The interface shouldn't be a hassle to get around, and EA sports has mastered that idea. Madden '99 features an enhanced dynasty mode that allows you to play up to 15 seasons. While it pales in comparison to the 255 seasons that you could possibly coach in NCAA '99's dynasty mode, it is still a much-welcomed addition. Franchise mode allows you to select a team and play one, none, or all of their games, or simply sim them and deal with the results. Player ratings can change from season to season based on age, performance, and injury.
Players can also retire due to age or injury.
During the season in franchise mode, you have the ability to take over every aspect of running the team, and that includes signing free agents, releasing players, and trading players. During the season, you have access to league-wide news, which gives a brief update on other franchises. There is a coach's rating section, where you can view your overall record, your current season record, your average points per game, etc., as well as a brief comment about your team's performance or the status of your job by the week. You can view the players of the week, including the current week and every preceding week. Statistics can be viewed for either the individual or team, and there are statistical breakdowns to see where your player or team ranks with others in the league.
