i will play it for maybe a little over 6 months and get 5 years deep and make sure i get the Draft classes set perfectly and making sure certain players make it in round 1 so it seems realistic

Hopefully I'll be able to do what I've wanted to do for the last several years, but was never able to do,because Madden and NCAA were crap, which is buy NCAA on release, play 4 seasons with a school and see how many guys a can get drafted, and also see how they do once they're in the league. Hek, if NCAA and Madden don't rip the rug out from under us, again, I'll probably keep NCAA 12 and see if I can create my own football factory.

I'll probably play seasons simultaneously. That way the rookies that come into Madden will be fresh in my memory on what they accomplished.

Yea I'm not going to get to hung up on it because their are so many other positives.

Yea when someone offered me a trade one of the first things they would ask is whats so an so potential. If you didn't tell them then they weren't going to discuss trades with you because of the fear of trading for an F or D potential player. I just want to be able to pay for making a bad trade because knowing a guys potential will cause me to never make a bad trade.

Are you talking about in M12 they won't be visible unless you control all 32 teams?

Oh forget it. I know what you meant now. In M11 they weren't visible unless you were controlling all the teams. I forgot about that since I didn't buy Madden this year. Just used to people always asking what someones potential was before making a trade in M10.
Then I take back my comment.

Yeah Im all for Franchise presentation. I mean if im in the Draft give me a Radio City Music Hall Background. If im at practice let my squad practice in shorts and no full gear ( Its already in other modes Ive seen it.lol) Same with everything else. If im signing or cutting a player why not have the coachs office background or the owners suite or whatever. When im chekcing out my lineup maybe a locker room shot. Anything to immerse me into the world of Football that i dont get to see myself.

Is it wrong that this blog gave me boner??? What...too soon?

All seriousness though, great blog, great work Im am going to have a real hard time putting this down, I believe this has just become a pre-order midnighter for me.

And I thought my 21st birthday was taking too long!!! AuG 30 seems a millennium away

If you have 1 user controlled team in M11 you couldnt see other teams players potential. I imagine it would be the same in M12.
