The Evolution of Online Franchise?

I think ive discussed this with a few of you before, but it seems like theres a big time chance Online Franchise is finally gonna take the leap forward we've been waiting for. On Monday (June 4th), EA is going to release the much anticipated information on evolutionary gameplay stuff. But they're also announcing what "Connected Careers" is all about. And early indications seem to be that it will be very very similar to what NHL 13 has introduced as "GM Connected." You can read the features to "GM Connected" in the link below.

If this is how Madden's online franchise will work, im excited!

After reading some bits and pieces of various articles on Connected Careers, this is what I've gathered in terms of what pertains to our league...

1) Out with the old engine, in with the Infinity Engine. FINALLY, a new and improved engine that will "incorporate a player’s weight, center of mass, body type and height
into every action, making each movement on the field more dynamic as
ball carriers struggle and fight for yards."

2) Franchise Mode, Online Franchise, and Superstar Mode have all been scraped. CC is going to be a deeper, more fluid, and longer version of any of the previous modes.

3) CC will include Stock Rosters only... NO Fantasy Drafts (which doesn't really affect XML).

4) In CC, you have the ability to earn XP (Experience Points) which allow you to progress players (as well as other "booster packages", i believe).

5) Salary Cap, Deeper Drafts, College Senior Scouting and Draft Pick Trading are all in CC! Woot!

This is just a (very) brief synopsis. What do you guys think of the new game mode? I, for one, am super excited for the new Infinity Engine. We won't have to see some of those lame animations we've seen for a few years now. The game should play much more fluid.
