I don't think any effort as far as DEVELOPING....writing this section of the game actually happened until this year. I just think they have the opinion that developing this mode was important to further the brand....and the time was right. Hopefully we see some crossover from this and custom online league into franchise mode. M.K. Knight165

No we have been working on this mode for about 4 cycles now. We wanted to release it last year, but it just wasn't ready. There was a ton of code already written for DD last year. The idea and concept just wasn't all there yet.

You know, I kind of wish they'd use a layer-design tool like this to allow you to design what the numbers look like on jerseys. Most people might just opt to go with pre-made number options, but I'm sure plenty of people are like me and would appreciate being able to handcraft the ten different digits to really customize the jerseys more fully.

Limited choices with number designs has always been one of the stifling things about create-a-team features in sports games. And it seems like such a minor thing (because everybody's more focused on logo and color choices), but it's one of those things that can really make a difference.

As it is now, when anyone shows me their custom team from some football game or something, there's always that part of the brain that goes, "Oh, I see you went with the Denver Broncos numbers." Or, "Ah, the Philadelphia Eagles numbers. Okay, okay."

In real life or in a game, whenever you see a uniform that has their own design for their jersey numbers, it always makes them kind of stand out. The Denver Broncos, the Milwaukee Brewers, the original Diamondbacks, the Hawaii football team (with unique shapes, but also those little triangular notches accenting a lot of the numbers).

I wonder if it'll ever be possible to let the gamer create those ten number designs (in addition to the various other logos) for created teams.

Maybe not a create mode but I believe a direct quote from Ramone was that the Vita version prevented them from doing Franchise overhaul/rewrite and Realistic/3D Grass this year. That in my mind means that they were discussing it and it is in their plans but due to the Vita, they can't do it. The Vita version is built and will merely get "updated" in the same manner that the PS3 version is now (note I'm not saying the new games are mere updates but they use the same base code), so it would lead me to believe that next year would be the year of Franchise updates.

No one should assume any mode is going to get "said" overhaul or re-vamp. We haven't even began to brain storm for 13 yet.

I don't know. It sounds like you already decided on a title for 2013's game. Clearly you've done a little brain storming.

Yup you can change anything but their height, position, secondary position, and aptitude (potential). However some cards give you the ability to pick the players position.
