Doubt it's in. I've been trying to find this out for awhile now. I PM'ed Donny and Josh and didn't get a reply about it from either. There has been several threads in the last month or two about people wanting this as well, but no word from the devs. Not so much as an acknowledgment that they know we want it, which would be fine by me if they did because then I'd at least know it would probably be in Madden 11.

There was one thing I loved from 2K was they had photos for rookies. Itll be boring having an entire team of blank people. Not a huge complaint and im very impressed and excited

Not the ones who buy the game, play a season, then let it collect dust for the next 3 years until they want a new one. If EA spent more time listening to the die-hards, and not throwing in cheesy crappy new game modes to try and attract borderline gamers, we'd have an awesome game buy now, and not so many hardcore Madden fans on the fence about buying it every year.

Man, I hate to break it to you like this buuuut.......the small # of Madden gamers on this site, in actuality ARE NOT the diehard dedicated Madden heads if ya really think about it.

If anything, folks such as you, me and many others on this site are actually the fairweather fans, sitting up here crying talking about you're not going to spend a measly 60 bucks because the players shoestrings dont come untied when they run.

The other couple of million folks buy this **** every year faithfully. Hell, them nuts even thought Madden 06 and 07 were great games. THEY are the diehards, not us. Well, I do consider myself diehard, but I didnt purchase 06 and 07, so I have a little bit of fairweather fan in me also.

Now as far as the topic to this thread, I think the additions are great, and with the 32 hand made draft classes AND the NCAA import classes, I'm seeing damn near endless entertainment on the way here soon.

Phil said he didnt join the team till mid cycle, he did fix some foundation problems. maybe next madden he will add alot of the things we asked about in the list. he just didnt have time this year with all the bug and logic fixes. thats why i said im not getting back into franchise till next year, im sure it will be much better. until then holla at me online.

A decent set of questions. I guess we will find out ourselves bout what offseason is about in madden when we get it in a few months. Thats for the answers

[cowboy_kmoney]

It sounds good Josh,But did you guys at least add to fran-mode when players win the superbowl will it say in there awards? Because all you see is how many probowls that person has,Why not add how many superbowl they have won while in our fran-mode.? This way it would help when we are lookin for real team leaders for our team. PLEASE ADD THIS TO FRAN-MODE.

I personally thought Madden 06 and 07 for old Xbox were great games. For 360...not so much haha.

All I really wanted from franchise mode is the logic (FA, Draft, CPU subs, RB splitting carries, fatigue.. etc) to be fixed and the presentation of games to feel authentic (especially playoffs and Super Bowl). If that's in, which they say it is, then I'm set really.

A better FA mode too, I was getting really tired of offering 50 people contracts and then rejecting JUST so the CPU will pay attention to them. Apparently the salary cap has been fixed (God, I hope) so we won't be seeing some outrageous releases. (Like Tom Brady, AD, Peyton Manning and having them rot in the pool for years)

With all that, I'm set.

I'd really like to know If Imported draft classes gets the same treatment as Josh's though. I don't mind using Josh's, but I can't avoid the realism from draft classes.
