minus Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Franchise Changes Free Agents choose team using many different factors including weather, stadium, money, location, team prestige, what stars are on the team, expected playing time, etc. Franchise Tags and Restricted Free Agents Preseason position battles, in which two players based on ratings battle for the starting spot during pre-season. Based on the stats of the pre season will determine who wins the starting spot. Regular season progressions this year, instead of waiting until the end of the season. Weekly gameplans where you will see your opponent strengths and weaknesses. Trading during the draft. 20,000 + newspaper articles from USA Today to track your franchise and others. There will be times when players get busted for drugs, and other such mishaps. The storyline goes much deeper this year. 20 Hours of Sports Talk Radio recorded with Tony Bruno in which there will be real callers, interviews with real NFL coaches and players. Player personalities have been added where players have moral ratings based on their involvement with the team. If a player isn't receiving the ball as much as he would like, you will hear about it. Ratings will go down if moral gets too low. Players want to play a certain amount of downs, based on age. You have the option to name your team captains. This will boost moral for the players, and possibly for the team if the players like the captains chosen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nc marlin Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I can't wait for it. uhoh watch out Ray Lewis. What's the injury going to be this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 All I can say is one thing: BENGALLLLLLLLLLLLLS! I can't wait! I just hope Marvin Lewis looks like Marvin Lewis, not just some guy. Next year's Madden needs authentic crowd seating so I can be in the game! Seriously, all the additions, PLUS all the stuff from last year, this game is going to be tight.

Buckeye Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 I also see no way in which those "drug stories" stay in the USA Today articles. The NFL won't let it because it tarnishes their image (even if it DOES happen in real life, it's still just a video game). They could find a clever way around it, but I don't know what.
