Would be nice if we could start off a franchise mode in April before the draft. I think it'd be great to re-do the draft as YOU see fit, especially in online franchise. Feel like this wouldn't take much effort on the part of Looman and the team, but it would be a real nice touch.

this was in Head Coach 09 and it indeed was a nice touch, pretty much everything in that game was perfect except that i want to play the game.. thats where madden needs to come in and hopefully it does in M11

I would love this but I would actually prefer that it started in march with free agency or maybe even earlier with coach signings.

Completely agree. I'd like to take it a step further, and have the ability to start Franchise at ANY point in the NFL history, even year 1.

LOL. So can I take Curly Lambeau with the #1 overall pick?

If you want! I think there would be two modes, one where you redefine history, and another where you relive it via the drafts / acquisitions, and the only thing you can change is the outcome of the games themselves. It's my dream mode (that and coupled with a story based franchise).

The problem I have with this is you would be essentially starting the franchise in year two not year one, because by the time Madden ships its preseason and the draft and free agency have already happened. By going through the draft again you would have double the number of rookies for that season, which would be a little odd.

If you wanted to start in the offseason you can simply simulate the first year, which would you give you same effect.
