Franchise mode?

[puremvp1]

Perhaps i'm blind, but I havent read anything on this mode.


Is it simply the same as last years? which wouldnt be all that bad if they fixed the free agent glitch....which I havent heard anything on that either.

I believe Knight said it's basically the same, nothing major was done to franchise, there was talk that franchise will get some love next year

I read somewhere that they have made better trade logic, but thats all I have heard.

Yes.....it's the same as '10.
Kolbe and Jeff are looking at the 2013(14) FA problem....and I think as long as "fixing" it doesn't wreak havoc elsewhere, it will get fixed.They think they've pegged what it is.
Odds when I left 50/50...maybe 60/40. I only give it those odds because of time. Yes....this is something that should have been taken care of earlier...but for whatever reason didn't get attention until pressed. We'll just have to deal with that and hope they can get it fixed.
The trade logic. Once I mentioned it to Kolbe....he immediately saw that the # of trades per month was off. Too many early...and not enough in July. He gave me a good indication that this would get done. I also suggested ramping up the difficulty and he thinks he could get that in.

I will say this.....I truly think that Kolbe wants to rip the guts out of the franchise mode...especially the front office stuff and re-do it entirely. Whether they can do that or not remains to be seen, but I'm confident in saying that franchise will get attention for '12.

I like the idea of making the trade logic more difficult....I think it would be great if they put that in and it was one of those things where you knew if you had to make a trade, you were going to have to give up something to get something.

One thing right off the bat.
With the ability to now swap out players off the base set....if you really put in just a few A potential players.....the CPU to CPU trading will be much more difficult...even if it remains the same as '10. In '10 the CPU was willing to dump any age/salary player for an A....if he had anyone on the roster that could be within reason of filling that age/salary players slot.

Are we able to do uneven trades for example 2 players for 1 and 3 team trades?

You could do uneven trades in '10.
No 3 team trades though.
