[QUOTE="CeeJay, post: 140279"] Thanks for the info. Ill definately order it from oz if it dosent arrive this friday. Franchise sounds dissappointing, I always end up starting a new one each year just bcoz the off season is so annoying and boring. This year sounds like an all time low. If you are doing a franchise then you should know that when training certain weapons for players, that some of them dont work, and the progression will reset after one week. Would hate to see you wasting valuable points on nothing! Heres a list of what works and what dosent so far, put together by someone on the IGN boards. Obviously, the one with no written beside them are no-goes. Weapon Type - WR Hands - Yes Possession Receiver - No Quick Receiver - No Spectacular Catch Receiver - No Speed - Yes Stiff Arm Ball Carrier - Yes Hint: With the Coverage Challenge, make Out & Ins. Run about 5 yards up field and make a quick move out then in. You should be at an angle running up field with an advantage. Call for ball. The QB will OVER THROW you bad and on purpose. Dont panic.
