Your impression may well be that M12's franchise mode was a better one, but under the hood it was not. M13 runs on a unified asset manager that can be easily manipulated by the designers. It has a very powerful test bed.

Adem, I have no problem with M13 being combined modes. I hated, and still do, the unrealistic direction M13 went in. M12 may have been "bad under the hood", but it's direction was more realistic even if M12 was implemented poorly. If you are looking for realism, M13 just went into a bad direction. Opposite of realistic. That's my main problem with CCM/CFM. Compared to NBA2K, CCM/CFM is fisher price franchise.
