Re: So no mini drills or training

thats exactly why i wont be playing offline franchise this year. why in the world would you take out training? that was my favorite thing to do in the off season the last time i played franchise which was in 2005. hopefully they add training next year.

Re: So no mini drills or training

I knew madden would find a way to piss me off...if this feature ss really gone..All I want to know is..How many drinks did it take to make this seem like a good idea?

Is there any type of training camp or mini camp during franchise?- No

Well, that sucks. I like to develop young players before they start.

Wow... just wow. So no preseason progression, no mid season progression, and you can't train players!... of course just when I was geared towards buying Madden they take out one of my favorite things to do in franchise.

I'd put my money on it returning in Madden 11 as a new franchise feature... I guess I'm 100% now going to rent Madden 10 and see how to progress a 3rd string player, if it's impossible without starting him and giving him monster stats then I'm going to have to wait till 11. Pretty dissapointed about this one.

Wow. That's kind of a bummer. Hopefully now preseason means more for rookies and lesser known players. But monthly progression would mean quicker returns on the time spent with playing time. Not sure why it was taken out tho.

Re: So no mini drills or training

wow this blows. I was just about to start a thread about this asking if they would bring back the last gen mini-camp drills (except for the qb ones). This.... is very disappointing and Josh had better come up with a damn good explanation as to why this is so.

Re: So no mini drills or training

let's face it folks, Madden 09's training system sucked anyways. Am I really supposed to play a mini game with 3 players each week and have that be my training ground? It was more than stupid.

Now I'm not saying HC09's practice mode suggestions were perfect, but it was WAY better than Madden's training mini games... I'm glad it's gone.

Hopefully something replaces it that is much better.

I agree but I love progressing young rookies... if it's replaced with a better "practice" system then I'm all for it. But if there's nothing then how am I supposed to progress rookies without starting them and making them top 10 stat producers.

Re: So no mini drills or training

This. Will rookies progress on the bench?

Like, say I draft a player in round 7 with a 49 overall but his potential is 91. No way in heck is he going to see the field until he's at least in the 70s. If he doesn't get any stats, how is he going to progress to the point where he'd at least be competent enough to get playing time?

Since his potential is sky high, will he just go up +10 even if he sits on the bench all year?

Re: So no mini drills or training

I really don't care bout the mini drills and all that. I play the game and thorw the rookie in when am ready for him to play. No big deal.

I completely agree, I hated doing those stupid mini games, they made no sense to me. To me it was a unnecessary thing to do before every game because one you couldn't sim them and two your players did not progress unless you did them. Sorry but when I buy madden I want to play football not do a damn bench press mini game, I go to the gym for that.

I don't think we should have been able to train if the CPU can't. It just created an unfair advantage for us over the CPU.
