      I love it! THIS is the kind of shit Madden needs to do with Franchise. If they did this kind of stuff and gave you this kind of freedom, I'd happily pay $60 for Madden for the first time since probably 2010.

      I wasn't planning on buying NBA 2K this year since I bought 2K18 last year, but with how much stuff they added to My League, this just became a pre-order this year. I love the amount of freedom they give you to truly customize your own league. The amount of sliders alone puts Madden to shame.

      Franchise - No, not as of now at least.

      Gameplay - Not really besides the generic statements on the website on Narrative Gameplay and Real Player Motion. I believe there has also been some mention of offball improvements, but I am not finding that in a quick search.
