Madden NFL 10 Blog: Franchise Mode Improvements

[PGaither84]

In regards to older players pulmitting, something prio versions did well was increase non-physical attribute to compensate for the agin physical ones. Speed, agility, acceleration, strength all go down but awareness, play recognition, tackle, THA, carry and other would go up if the player had a good year. For example, if michael vick had stayed in the league, his attriubtes wouldage, but if played well you could turn him into a pcket passer as he aged. A perfect example is Randell Cunningham. The same is true with HBs. Corry dillon got older and came off of an injury, however his best season came when he was about 30 and was a Patriot. A better team, a better coach, and how he matured to compensate for his loss of physical skills.

There is a saying I really like in regards to sports and football. "This is a young man's game and a verterans sport." Yung, fast, strong players stand out and old smart experianced veterans stick around and lead teams. those who can combine the young with the old excell like Arizona. Also, players who are Young, talented AND smart are the leagues all-stars such as Patrick Willis.
