21 fumbles in 61 games(not including playoff games), Adrian Peterson is very much deserving of the role "fumble prone." Regardless of how many he's lost, or how it has affected his team, the man has fumbled the ball, a lot.

That fact won't make one iota of difference in the quality of this game. Regardless of how long it took, it looks like EA is finally delivering; can't people enjoy a football video game's improvements for once and avoid this line of thinking?

I'm extremely pleased with the new additions. I was just thinking a few weeks ago about how they should change rookie progression, because some players (like LaGarrette Blount), start out not expected to do well, yet progress a ton during the season and do really well. I think the dynamic player ratings/player roles mimics football much closer than the previous, stagnant rating system, as it will create a much more dynamic atmosphere where certain players can suddenly become studs.

CHooe, people are frustrated bro. Some folks been waiting 7 years for player roles to return. Some folks been waiting 7 years for EA to finally deliver. They're tired of hype, broken promises, that 'wait till next year' feeling. You are an optimist bro, and hopefully you can rub off on the masses of frustrated people. But you gotta see why our fellow Madden gamers are a little frustrated....

I tend to look at the glass half full too. I just don't understand it, though. Last year, Madden told everyone a few days before E3 not much was added to franchise mode and that next year FM would be improved. So, last year, there should have been low expectations regarding FM and having frustrations are alright.

However, with noticeable improvements with FM this year, why continue to look back instead of looking forward to the changes being made.

All I'm saying, regarding FM, is that I totally agree with the frustrations of FM from last year to LG, but this year should be something to look forward to. Give criticisms when they are due, but also give props when props are due as well.

(I won't give props until the game is delivered and in my hands, but I'm not looking back either until the game is delivered)

I think he sees it. The problem is that the "it's taken so long" line of thinking is one that is inherently negative. These features come back and it's "Well, finally...! smh" ...if they don't, it's "Come on, it's been 7 years! smh" No developer can win against that line of thinking.

Should these have been in the next-gen Madden games by now? Yes. Does the fact that they weren't discredit the fact that they're in now? No.

I am not the only one saying this.

The fact is IT TOOK THEM 7 YEARS TO BRING BACK LAST GEN Features.

If YOU(Chooe) where happy with the franchies mode this gen, then good for you.

But I am thinking they could do better.
