From what I understood/read they've been working on this game for close to 2 years. But I might be wrong. Still, game is looking solid.

it all sounds nice but one of the "little things" this game is lacking is the chance to save in the middle of the game

I know it said we can control all 30 teams and we were able to do that last year my question on this subject is Can we sign Free Agents to their correct teams in Franchise this year? Last year you could make trades, release, and re-sign(Contract) players but you couldn't sign free agents to any other team but the one you are controlling. Just wondering if we are able to do all of that this year? Thanks

Also can we select uniforms for both teams in franchise or are we limited to just teh user controlled team?

Holy Goodness. God please let the supreme court overturn the nfl license so that we can have this in nfl2k11. besides that this is great. i have always been a big fan of 2k and now that VC have the baseball game to, its lights out for the competition. only this time sony cant buy the mlb license cause 2k have it.

When I say you have control over all 30 teams, you are making every decision for every team. That includes trading, player re-signing in the offseason, dealing with injuries, etc.

As for uniform selection in franchise, you can put either team in whatever uniform you want (including home uniforms when they are away and vice-versa).

Thanks SimBaller I appreciate it. One more thing I don't know if you can answer this but are retractable roofs in this year? Will we have the option to choose open or closed? also when you play in place like Houston,Arizona,and Milwaukee will teh roofs be closed depending on the weather? Thanks again
