So in about 5 years the Raiders will start drafting better? Jk. I'm salivating at the chance to really get immersed into franchise again.

I can understand people's patience wearing thin, but Josh told the community FM wasn't going to be overhauled in one cycle or everything thrown in but the kitchen sink, he didn't even put a time frame on it. So, overall, I feel the overall majority like what is being added currently, and for those that patience wear thin, there's always the future like you said.

i will say this. i hope all these features works as advertised. Because it happened before that a game is full of "new inovate feature" but at the end of the day none worked correctly or worked at all.

Example, Player roles..
Injury prone and then he never get injured.
Salary cap with a lot of room to sign anyone..

you get my point.

Hope they tweak and tune all this correctly to really see the result of all these features.

Also let`s not forget that the In game game play and Sim stats match. Otherwise it will ruin the franchise before starting

I am hoping that you can edit everything including created or drafted players facial profiles, weight, height, build gear etc... that would remedy the issue.

Weather;
Why not just give the user the ability to choose the weather or use live weather mode like in single game mode.

I didn't buy madden last year but it's looking very promising... I want to hear more about half time show, end game shows, interviews, game recap, and weekly recap and match ups. Let go all the way EA after so long we deserve it.

Madden 12 is looking real good!
