Madden NFL 12 Blog - Franchise Mode in Madden 12

I'm not sure if this has been raised already or not, but there may be an issue with the DPP. They said that ratings will change depending on how a players performance is compared to other players in the same age bracket, which is fine. However, I play slightly shorter games and at the end of a season my linebacker tackles are nowhere near the top of the league.

Does this mean my linebackers will start to regress when they are being compared to other, say 27 year old linebackers? And the same usually goes for my O-line and pancake blocking. It doesn't necessarily mean these guys are playing bad, it just means they don't have the time to rack up the stats

That's a great point. I'm in the same boat, where my players aren't really around the same stats as the rest of the league. I know I can boost my game time to achieve "sim" stats, but I really just do not want to. Either that, or I'll do so and simply super sim more.

There is only one thing I want to see in the Madden Franchise Mode. I have never seen it done effectively.

I want to see every graduating player that I import from my NCAA Dynasty show up in my draft class. I'm sick of playing my Dynasty, building up players, and then not having the option to draft them. I don't care if their rating would be a 40 overall, I should atleast have the option.

If any of my players show as going pro or graduating at the end of my Dynasty season, please give me the option of drafting them in Madden. I would hope this would happen now that they are discussing expanded rosters.

Please, PLEASE, give me this.

Oh yeah, and if I could play online Madden without it lagging so hard it's unplayable, that'd be cool too

Not every player goes to the NFL though. If your top rated RB didn't show up that would be one thing, but I'm not sure its reasonable for your 5th string TE who never took a snap to be listed along with hundreds of other scrubs.

I agree. But there has to be a halfway somewhere. Especially since the game doesn't have AA schools. I'm tired of drafting in the 7th round and only have FB, P, and K left.

In any case, there should be some code where, if the person is atleast a 70 in NCAA, they should port over to Madden

It would be awesomeness on top of the already announced awesomeness if they could somehow make the simming time synch with whatever you choose to play your games.

In other words, if you play 8min qtrs and 15sec runoff, the simming of all other games in the franchise would sim at that same rate...boom, comparable stats!

i can dream!!!
