That makes about 6 minutes for the WHOLE first round!! Where's the fun and realism in that??

The REALISM is in the fact that most people (me included) don't have the time or patience for each round to take 30+ freakin minutes!!!! OUCH

The best scenario for all is a setting to stretch out the CPU teams choices. I agree that it would be more immersive for some peeps, but we should have an option to control the time it takes.

Great info, thx for the preview.

For the last posts, I am very fine with 10-15 secs. for AI picks.

So with salary cap off, a person can create players and not worry about losing them to free agency because of running out of money? Sweet! I'm not saying that I'll have a murderous whip or anything (that would be no fun), but it cuts down limitations. In old Madden games, if you ran out of money and you turned salry cap off, you had to quit Franchise Mode.

The only miscommunication I can see is if when he says 'Within' Franchise Mode, he just means 'In' Franchise Mode. But when he says 'Within' Franchise Mode, it can lead people to believe that he is talking about after you already started your franchise.

I remember reading that too, that's why I was disappointed when I read here that you can't edit ratings in franchise mode.

How is one supposed to check his draft board and try to make a trade in 10-15 seconds? That's the problem with not having the option to slow down the draft.

Great info Steve! That's what I like about this site, when you need to find info on your favorite sport, this is THE SITE PERIOD! My question; can you roll over your 09 profiles? I'm trying to save some time because league play for me starts Aug 16! Outside of the graphics & presentation upgrades, the franchise foundation is the same as b4. Which is fine with me, because gameplay and on line franchise was my only concern. As long as the salary cap option is there, I'm good!

Those season stats seemed very realistic, that's a good sign.
