Madden NFL 12 Franchise Mode Details, More Coming Monday (IGN)

I personally thought that Any Given Sunday was an excellent movie.

To go further into what I was saying:

I understand Brady has had some clutch playoff moments...but his stats are actually worse than the regular season.

Reg Season:
Qb rating: 95. Completion: 64% Yards/game: 240.
TD%: 5.5% INT%: 2.2%

Playoffs:
QB Rating: 86. Completion: 62% Yards/game: 232
TD%: 4.4% INT%: 2.3%

He gets worse in every category. Hopefully his playoff performer role doesn't mean it gives him attribute boosts in a playoff game. Hopefully it just affects his confidence and consistency, making him less likely to have severe rating fluctuations since he doesn't get "rattled" by big pressure situations. Otherwise it's basically just recreating the "robo qb" thing where all of a sudden a QB becomes unstoppable for no reason.

Those Playoff stats are still pretty good.

I'm no expert of course, but someone told me playoff teams play better defense.

There's a slight chance competition might be stiffer in the playoffs.

Not impressed, but very glad that they are bringing back the aspects of franchise that made it appealing and enticing.

I'm not putting down his playoff stats, I'm just showing that he doesn't become more accurate. My question is about how the playoff performer role is represented in the game. I'm hoping "playoff performer" doesn't mean something like +5 to accuracy +10 to awareness.

I haven't bought the last 3 Madden's, but this info has me leaning toward purchasing it this year. We'll see if the rest of the info can make it a must buy.

Not to be an alarmist, but a few things:

1) Why would someone sign a FB to a 3 year contract at 39 years old?
2) Why is Cle. bidding on Rogers when they just cut him?
3) Why is Cle. bidding on a starting caliber LT that is 10 years older than Joe Thomas? To play RT, maybe but I doubt the AI is keen enough to do that.

Not a big deal, just a few things I noticed.

I like the 75 player limit though.
