Nothing solid.

One person with inside info said they dont THINK it will be in.

One person with inside info said that they think you can edit ratings BEFORE franchise mode, but not IN franchise mode.

For the life of me I have never understood why EA takes the time to include things like the stadium "renovations" (you can never tell that anything was PHYSICALLY done in game, like making the stadium noticeably different) or being able to build a "new" generic stadium that is severely lacking in options and execution. Like has been stated, I am happy to see staples like the 32 team control and draft classes back, but c'mon man, don't act like you are doing it "for" the community.......these features were in Madden back in the 90's. They never should have been removed to begin with, so don't insult the communities intelligence by packaging them as "new". I have a lot of my hopes for this new Madden wrapped up solely in the gameplay of the revamped Infinity Engine. If they get this spot on this time it may make this version of Madden worth a purchase. I will still definitely take a wait and see approach though. I am a bit skeptical.......even this touted "new" Owner Mode they made a whole trailer for was done previously YEARS ago.

I predicted last year this would happen, its what EA do they recycle in 5 years builds removing everything again and re build and add everything as new, maybe they are the Cleveland Browns?? Owner mode is NOT new either it was around back in PS2 days.

nexy year they will say editing player position is a new feature etc. in 5 years time they will reset and re run the cycle again, it's a busniess they make the $$$ and thats what its all about

Transaction logs. Why wasnt that in last years game. Glad they put it in, or back in. I thought something like that was in m12. Is there also a log for retired players at the end of the year?
And imported draft classes back. Started playing nccaa 13 never played it before. So its gonne e interessting to see how that works.

Dont really care much for owner mode. Sounds like a really cool mode, and a lot od ppl will be happy with it. But iwould also want to be able to play the games.dont think thats posseble. Wish they would just ad this to the norman cc. Owner mode and still beong able to do everything we could in m13 progres players and play the games. Would be awesome.

Looking forward to m25. Still having a lot of fun with 13

ermahgerd!!!!! Look at all these additions that we've had before that were taken out and now are back in as new additions!!! Dreams do come true!!!


//ugh. On one hand, it makes me sick how they continually do this every 7-8 years. But on the other, I'm happy that the game looks like it's actually going to be fun this year. Last year was unbearably bad and bug-ridden. Here's to hoping that all these "new" additions actually work and aren't completely scripted, unlike last year.

One question that the article didn't say anything about-

Owner mode will basically be a normal franchise, wherein you still do all of the playing, practicing, signing, scouting, drafting, etc, but with all of the old retread features added in, correct?

Does anyone know if Imported draft classes will be on PAL copies of the game ?

I ask because NCAA Football isn't made for PAL consoles and importing draft classes wasn't in previous PAL versions when it was on NTSC copies, although if "Madden Share" is what everyone thinks it will be I don't see why they couldn't have the ability to import draft classes on PAL versions of Madden.
