Actually, it's not that new. Developers from VC/2K would frequent an old 2K Football site, and they would take feedback from the posters there. Many of the suggestions were implemented in NFL 2k4 and 2k5.

By different era, I meant a different "breed" if you will, of players.

The old-school players of back in the day were more prone to go into coaching. The greats of today won't be going into coaching at the same rate because of money and time. I think the trend for today's athlete will be for broadcasting more than coaching in retirement years.

Thats what I think too, on the money side.....If your saying some of the current coaches were great in their times, it may be true...thats a matter of opinion.
But what is true, is that they are prolly making more money coaching than they ever did playing, and that just wont hold true for todays stars.

What was wrong with and what ever happened to "Importing Draft Classes from the (same year's) NCAA Football title"?

...AND, before I spend $500.00 of labored wages on purchasing a personal XBox 360 or PS3, can someone who knows P L E A S E answer my "deal/investment-breaker" question:

Will Madden 10 provide the custom options of Create a Coach, Create a Customized Playbook (including Created Plays - Offensive & Defensive) that can be utilized in multiple Game Modes?????!

...and yeah, it is that important to many Madden gamers who play Franchise, Tournament, and Head-to-Head Competitions - wherein our diverse strategies, philosophies and FOOTBALL KNOWLEDGE can be implemented & executed!

...can we finally controll our own team's X's and O's like we could way back in Madden 2004? ...when all of the above was possible on a PS2 (less advanced technology)...!

You can import draft classes, you cannot create a coach, cannot create a playbook.

There must be a distinction between franchise and owner b/c i havent seen any news on how you will actually RUN the team...ticket prices, food, upgrades to stadium, etc...

Importing draft classes - In.

Create a coach - Out

Create a play/playbook - Out

Your last question - I don't think it's going to be as in depth as you like.

I would love a port of Madden 2004 with updated rosters and the spawn game feature fully functioning...slap 2010 on the cover and I'd be more than happy!
