Unreal...................

- menu lagging wasn't fixed

- still no soundtrack reminiscent of the Madden's in the mid-late 2000's.

- announcers

The destruction of franchise mode is such a big one for me It has it's own list.

- Owner Mode should be much cooler!

- R1/RB to advance sections in franchise mode takes about 5 seconds each button press while NBA 2K or The Show (neither EA..hmmm) are boom boom. Yeah, i'm whining about a couple more seconds but menu's should be quick and easy. Selecting an option itself is worth a couple snaps now!

@eatdrums agree with you. franchise/dynasty/association mode is THE MOST IMPORTANT mode in a sports game IMO. Fans want to experience that aspect of sports through video games more than anything. (Or Superstar mode which was BADASS when it debuted but has - like everything else - regressed sadly)

@Dysantic they really do need a competitor because I actually disagree with you about "same," I think the game has managed to regress!
