    Can we spectate games in offline franchise (CPU vs. CPU) and can created players carry over into offline franchise? Is it possible to customise ratings?

    I have no idea about CPU vs CPU.

    As far as I know, created players and customized rating carry over to the league files.

    Thanks for the answer, Shaun. Hopefully they allow you to spectate the games. I'm a nerd for that sort of thing.

    Not sure if you came over from OS, but I saw Corey Andress say he is planning to follow up on that question. You can get him on Twitter @coreysa.

    So I know you mentioned somewhere Shaun that no draft board was in the plans , but seeing as how fantasy draft was not in launch versions but they made a patch could they possible reconsider this if there was enough clamoring for it ?


    Also , any chance to levy cap penalties by commish ? I noticed they said if somebody trashes a team a commish can fix some of the cap issue , does that go both ways ? ( e.g. punish Keller for tanking with a cap hit )

    Yeah, Corey is looking into it. I just didn't know if you looked into it as well. Thanks for letting me know that created players and ratings carry over to the league files. That in itself answered a lot.

    I hope there is no "clamoring" this year. No to giving penalties, though I could do that by forcing him to sign someone then cut them.

    Shaun Mason - did we finally get rid of the "press A for gameflow press X for play calling screen" after every damn play? Holy hell that shit is old.

    Use reply douche. That said, I don't recall that screen in the gameplay build.

    Does the preseason schedule change year to year? Last year, Season 1's schedule was correct and then from that point on it was the same four games every year following.

    Great read, looks like I'll be picking up Madden for the first time since 2010.

    Are the stadium upgrades actually noticeable in-game? And do you remember any of the other cities you can move to (Not too important just curious if you remember anymore off the top of your head)?

    Will new coaches be brought into the "pool"? If you decide to fire your coach, or he retires, how does one go about replacing him? I saw you have the ability to bring Jimmy Johnson back into the fold, just wondering how the "coaching carousel" works.

    Will Tony Bruno's radio show be entirely scripted or actually comment on in game events?

    Any word on if they added the ability to re-negotiate contracts?

    One of the best things here is the simplest: A League Transactions tab. :)

    Well, I may actually buy Madden this year the whole Nike and NFL involvement on relocated teams put me over the top. Almost want to see what I can do with the teams. The Jets are leaving NYC (they don't need two teams anyways).

    No, you cannot renegotiate contracts.

    There is a pool of coaches in the off season. Some are existing, some are new, occasionally there are legends. You basically have bidding like free agency for a few weeks.

    Upgrades are levels, usually of things you can't see from the field anyway (bathrooms, parking, etc.)

    As for cities, I can't remember ALL of them, but I remember:

    Columbus
    Los Angles
    Toronto
    Orlando
    Dublin
    London
    Austin
    Houston
    Memphis
    Brooklyn
    Houston

    I'm sure I'm missing some. I know I tried Toronto and Columbus. I even remember some of the team names for Columbus.:)

    From what I gather, this will be extremely difficult. They have a great stadium, which plays a big role in being allowed to move.
