In this sneak peak video of madden 10, the lead designer of franchise mode talks about what he has changed in the franchise mode in madden 10.  The video itself isn’t all that revealing, although it does give you a look into madden 10 gameplay.   Just listen to what the guy in the background is saying.  He talks about the improvements they made to the franchise mode like improved draft logic, and more realistic weather conditions.  I can’t tell you how many times my computer generated draft boards in my personal franchise would have 3 fullbackers a kicker and a left outside linebacker as the players I needed to draft in the first round, even though I didnt’t have a decent wide receiver or defensive tackle.  It is the little things that make or break games.  The madden 10 development team seem to have caught on.

Some other things I noticed in the video:

• The jaguars uniforms are sick.  If they weren’t already my favorite team, I would play with them just to use those jerseys and helmets
• Man to man defense is greatly improved.
• The pocket is well formed and gives you time to get a pass off while staying in the pocket.

Madden 10 Online Franchise Mode

Madden 09 came out with the revolutionary idea of online leagues.  However, with so many problems in it and lack of basic features, like multi-player trades, it quickly became irrelevant.  I truly believe that they should have improved the leagues and single season online modes before they tried to jump into online franchises.  Nevertheless, part of me is excited because franchise mode has always been my favorite part of the game.  It just became too easy playing against the computer for 16 games and making whatever trades you wanted to simply because you could.  Now you will be able to take it to the next level and play your friends online.

Pretty much every true NFL fan thinks that if they were the general manager of their favorite team, they would be winning the Superbowl every year.  The online franchise mode allows you to have the power to build and maintain your team.  You can build your team the way you want to via  trades, free agent signings, the draft, and lots of other new features.
