There is no "owner" mode. You get "franchise mode." There, you play owner/GM/Coach. The owner section lets you dabble with some of the pricing, stadium upgrades, etc. But you can ignore this entirely, and it really isn't going to affect your game.

Kind of disappointed. I have to say after I read the termites comment I pretty much lost hope for anything that will make this a 12 month game for me. I agree with the poster who said that its irritating to have a former player automatically become a head coach.

In real life there is a usually a progression, position coach, coordinator, head coach but since Madden doesn't have position coaches that's impossible. No future draft picks. No word on restricted free agency.

Progression and AI tweaks seem promising but these are the type of additions that can go horribly awry if they're not implemented correctly which makes me skeptical.

I usually buy NCAA to generate draft classes and then hit the store for midnight madden but this year I think I'm skipping NCAA completely and renting Madden for as much as I played 09 it'd be more economical.

The madden 09 draft sucked really bad. every single QB was picked before the 3rd round and it didn't matter how good they were. their were no steals. the only players who were worth anything deep in the draft were Offensive guards and Tightends.

NCAA 10 is pretty screwed up, in terms of rosters. At least, for now. I'm not sure what you were expecting for Madden 10, but to bring up things like position coaches? With what you seem to be expecting, I would just not worry about Madden until 2020.

as long as the cpu logic is good (and that goes for free agency, trades, and the draft) - then i will be pleased with the franchise. In madden 09 i couldnt go for more than 5 years in a franchise...this year i might just go the whole 30 years.

btw its good to be back

Will offensive linemen have more impact in the draft because most of the time the first offensive lineman wont come off the board until the 3rd round unless you make a beast in NCAA 09 and export him over to madden. They probably have fixed this because of the recent trends of lineman going very high in the first round. (Joe Thomas, Jake Long, D'Brickshaw Ferguson, Jason Smith, Orlando Pace, Ryan Clady, etc.) This would add a great level of realism to the game.
