I'd have 2 plays instead of my team's playbook? My franchise would get deleted? I'd have to pick a different team?

Exactly my thoughts, I love the idea of a playbook stemming from what I'm good/bad at executing...but your exactly right in saying what happens if you don't pass training camp. This is Madden not the NFL (no matter how many friendly debates we may have and what you may think TNT ) I shouldn't be banned from playing my franchise or forced to pick a new team because of this feature.

I wouldn't tack this on to another mode... I'd propose this to be a standalone mode for people who wanted to prefect the techniques they need in a game as an alternative to the current practice mode that assumes players already have the skills to execute the play.

If a player doesn't pass the first stage of training camp, the coach doesn't install another play and they get to keep working to perform the play according to a standard NOT SET by the user. If a user passes, he gets to decide what play the coach installs next.

In essence, the coach says: "Run it til you run it right!"

I like this idea, a stand alone mode would be good...that way those who want to perfect their stick skills can do so, and those who really don't have the time to do so can skip it without penalty.

I'd love to see it put in to Madden. Granted, this mode wouldn't be all that effective until the on-the-field gameplay and physics are fixed. Hard to teach football technique and execution correctly (with the proper rewards) when the players aren't even playing and reacting like humans.

Gotta disagree... I've been taking this same approach independent of the absence of a training camp mode since Madden '03. Every year I start anew with the 5-step drop throwing basic routes until I can throw them with my eyes closed (literally) and only move to a new technique once the one I've just installed is perfected.

I just wish I didn't have to improvise a training camp...

My opinion is Madden 12 is the best of all so far EA has done so much damage after this game came out I don't see how people can still play 13,25,15 or 16 they all played like noodles
