Not an online player....I hear you though. But for offline...I am loving this.

Expanded rosters and new tackling system and so on. It is really sounding good for madden this year. I'm just looking forward to the franchise blog coming up in mid may. Can't wait to see the info.

Maybe on top of pre season rosters expanded, we could also get practice squads?

I'm liking all this info!

May not be that bad depending on how this "new online community" feature works out. If we are some how able to build sim communities that have some kind of member invite/password and/or multiple commissioner controlled system similar to online franchise, online custom playbooks could workout nicely, IMO.

Matter of fact, I think all start a thread about how online communities might work. Maybe some people have played other games with something similar already.

Man I am ready for some football!

This is awesome.

Assuming this plays out as well as it sounds, I would like to thank Ian, I would imagine a lot of this has a lot to do with his input. I know people dogged him a lot but to me he seemed to always want to go towards the direction we here want.

I don't mean to just single him out because I know there are many involved, but I have no doubt he influenced this in a way.


I hope this turns out as good as it sounds...

Amen. U would think they would have been more merciful a lot sooner with all the money we wasted on half developed games.
