What in the blue hell happened to the franchise mode on Madden 08?

I buy the game today and go to see how EA has done the franchise mode this year, and I see there basically isn’t one. All you do is manage your roster and go through the season, there’s no upgrading the stadium, setting prices, or anything that remotely resembled the past addictive franchise modes. I also hate how they’ver revamped the list of players. It is so much more complicated to do anything on franchise in 08 than there ever was in 07. Your thoughts?

I have the game and swear you can do all of those things. At the beggining of the season, you can’t do any of that. After the season, go to the stadium page of the off-season menu. There is where you can do all of your upgrading, firing coaches, move cities etc. You can still do it, you just have to play a season first.

    What? I haven’t bought it yet and the franchise is the best part about it! I was hoping they’d add to it, like retiring numbers and stuff. I swear every year EA makes changes that suck instead of making it cooler.
