Agreed.

Whether I purchase the game or not depends pretty much soley on how much better OFFLINE chise is.

Not that I dont want to see great gameplay and presentation improvements, but franchise is the only thing that can not only make me buy Madden, but to continue wanting to play it.

If franchise still stinks, it will just be another year of no Madden and me cursing EA.

I Hear that.

If the NFL has a lockout franchise is gonna needa be good to keep gamers attention.

Online thrives off updated rosters and injuries, if all that is gone it could get repetitive, very quickly.

Yes I agree, OFFLINE Franchise needs to be worked on. They have catered to the online folks long enough. They need to realize that some people only go online to get the latest roster, sign off and head into OFFLINE Franchise Mode.

Though this teaser video, I'm not expecting much as I'll wait and see what they do with Franchise Mode, rent the game when it comes out and see if Franchise Mode was actually fixed before I decide to buy it.

I'm hoping EA Tiburon fixes the gameplay (physics/animations) and makes it fun. I always turn on Madden and within five minutes it's off again because it plays nothing like real football and is boring to me. Tumbleweed tackles, bad o-line and d-line play, running and passing the ball is boring and doesn't respect physics, and all of the other things people are saying. When I play APF 2K8 or NFL 2K5 it's fun to convert every down, and running and passing is great. It's also fun to play defense because I actually feel like I can affect the outcome of a play at any given time. Madden I never get that sense. In Madden I also want to see players playing like they do in real life. I wanna see Derek Anderson severely under/over throw Larry Fitzgerald deep and have him adjust to it and make a sick, realistic looking catch while Nnamdi Asomugha covers him perfectly, plowing Larry over in a way that respects real life physics (Not Madden physics haha) and forcing the fumble. And I want it to look different every time it happens. Okay, now I'm just getting into wishful thinking. Point is, if I don't see serious improvement this year there's no way I'm buying NCAA or Madden. Thanks for reading this whole babbling message haha.

I think it will be news that Madden will be out this year and annonce the finalists for the cover. Maybe a few replay clips of the cover athletes. My basis is off the twitter comment from EA saying big news monday both reassuring and inolving the fans

Not expecting a lot, just a taste for us to speculate over for a bit, this is NCAA's time to start blowing out media and PR.

I'm guessing that the video will include the ESPN Presentation.
They have done it with NCAA and NBA Elite so I think it's time for Madden to use the ESPN presentation IMHO
