Questions:

Do the team totals for rush and pass attempts look realistic?

Do the backup RBs get carries as a result of substitution (fatigue) and not injury?

Can you affect the above with the Coach Philosophy Run / Pass sliders or the RB1 / RB2 sliders?

Overall, looks like a slightly less broken sim engine...

I guess the sacks given up were a little high but you guys have been begging for less time in the pocket anyways

and I thought that for an online franchise you could use any amount of ppl and there would be 32 teams no matter what and the others would be cpu controlled? how come there is options for max users 2, 4, 6, 8, etc.

I remember it being said that you could be in an online franchise all by yourself

So basically if I understand this correctly, other than logic ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE TO FRANCHISE MODE?!?!? That's really dissapointing. After all the Head Coach hype franchise mode basics are identical to last year. Sad

Oh please, just stop. Tons of things have been added to Franchise mode, quit crying.

Like what Scott? If you played 09 everything post season is identical.

For one progression has been tweaked, draft classes have been tweaked, ratings, added The Extra Point, Super Bowl presentation.

[JAYMO76]

Scott, you have just proven my point. I stated that other than LOGIC nothing has been changed in the POST SEASON. Draft classes and ratings are logic. I admit the EXTRA POINT is a nice touch but that is not post season. I go back to my point, nothing post season franchise has changed.

I've been pretty excited by what I've seen from Madden this year, both on and off the field, but those sim stats really concern me. I'll definitley be watching to see how that shakes out come release time.
