Yeah that is rough , I have seen that often so hopefully that can be fixed. I think even the blog shows 2 rookies with the same face!

I was really hoping this would be a ten minute video like the others... I want to see this stuff so badly. My interest level is so high that it makes working very difficult.

When this video was made I'm pretty sure we only had one portrait in game for testing and demonstration purposes. That was about two months ago. We have about 4 classes worth now.

The franchise hub screen is a little boring with just the tabs and nothing else. I wish it was like Head Coach 09, it was really engaging and aesthetically pleasing.

LETS SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS

# 13 TreyIM2 @ 05/16/11 10:48 PM

True to Sam Bradford - He looked like someone who stuck their mouth in the pie hole of a cardboard cutout. Lol...
Ahem, this is great news. I think I want to get deeper into my franchise, this year, for once. I miss the owner mode, tho...a lil bit....just a little bit....un poquito...

Head Coach 09 was pretty boring too. The backgrounds were nice, but that's about it.

I agree that Madden 12's tabs look boring, but I really like the team matchup graphic with the stadium behind it.

Ok, the part about preseason... Looman made it sound like another team might grab a player you cut, just like real life... Is that really going to occur? In the past the waiver wire was a complete joke, the only time the CPU would ever sign someone who was cut from another team was when they had to do an injury signing. Basically, once they had their roster set before the first pre season game, is what they stuck with even if there were better players available.

Am I the one only who thinks Q.Mikell is rated too high?
I watch alot of Eagles game(Dad is a big Philly fan). I dont he is a worth a 89 OVR A POT.Heshould be 82-85 Ovr B POT at the highest.

I think he gets the 89 due to his role as a leader for what is a very young and inexperienced defense. he probably has the skills of an 82-85 overall player (as he should) with a major boost due to awareness. However, I do agree that he should be B potential because as an every day eagles fan, what you see is definitely what you get from him. Sometimes thats good. Sometimes it makes you want to throw something.

Back on topic: Im glad that there will be more player portraits. But, since EA is really going all out with fan request for franchise mode, I think I should start a petition to bring back the old gen interface. The current hub bores me and it does the same for a few others i see. I was dying to see a 2011 version of the office and the newspaper.

Thanks for bringing back trading future draft picks, alot of this stuff they say are new was in the PS2/Xbox version back in the days.

# 19 bmj2k7 @ 05/17/11 12:39 AM

One thing i'm wondering is they talk about future darft picks, well what abiout the teams that next year have multiple picks in the first couple rounds like the Pats, or Browns, in the draft will they have those picks form the trades they made this draft?

# 20 PantherBeast_OS @ 05/17/11 01:03 PM

I got to thank the guys from EA for this video. I loved it and it was good. As a few guys have said the tab menu does look a little plain and simple. It really does need a little more work done to it to make it look more fun to use and play with. But it is still early and they could still be working on it. But overall franchise mode is looking awsome so far.
