Madden: Editing Player Ratings in Franchise - Need Your Thoughts

[tqt08]

I've wanted the ability to edit player ratings during a franchise season for many years now. I've wasted countless days trying to perfect my NCAA draft classes but now I just don't have the time to do this. I'd love to have the ability to edit the incoming draft class.

Ian mentioned that he is working on giving us the ability to edit ratings. Was that for next years Madden???

Well since Ian is talking about doing this in Franchise Mode... this might be a new thing for Franchise Mode next year since they are working on fixing Franchise, I was hoping that they could give us the option to do it this year... but they have to sell Madden 12 and this might be the major change to Franchise Mode in M12.

Though, I would like Ian to at least give us a update to tell us if it's for Madden 11 or 12.

bingo, Ian please listen to this. This is absolutely 110% perfect way to implement potential.

I agree with this too.. I hope Ian really considers this for real.. Thats how potential should be evaluated.

But I agree with most people.. You should be able to do what you want with your offline franchise.. You should be able to mess with the attributes right before preseason starts.. It sucks when you start you franchise during the NFL season and there's players that come up out of no where but they wasn't any good at the start of the season and they turned out to be very good players and you can't do nothing with there attributes and there potential is C so there not going to make too much progress over there years. You hate to start you franchise all the way over especially when your like in year 3 or 4 already. So hopefully there is a change for this on 12..

I would love to see the ability to edit a player's age. I would be very happy to have a 25-27 year old Tom Brady with current ratings.

The thing about editing rosters is.....after the first season, your edits will be useless because the incoming rookies will be using the same formula that the game started with. So unless you are willing to edit rookies every year of your franchise, why even bother?
And why are people so hung up on adding sleeves or colored chinstraps when there are so many other areas to improve on?? I'd like to see things that affect the game. Like:
Better D-line/O-line interaction where its possible to step up in the pocket and not just anyone can be an offensive lineman.
D-backs not running the route before the WR does.
QBs missing a little more throws.
On a good note though. I really like the improved running game this year and it looks like things are going in the right direction. Thanks for coming by and getting our opinions Ian.
