Does "changing teams" imply that you have a chance to be canned??? Or just change when it suits? Either way, one of many great items for 12...

I fully expect (and hope and pray lol) that ALL features for offline franchise will be in ONLINE FRANCHISE

in fact there really should ONLY be 1 mode....Franchise

if u wanna use the online functionality, so be it. if not, fine as well.

but this must be ONLINE

so please tell us that these features are for ONLINE FRANCHISE too

Here's hoping we get realistic ht/wt/40 times for respective positions. Too many 5'11 DT's and too many Offensive Guards that run 4.6 40's. Granted, there are always exceptions i.e. Dwight Freeney running a 4.4 but, Madden's draft classes have always been full of what in real life would be anomalies. I would also like to see positions like DE/OLB, FB/TE/H-Back, etc.

How cool would it be to see imported rookies from NCAA and have their real stats. Maybe an icon showing which awards they won in college...ie Heisman Trophy icon by the players head.

The two things I really need to know are...

1) Can you trade future draft picks yet?

and

2) Does the IR work properly?

If both are yes, I will preordering Madden ASAP.

They have already said repairs to the IR have been made. Wheather it works properly or not is yet to be seen.

Contrarily, I think the biggest gameplay improvement has been released. I think Dynamic Player Ratings is the big ticket...and they'll find ways to expand on that come E3. I don't think they're holding out on another dramatic gameplay improvement -- they tend to lead with those kind of features from what I've seen the last few years.
