I'm taking it as the guys you drafted or picked up as free agents, you sign them to your practice squad and can call them up anytime you need them. I can hoe cant I?

News is good lately, 2 more weeks until that big impact news hits and this sound like its heading into the right direction already.

how bout a bettter draft system like nba2k11's with custom draft classes

Sounds promising. What we really need is to change the position requirements for the final 53. OL, DL, DB, makes more sense than requiring a certain amount of tackles or a back up at both safety positions. At the very least we should be able to have a secondary position i.e. DE/OLB or H-back/TE/FB. This will enable your roster to be more realistic and flexible.

that's too long to watch for me. but if this is just their teaser info, then i am looking forward to learning of the other improvements. and the 75 man roster ...it's about damn time.

I think EA realizes where Madden is right now, and they pulled out the big budget to get it back to where its supposed to be. Hiring all those camera men and cinematographers couldn't have been chea either.

As long as they get madden up to par again idc how much they send, Franchise lookin good. I can't wait to see whats u with the inline cause madden usually has very playable servers

Just wish the ratings system would get an overhaul. There's been
many discussions about it as far as removing ratings all together etc...or making then not visa le except for 40 times, strength etc..
Something fresh is needed IMO. Despite having expanded rosters if Madden AI simply takes the highest rated players whats the benefit of training camp other than the ability to raise a players ratings etc...

I wish it was more 'what you showed' instead of what you're rated.
It's a start though.

My issues with franchise mode (next gen) was that I could go undefeated, not resign any high priced FA, pick the fastest players at each position (without scouting), skip straight to the regular season because pre season meant nothing...wash rince repeat. Franchise mode became little more than 18 games and a draft. These are steps in the right direction but i wish it would have come in M09 rather than M12.

Hopefully this means 8 men practice squad as well.
