since they said there will be 100 or so new features in franchise and so far everything they have mentioned was in HC09, I would assume that they would implement the team philosophies from HC09. Which is that every team can set their preferences for types of players at each position

which will really make franchise better because when you change the type of player you like the overall ratings for the players change according to that. So teams with a 3-4 will draft only players that fit their system. and teams like the raiders will have speed for most of their positions so you wont see them draft someone with low speed

LOL at Prime Time calling the Cleveland Browns garbage!

But on topic. I do like were Franchise is headed.

Fingers are crossed this year for Franchise Mode!

I do have two main concerns this year (and I think I'm in the minority):

Here's hoping the developer-created rookies' potentials (or names) are somewhat randomized this year. I hate knowing who the good players are before I even scout them! Make me invest precious scouting points (or whatever they refer to it as) to find the gems in the draft. Also, randomizing potentials will keep both online and offline franchise modes from becoming stale.

Also, I hope they make drafting great players much more challenging this year. There were way too many A-potential players in Madden 11 (seemed even easier than '10 to draft A's in every round).

I haven't been a franchise guy since the ps2 days, and i used to love it, mainly because i loved the gamelay.

I'm hoping madden 12 can bring that back! Offseason was always the best part. Glad to hear its gettin the proper treatment now

So true. If I lost in the playoffs I did not even really care just because doing all the offseason stuff used to be so fun.

Yup, EA felt that 18% drop in sales. 75 man expanded rosters !

Man this is just getting better and better. Franchise blog is coming out in about 2 weeks from now. These minor details are just getting me more and more excited for the franchise blog on May 16th. Can't hardly wait!!!

[Lodeus]

Glad franchise mode got a lot of attention. Cant wait!

This all sounds fantastic. The only thing I'm concerned about is if expanded rosters means fake players.

Yeah, I agree. I'm an offseason nut. This all sounds great. I'm really looking forward to all of this. I'm trying not to hype this up too much in my head.
