Other features of players were always editable. I remember changing the equipment for every player in franchise just so they could have what they wear on sundays. So i'd think it's still in, just with ratings added. I hope the ability to edit ratings and traits in online franchise is locked though, or only limited to the commish. Gonna have to see how that goes, if it's available.

Fair enough...names/height/weight included? That will be awesome if it's true

I don't think the Height and weight were editable, but I'm not sure. At a point in time, Im certain at least the weight was, but as for last year, I don't know, I stopped playing around the end of August.

With the dynamic player performance and the dynamic gameplans, any chance we'll see quarterbacks, or other positions for that matter, get benched for poor performance?

I think I already know the answer, but this is something I've been hoping for for years.

Nothing really new there, just another targeted outreach to the franchise fan base.

That is a good question, but I think it would happen over time unless the guy doesn't have a "QB of the future" or "Franchise QB" role.

Say Alex Smith struggles right out of the gate this year in Madden, regardless of the cold streaks. If he goes on two 3-week cold streaks, or is just wildly inconsistent, will the 49ers be able to recognize that, bench him, go with the "QB of the future" in Colin Kaepernick, and cut their losses in the offseason and move on (as mentioned by the improved "Cut Dead Weight logic" and revamped team re-sign) and if so, AT WHAT POINT?

Or, if a guy like Jay Cutler continues to struggle and loses his "Franchise QB" role in Chicago after a year or two. Will the Bears possibly bench Cutler after a while and see what they have in Caleb Hanie, try to ship Cutler out-of-town, and possibly draft a QB if they realize Hanie isn't the answer? Will they sign a "mentor-type" stop-gap QB to compete and eventually mentor if they feel they have a diamond-in-the-rough with Hanie?

Also, if Cutler IS traded to say, the Raiders, can his play allow him to regain the Franchise QB role?
