What's funny is that this same thing caught me and I'm not that immersed in franchise, sometimes even skipping pre-season.

Sounds like EA went IN this year. I am thoroughly impressed. I usually play through a couple to 3 seasons in my franchise then that's it. Most times, I let the CPU handle all the decision making off season and I keep it moving but this is all intriguing. I cannot complain about the effort put in this year. I am just hoping that next year, we get a NEW animation engine, somewhat on par with Backbreaker like how NHL 11 is and what Elite 11 was attempting.

I'm really, really looking forward to this game.

What I actually think it is this year is EA got rid of the people who had the mindset, "the people dont know what they want! WE know what they want and thats what they are gonna get!" people and put in a staff that actually LISTENS to the boards and puts stuff in that matters. Not sayin it was ian at all but rather a littel higher than that. In any case it doesnt matter as long as it gets fixed and it looks like we are all gonna have some fun this year

I am going to say something I haven't said on this generation of consoles...

I am definitely buying Madden on release.

I'm going to assume this is the case, and hopefully it is, but I hope we're able to edit everything with players.

I know in NBA Live we were able to edit players but they had certain things locked so you couldn't edit them.

Madden is on its way back to a good time playing the game.
