Madden NFL 12 Blog - Franchise Mode in Madden 12

[KOV]

Ok, let me be the wet blanket. Just want to ensure that everyone knows to expect patches and tuner sets over time with this. Just throwing that out there.

I'm pretty sure they scrapped the entire Extra Point show because they said couldn't do it right, so that more than likely answers all your questions.

I haven't read through all of this, but is it 100% confirmed that player traits will be available outside of Superstar Mode?

It wasn't mentioned in this blog, but it was in the Superstar blog, so I just want to make sure it's not just for when you create your own player to use in Superstar mode

Holy ****. That looks AMAZING.

One thing I do wonder though. Is the draft logic when assessing draft pick value updated? For example, if I want to make a big move up in the draft ala the Falcons moving up from 27 to 6 to draft Julio Jones, can I expect to mortgage my immediate future to make the move, or is it as simple as swapping first rounders and adding a 3rd and 5th, or even a 2nd?
