I thought it was okay but could have been implemented better. I hated having guys like Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders ending up being head coaches a decade into franchise mode when neither of them would ever even go into coaching in the NFL.

The BOLD are Ian's answers

@ian_cummings Is there a half-time or post-game show? There are rampant rumors saying there is, but I haven't seen that mentioned anywhere15 minutes ago from Tweetie in reply to ian_cummings

@thmst30 both have a recap of stats, video highlights with banners, and some commentary along with different cut scenes.13 minutes ago from TwitterFon in reply to thmst30

@raczilla Is it a show format or a list of highlights like we already had in 09? Meaning, will somebody actually be breaking it down for us
@thmst30 and different stuff in franchise including scores around the league and special post game celebrations based on the week

That I'm pretty sure was in 08 and 09 too... I def had a couple of ex players that weren't current coaches appear in there. they'd always have +7s to players in their old positions.

I felt like an idiot for asking this a while back, but I'm with you - Until it's confirmed, anything is possible (CPU sliders missing from 09.) If we're not allowed to control every team, like in the past, I won't even rent the game.

I'd love for this to be confirmed, once and for all.

Not having a go, just always entertains me how some funny little unimportant feature that rarly gets attention when you have it can get peoples rocks off!!!

I tend to agree with you, but you can't really list hand warmers and towels in a statement poking fun at other people for getting excited over a "funny little unimportant feature." HOF does for franchise presentation what things like hand towels do for in game presentation. To each his own.

It was, however, already in the game.

THE ONLY NEW THING IS THE FRIGGIN LAYOUT


XTRA POINT MY ***, THEY PRETTY MUCH TOOK "LEAGUE NEWS" AND PUT IT IN THERE. NONE OF IT IS INNOVATIVE OR NEW.

I just want the ability to switch teams in Franchise mode half way through a franchise

I'm really looking forward to seeing halftime and post game shows. But IMO, it's important to have highlights in the weekly wrap-up because only showing some stats is pretty boring to watch.
