not do at all it seems with the last couple releases) We want all these nice shiny new features to work properly!

According to adem the video is from an earlier build and now they have four draft classes worth of pics.

Alright, cool, I'd have to expect they try to generate more to have at least 10 classes worth, to prevent people with the same picture on a team as much as possible.

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Franchise Mode in Madden 12

Everything looks great but I have one question. Now that dynamic player performance has been added will players who are on a cold streak or having a bad game be pulled from a game and have a back up fill in? Also if a player is on a hot streak will he move up and get a chance to start? Be cool to see a young player take over for a struggling veteran mid season and tear it up. I did noticed that position battles was not listed, I'm hoping that dynamic player performance will factor in to who starts.

Good question. Say for instance, the QB has a cold streak and his rating drops 10 points to a 70 overall and the back up is a 75. Will the CPU pull the starter and put in the back up?

Also, do you think there will be a mass rating editor? For example, can you can raise all player's speed by 5 points or 10%, something like that?

Re: Madden NFL 12 Blog - Franchise Mode in Madden 12

Player Progression!!!! If I draft a QB and sit him for 3 yrs, how does he progress under the new rules?

Back-up OL (especially young players) how do they progress if they don't play?

Practice Squads didn't make it in? Not complaining, just asking to clarify!!!

Undrafted Free Agent Period after the Draft?

I hope that it's not that touchy. The vast majority of teams will at least give their starter a couple of games to work things out, and apparently the "cold streaks" only last a few weeks. I'd love to see teams switch starters occasionally, but it shouldn't be that frequent.

Well, I know what you mean. But I hope if a QB is throwing 3-4 picks a few games in a row, I hope they pull him you know.

i agree with you I just think it would be cool to see a starter get yanked mid way through the game if he is just having a terrible game.
