Speaking of NFL Head Coach 09, you can import plays from that game into Madden NFL 09.

From the OS Madden preview we got this nugget of info...

We'll have to wait a tad longer for more info on specifics of the franchise mode. I honestly hope we just get a bug free franchise mode to be honest.

I would imagine that you really won't know much about franchise mode until a few of us get the game and sim through seasons.

One feature that I miss from Legacy Gen and that I'm hoping they put back into this year's version, is the ability to change owners in the offseason. I know it's a small thing, but I really like having this option so that once I build one team into a New England type powerhouse, I become owner of a bottom of the barrel team and try and build them up.

This way I am able to have the current roster of whichever year the franchise is in, and then bring some players from my old team over to the new one (just like Parcells has done in Miami).

I also hope they add back in the Training Camp feature before the season. I still like how you can train your players year round throughout the season, but I'd like the additional training camp before Pre-Season as well from Legacy Gen.

I think they also need to tweak or add new drills you do for a specific attribute with the training during the season. For example in Madden 08, I want to increase my kicker's power and they have me doing bench press. Last time I checked he was kicking the ball through the uprights, not punching it.
