can we play franchise mode with this years teams stats? they seem updated in play now mode and online, but i tried franchise again and it was the stats from last seasons....any tips?

they can not update online franchise rosters. this includes ratings. If they bump up Brandon Meriweather's rating to a 90 in OLF for people who start a new franchise, his rating will be bumped up to 90 in my franchise that we've been playing for 6 years. The rosters would be set back to whatever the new default updated roster, negating 6, 8 or 10 years of online franchise progressions, trades, retirements, etc.

im not talking about the online franchise mode. im talking about the cpu franchise...

if you downloaded the latest roster update, any new franchise you start offline will start with that roster.

I think he is talking about it showing the 2009 stats, like when you are loading a game and it shows the bars for each team and players to watch with "2008 Stats: 56 tackles, 2INTS"
