Got Madden 12 Franchise Mode/Superstar Mode Questions?

[khadeemw]

Will there a better performance based progreesion for the franchise mode?
Also, Will rookies have a more realistice balance in their ratings and potential.
For Example, will a DE with 93 strength have a 62 block shedding rating, or will a WR have a 97 agility, but a 74 elusiveness

[kiddstyle]

Are there mid-game saves in franchise mode?

[j_robin86]

In francise mode will they have the top ten plays after every week during the seasons and will they have real stuff in game play like jerseys coming untucked???

What advancements have been made to Franchise mode? That is, the past several years Madden has sought to make improvements to Franchise through improved draft, progression, etc. but has anything been done to take Franchise to the next level beyond its current format?

How many players can you carry on your roster?

Do they have realistic roster cut-down dates and cut-down limits? Example:

Aug. 31 -- Roster cutdown to maximum of 75 players

Sept. 4 -- Roster cutdown to maximum of 53 players

Is there a practice squad? If yes, can you sign players off of other teams practice squads to your active roster?

Have you implemented the PUP lists? If yes, if a player begins training camp on the PUP list, can they be moved to the active roster at any time? If a player starts the regular season on the PUP do you have 6 weeks to keep him there and then 3 weeks to put him on the active roster?

Can there be AI teams in online franchise like NCAA's online dynasty?

Will the 3-4 and 4-3 be properly integrated into Franchise where defensive formation matters, rather than only determining playbook use? That is, will the style of defense have an impact on drafted players, player progression, etc.? Further, will player size/attributes better affect position changes so that a 230 lb 84 OVR OLB in the 3-4 doesn't become a 99 OVR DE in the 4-3, who would be run over in the NFL?

[Step2001]

Has the "Wear & Tear" Injury System been installed into Madden 12?

Will injuries now carry over into the following Season?

I.R. is it fixed? Is the P.U.P. list in the game?

Will Injuries linger thoughout a players career? Achilles, knees, Shoulder, Back, Concussions, (think NFLHC09)
-------------------

75 man off-season rosters!!!

Will rookies be signed before or during Pre-season?

Practice Sqauds, are they in?

53 man roster or is it still a 55 man roster (after final cut down)?

Will we have to set a 45 man Gameday roster?

Will the 3rd QB be the 46th man (emergency QB) to be available (dressed on gameday)?
-----------------------

Full Coaching Staffs? Coordinators and Positions Coaches. Head coach, OC, DC, QBC, RBC, WR/TEC, OLC,DLC, LBC, DBC, STC! Add the ability to tab one of your coaches on your staff as an asst. head coach.

Can I promote a coach without having to fire and then re-hire that coach?

Winning team, playoffs, Super Bowl. Will other teams come after my Coordinators?

Can I re-sign a coach during the Season?
-----------------------

Along with the Franchise tag. Has Restricted Free Agents and Exclusive Free Agents been added to the game?
-----------------------

Signing Free Agents.

If a Free Agent is asking for $320k, will the HUM controlled team be able to sign that player for that price? Or is that asking price just for the CPU?

During the season, street Free Agents, are they still asking for big time bucks? In real, there just looking for an opportunity and will sign for the minimum.
----------------------

Do we now have the ability to hire and fire scouts?
---------

Medical team? Is there info more available and there suggestions on recovery? Info you weigh as to whether you shut a player down for weeks or the year.
-----------------------

Player Attitudes? Are they in the game?

Player Holdouts?

Agents? Are they in the game?

Players Info, is it more indepth
-----------------------

Has the NFL Draft been expanded? Presentation? Trades?

Trading Future Draft Choices! Draft choices in 2012 & 2013? (so on & so on)

Updated Draft choices for each team? New England owns the Saints 1st and Raiders 2nd rd picks. The Browns own the Falcons 1st and 4th rd picks in the 2012 draft. etc This was in HC09!

Is there a Undrafted Free Agent signing period that follows the draft?
-----------------------

The overall that players come in with as a drafted player. Has that been toned down?

How much will coaching and playing time factor into whether a player increases, stays the same, or decreses?
-------------------

Commentary during the season Improved?

Does it build upon every week?

Starting in Pre-season. Mentioning the starters won't see allot of playing time. When I remove my starter, talk about the backup.

Just so much.....

Will injuries be talked about as how it effects the game as Gus and Cris get going on there opening chatter? Stuff like that....

Win Streaks? "Have the dubious honor of wrapping up the #1 overall selelction in next Aprils draft"

If Homefield has been wrapped up. Maybe some chat about or pointing out that the starters most likely won't see allot of playing time

During the season "if" your Coordinators are considered top candidates for any possible Head Coaching jobs. Let's hear the commentators talk about that.
---------------------------
A.I. Pre-season has it been fixed or adjusted since roster have expanded?

The first game the starters should be played a series. The 3rd and 4th string QB's get the 2nd half. The CPU does not do this.
The second game the starters maybe go a quarter.
The third game the starters usually play the first half and the first series in the 3rd qrt.
The fourth game. Now the first cut down has come and gone and you are now down to 70 or 75 players. Teams usually don't play there starters at all in this game. So the back-ups take center stage.
---------------------------

Pre-Season kickoff game at Fawcett Stadium? Right there on the grounds of the National Football League Hall Of Fame.

For that reason, I don't even draft DE's anymore.. Just a bunch of linebackers lol
