    Story begins with user going onto field with teammate, one of top WR in country. Will walk through some of controls; players in pre-game on-field uniform/gear (no pads).
    "Everything you do in this mode matters." - Young

    [Portions of Young interview lost due to technical issue.]
    After all of this your player will be in the regular Franchise Mode experience.

    I was really hoping that there would be a lot more for franchise. This new mode sounds interesting but I wouldn't''t really play it much. It's all about single player franchise...
