Re: Was/has there been any franchise info released?

Alright guys I will give you what the CFM info will probably be.

1. We are talking about practice.
Practice mode has been redone. Instead of putting your whole team through practice where everyone gains XP you now choose X number of drills to run and the guys you run it with receive XP and maybe even a xp bonus for that week's game. They will try to sell it as "working and developing specific players." Basically check out 2k's development drills.

2. Presentation that makes Madden more immersive than it ever has been.
Vague comments about situational commentary that adds to the experience. The blog will say something like "commentators remember what happened last week" and that will translate in game to something like "They threw for over 300 yards last week." Whereas last year it would say that and then an awkward pause would follow, now Phil Sims will say "they hope to keep that up this week" and then the awkward pause will follow. Blog will also mention new cameras and all that and how it adds to the experience of playing on the road.

3. Generic comments about improved player management and logic.Instead of teams keeping 4 80+ RBs on the roster there will now be numerous 80+ RB free agents while a few teams will trot out a 72ovr rookie.

4. Improved draft classes. They have tuned the ratings where instead of seeing corners with 72 agility and 88 strength it will now be 72 agility and 64 strength but 88 break tackle. And look for more realistic names such as Joe Fontana and Bulldozer McGee.

5. We've added advanced stat tracking! You asked for it, we give it to you. Now you can look and see who lead the NFL in jersey sales in previous seasons!

Make sure to preorder Madden right now.
