Question about NFL Fever

Played Fever at Best Buy and absolutely loved it. Just one question that seals my purchase though, can you have a fantasy draft in franchise mode?

I played this at target last night, but it was on a demo disk, so i couldn't really take in all the features. I do, however, remember seeing a franchise mode, but did not check it out (as it was a demo disk).

IMHO, I would buy Madden for Xbox if you want a more SIM type football game. I was scoring at will on ALL-Pro level, which never happens in Madden. But if you like to score a lot, get NFL Fever.

Example. I was the NY Giants and I rolled out of the pocket with Collins.... threw into triple coverage to avoide a sack (I didn't know the throw away button).... completed the pass anyway, and took it about 60 yards for the score... that was my first play ever in the game.... you should never score a 60 yard TD on your first play in any football game, on any console....


just my opinion.... controller felt excellent for playing sports games...

Yes, it has a fantasy draft mode in dynasty option.

As for the easy factor of it... try playing off of rookie mode, that'll change your outlook quite a bit. Truthfully I'm thinking Fever for looks and franchise mode (though Madden's is pretty nice), and Madden for gameplay (from what I can tell so far). I think that the demo mode only offered rookie mode, but I could be wrong. Believe me, as I watched Tim Couch throw 6 ints in one game in veteran (after rookie was way too easy), it's not all that easy to throw.

Yeah, well perhaps you missed my comment...

If, in fact, I am correct. His "all pro" material wasn't that. I was hoping someone could confirm or deny this, not try to show that I do or don't read well (which for the record, I do - lol).

Sorry mmeadows, I only got 2 hours of sleep last night. I usually don't bitch at someone for doing something and then do the exact same thing in that post.
