I expect stuff like Create-a-fan to return before in game saves come... this is a game of football, not Civilization.

The 2 things I want to hear about is:
1. Is there still a limit on Draft Picks?
2. What changes have been made to Commentary?
NCAA & Madden has been tight-lipped about Commentary. All these improvements to Presentation would be soiled if commentary is the same.
Thats like improving everything about a car except the radio

If only this was done from the beginning...

Great to see it in there now. This is an instant purchase for me.

Never thought that not having in game saves would be a issue with some people. Each game takes about 45 min or less. If you got something to do just pause it and come back later.

I wish it had the spawn game feature back. This feature was basically so 2 people can play a franchise offline at the same time, by not having to wait for your friend to play his game then it would be your turn. Instead you would save the franchise to a memory card and load it to a different system. When the other player is done with the game you could then load it to the original console that the franchise is still saved on. Cut the time in half. Of course due to online gaming this feature is a thing of the past.

You're seriously complaining about little drills that would last just a few minutes even though they added TONS of other stuff to the franchise mode? Dude... come on.
