[brza37]

EA has put out a press release giving more information about Browns RB Peyton Hillis' victory in the Madden NFL Cover Tournament and more detail about new features in Madden NFL 12.

Quote:

"Peyton Hillis, running back for the Cleveland Browns, was selected by millions of fans across the country to grace the cover of Madden NFL 12. Hillis, a No. 10 seed, defeated former Madden NFL 04 cover athlete and No. 3 seed Michael Vick (QB, Eagles) in the finals of an unprecedented campaign with ESPN.com and SportsNation that allowed fans to determine, by an online vote that was open to the public, the player to be featured on the cover of Madden NFL 12 when the game launches on August 30. • Franchise mode includes more than 100 new features and enhancements, including expanded rosters, an all-new rookie scouting system, a free-agent bidding system, and more. • In Superstar mode, fans can now control the growth of their superstar with an all-new progression system that allows you to earn skill points by participating in practice and games. More details on Franchise and Superstar modes will be released on May 16."

Franchise sounds like it will be just like HC09. That would be amazing, and Dynamic Player Performance has me really excited.

Its good to see expanded rosters. It would of been funny (but good), if they said working IR as anew feature. Dynamic Player Performance sounds interesting as well. I cant wait to hear more about this

Expanded rosters has to mean 80 man rosters cut down to 53 before the season starts. Atleast I think thats what it means, I hope thats what it means.

That would be amazing.

As long as IR is fixed, I'm good. They can classify it as a new feature all they want to as long as it works I won't complain. lol

Yeah that's how I took it as well. If they fixed IR specifically, it would have been easy and short to say "IR roster impact" or something like that, but given how they worded it, I assume it's the 80 to 53 cuts.
