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.

If this game turns out to be a flop for whatever reason, then Madden and EA will never get it right. I have a hard time believing that it could get any better than this.

1) I still believe we will be able to expand the free agency clock to allow for multi-user franchises, offline and online.

2) Probably can expect this info July 25 when the Online Communities feature is scheduled to be released. http://www.ea.com/madden-nfl/1/feature-playbook

This year, players are automatically placed on IR and that opens up a roster spot for the team to sign a replacement for him.

Love this

I glad to hear about Trading Draft picks
What about the limit on draft picks?
I hated that the limit was 10. It should be unlimited or at least 15. I am the type to trade down quickly if I feel my player is not there.

Last year, if you imported someone who in your mind was a sure top 5 pick, he could enter your franchise as an 85 or a 65 overall player. There was just too much randomness in the system.
Now he enters the game every time you import him between an 80-87 overall if he***8217;s one of the best players in the import class.

Awesome..

I said the other day as long as future draft picks and a fixed IR were in the game, I would get it. And so I shall.

THE ONLY THING that I was hoping to see that wasnt in there was the ability to edit and create coaches. BUT, that is minor compared to all the other additions.

Day one...fo sho. Going to reserve it this week.
