I'm with you, but don't you think it would have just gone unnoticed if say Dewayne White became a coach? You'd notice a new name but most people would prob think it was made up, not an ex player. If you aint using the big names, you'd prob just leave that feature out.

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

LOL, I'm a persistent annoying little bastard.

My fear is that they have added nothing, and just fixed things that were broken last year while adding the highlight show to make it appear to be a whole new franchise mode. Essentially, it looks to be the exact same mode with a prettier interface and highlight show. The same mode I could only get through 4 seasons of in Madden 09 without getting bored.

I commend you for that bro. I never even got through 4 games of madden 09 franchise before I got bored with it!

Well when you control all teams like I do my franchise, thats covered. Run the one you want and let the others be.

If you note, I also said this:

I know it will be improved and I know with the work Looman did on Head Coach that there is a lot of potential...

I'm just saying, I want to see some information on the "engine" of Franchise, and less about the "new paint job"

seriously dude, 09 Franchise and gameplay(solo) pretty much put me to sleep.

[rckabillyRaider]

during the Extra Point recaps, is there at least audio with the host describing and breaking down the current screen you are looking at? Or does it just go silent and you just read the text on screen?

I understand that the highlights in non-played games would just be "made up" and probably see the same "highlights" doubled over the course of a few seasons, but i still think it would be better than a stat screen. Its not a game breaker by any means, just would of been a neat addition to the "immersion" factor of a season or franchise.

Oh well, this will all be for nothing if the gameplay doesnt show up this year, thats all i really care about. The rest is just icing on the game....
