Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.

I just hope a couple of these FA bums they've signed will have decent ratings in Madden 12. Same goes for Beck.

Why did they draft all those RBs and WRs in the draft again? Looks like they should've targeted some OL and maybe [gasp] a QB!?

Can't confirm this so don't read into it too much, but I think Beck's rating will be around a 67 in this year's Madden. Enjoy.

That's why Rexy will be my starter

Haha werd. I'm excited to see the changes they've made to franchise mode, although I'm not happy they weren't able to implement a rookie scale. It'll be interesting to see if in franchise mode it's not about putting the top rated player on the field anymore.

well, back when they still had a pc version (08?) you could cut all your draft picks (not sign them) and then get them the first day of FA at stupid stupid low prices (like 70% off), or switch their position and then sign them long term before switching them back... Madden is full of cheese.

I never took advantage of that, although I used to take advantage every year of turning the trade deadline off and then trading my picks for a horrible teams' picks at the end of the year so I could draft whoever I wanted.

Yeah that was the last year for good PC sports games. EA still has FIFA, but past '09 they have it in the Xbox configuration, which is hard to master on a pc. I missed being the Skins in franchise mode and actually winning multiple superbowls with my cpu generated draft picks.

Beck may not even start. If he does, I have to defer to the "savoir faire" (there ya go smooty :cheeky-sm) of the Shanny's. Jury is still out on this whole QB thing.
