The passing cone wasn't gimmicky, it was one of the most innovative things they've the ever done to the series.

If coverage assignments is anything but matching up defenders and receivers I won't only be disappointed I'll feel mislead

I have to laugh, because this is what I said in a post a couple of hours ago.

Quote:

If Coverage Assignments ends up working in concert with "Best on Best" then people will love it, or at worse be indifferent to it. If Best on Best is not in the game, then people are more likely to rip the feature apart, not because it's bad per se, but for a having a name that "tricked" them into thinking it was something else.

I am right there with you. No franchise upgrades means a no buy from me. I bought the game each of the last two years, but I might have to go back to the every three or four years thing again.

So does everybody believe no upgrades to franchise mode?

i dont think so, they know they must have some type of blog to show they did something to the mode.my prediction :

1- almost half of the "improvements" will be to UI changes.

2-based on the wording , they seemed to add some features to the app. I predict sign fa, send and accept trades, spend xp , maybe resign players.Basically bring back functions we had with CFM Website. Maybe a surprise outside of this.

3- A couple of minor things added, like new drills in game prep, or a new "big decision" , new info on ticker maybe,oh yeah and "fix regression" for the 3rd or 4th year in a row that still wont be done well.

Outside of that , ill be surprised of much more .Mostly fluff to take up blog space to make it look more in depth in changes than really will be there. Alot will be UI changes.
