Its not about them not telling us enough. In fact, I think they told us just about everything, and while chise should be improved. I think its pretty obvious its not as in depth as many hoped it would be.

This year was to clean it up and they did that so i wasn't expecting tons of new stuff. Like he said would you rather have them add new stuff ontop of the old problems or go back and fix the old problems then only have to worry about to New features.

If you can't see Peyton Manning being a coach one day than I've got some beachfront property in Arizona to sell you.

No chance he becomes a coach. Why would a man that has made over $200-300 million go into coaching?

Superstars of today have no need to do anything after playing.

Obviously pure speculation, but HC '09 had 39 players who could potentially become coaches in a 15-year career mode and none seemed like much of a stretch to me. Among those were non-superstars who would make quite a bit of sense including Charlie Batch, Bobby Engram, and Hollis Thomas. There was a good balance of guys: smart vets like the above group, pro bowlers who I could see as coaches like Jeremiah Trotter or Jeff Saturday, and a few HOF-caliber guys like Ray Lewis and Michael Strahan. While most coaches are guys who never played in the NFL, there is still a balance of players who had a wide variety of career experiences that have made their mark in the league as position coaches or higher: in recent decades, we've seen guys ranging from backups like Jason Garrett, Gary Kubiak and Tony Dungy to HOF-caliber guys like Fred Biletnikoff, James Lofton and Mike Singletary. If Madden can come closer to HC, than I think it'll be reasonable on this front.

I give EA a ton of credit for the improvements the have made to franchise....but it doesnt mean its going to be where it needs to be. Franchise mode IMO is what gives the game so much replayability. Based on what I know along with what else I see wrong with the game, I just dont think its worth 60 bones.

Exactly why I'm disappointed. Clearly anything that wasn't talked about got little to no attention, and he didn't want to have any "No" answers. Which makes no sense, because in the Online blog there WERE some answers that basically said "no"
