This is big for me I only play Franchise mode. :(

You can scout and I believe draft. As Gee said you have to do it under Coaches Control or whatever it's called. It's not like the Franchise Mode you're used to. A lot of control was taken away in the coaches control mode. It probably has a lot to do with the Cards Oline, but it's damn near impossible to run in this game.

So can you play a franchise still? I have been trying to find a preview of the Franchise mode, but to no luck. Could you post up some screen shots or a video of the menues? I might just buy it anyways not sure yet. Just updated Madden 2012's roasters now was going to start creating players from the draft, just not sure if I am going to go through all that trouble.

What I do before I start a frachise is trade for some decent OL or pick some up some free agents before I start the frachise. On trick I learned you can also change a players postition to P then pick them up once your franchise starts at a very small salary. :)

I knew I should have never upgraded my Madden when the Cards were good. 2011 :(

This cool new player development system in Franchise mode... no more Potential rating. The player will get better depending on playing and development!

I ran well with the redskins on the demo and had about 85 yards last night with beanie. Running seems better than it was in the past for sure.

Havent gotten to franchise, waiting for roster updates.

This coach mode is driving me crazy. You can't tell who you should cut or leave on the team. It has James ranked higher than Everyone except Wells. Wtf

Ok found maybe a glitch if you are doing the practice task for the week you can see the true rating of the player. Then you can keep track and cut the right guys.

Winning Friends and Influencing the People in My H
Got this game and I have been playing my brother online. He's the only person I've played online and in 5 games we have been disconnected 5 times.

I get the message cannot connect to network server, he gets some message about excessive grieving or something like that.

It's pretty irritating. I'd like to think I don't have any connection issues as I can play COD without any lag or problems.

No true franchise mode means no purchase for me. First time ever.

I played it off a rental, liked the mechanics, made a QB for the cards and won a couple of games. But meh, overall.

There is if you play Coach mode. But it is very hard to work through the screen.

so in career I am on preseason and I sim preseason and play myself in the season. I simmed one game and it took me forever to find the player stats from the game but I also noticed Skelton played the entire preseason game?

Also - the career roster has fleming and more, everyone yet the play now roster is missing many players I want to play with including fleming.

Annoying.

Coach mode is not playing the game. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy coach mode. I also enjoy My Player modes.

But what I love is both playing as and managing the cardinals as a franchise. It's the reason I buy the game.

Must be a "2013" thing. DCR is probably getting rid of FIFA 2013 shortly because it sucks, and that just came out.

this game sucks. Last year I'll buy it unless they drastically change it

Same here. Every year I play it less and less. And now my sons and I can't play the franchise mode together like we usually do.

I do a lot of Madden and NCAA Football tips on my Youtube channel. I also have a couple videos going over the cover voting.

Here's a pretty cool play from the New Orleans playbook that is very good against man or zone defense. Let me know what you think or leave a comment! If you like what you see, please subscribe!

I can't post links but my YT channel is themaddenlab
