Yep...by this time last year I knew I wasnt buying because they stated franchise mode hadnt really changed.

They said the PREVIOUS year that it was going to be changed last year, but it was just an empty promise.

This clearly is not an empty promise.

That's fine, but no need to cry over spilled milk.

The additions are a welcomed need, whether you are still harboring a grudge or not.

And Tom Brady was a backup before he was the franchise QB, guess his player role in Madden 12 should be backup

I'm VERY excited for this game with each little piece of what seems like great info coming out. I've been like this in the past but that was just because it was Madden, now i'm actually excited cause I originally planned to actually not get it but all this interesting info is winning me back.

At times he can certainly play as poorly as a 72 OVR player so I suppose 20 pts isn't too big of a stretch, but I think 15 is prbly closer to what it should be IMO.

20 points would be the max, not necessarily the standard, or so I hope.

Agreed Roadman. EA finally giving the fans what they asked for. It might not be totally here this year. But this is a start. I'm loving it right now and even more on Monday when the main blog comes out.

In big moments, he's more likely to cough up the rock. Sadly, that's his role right now on the Vikings. " This paragraph just sold the game to me. This is pretty huge.

Peterson had 1.. ONE... Uno fumble this past year. So this "gets in his head" and he starts fumbling like mad in the game? And Brady and the Pats? Counting the super bowl in 2007 they are 0-3 in the playoffs including 0-2 at home. I may be in the minority but I am always nervous when i hear that games add "Intangibles" and "streaks" they are very subjective. I am old school, let the stats speak for themselves
