Because role is a poor word choice when it really means "characteristic."

Yeah, but let the ratings do the work... undoubtedly, if they mark somebody as fumble prone, he will fumble every time he touches the damn ball. Injury prone guys will be hurt every time they get on the field.

Apparently on the official Madden Forums there is a rumor going on that some game developers were in a conversation on xbox.com forums and said that there is a ESPN pre/post game show in Franchise mode now.

I hope this is true, but kinda doubt it. Then again they haven't told us that much about Presentation besides player intros and stat overlays.

Its kinda nice to hear about other games needing to emulate Madden for a change. In regards to the NHL series. Hopefully it brings about some nastalgia and I can get lost in franchise mode again for hours on end.

I can 99.99999% guarantee that is false, but if I am wrong I will eat all the crow I deserve.

...or there's a chance that the developers aren't idiots and actually tested these roles to make sure that's not the case.
