New Game Mode for Madden 2017 (Wishlist)

Hello!
I am a huge football fan and a madden player. I played the 2008 PC version for years before finally getting a game console. During that time, I did a lot of editing rosters and keeping them up to date with madden editors. This is my first time posting on a Madden forum site, but I want to see what you think of this idea.

Simulating seasons, drafting, and building a franchise is something I enjoyed most about madden. The current maddens get boring when simulating or playing into the far future as the players I used to love to play with are replaced by randomly generated players. Which is all they can do considering they can't know the future. The game mode I would love to see in Madden 17 is the ability to start from previous years aka remake history.

What I mean is, either have a different mode or an option in connected franchise mode where you can start in a different year. For example, starting in the year 2000 with the roster at that time. When you finish the first season, the draft class is of the 2001 class and so on until the present day which will then auto-generate draft classes like the normal maddens do. It doesn't have to be the year 2000, it could be 2002, 2005, or it could be any year the user chooses. (give us the power) This will allow the gamer to remake the history of the NFL. Also, we would be able to play as some of madden's favorite players like Michael Vick, Ladanian Tomlinson, Ty Law, Ray Lewis, Shaun Alexander, Brett Favre, Dante Culpepper, and so many more in their prime with the updated graphics of today's madden. Think about it, what would have happened if Tim Couch was drafted by Pittsburgh? What if the Browns drafted Big Ben? Could you, make JaMarcus Russell the best QB in the NFL or will you make Andrew Luck a bust? Who would you pick, Eli Manning or Philip Rivers? Or Jake Long or Matt Ryan? Would Peyton Manning leave the Colts early in his career and play for the Giants? Would Tom Brady never have had the opportunity to start and remain a bench warmer his entire career? The possibilities are endless and you get to draft players you know or have heard of and change the NFL as we know it. I have dreamed about this type of gaming format for Madden and NBA games for a long time.

Here is what I would like to see in this mode, the
1. The ability to relocate, rebuild the stadium, and fantasy draft. (coach, owner, or player)
2. The rosters for the beginning years correct and with player photos (they've already built the rosters in previous maddens)
3. Draft classes. (All players should be projected the round they were picked, and players like JaMarcus Russell (#1 pick) starting with 78 overall, but low potential while players like Tom Brady (6th round) starting with a 70 overall, but maximum potential. Scouting players should be available. AND the ability to edit the draft classes before the year to the liking of the gamer.
4. The original coaches and a revamped coaching structure. Chip Kelly should not be the Eagles coach in the year 2000. This is more for CFM regardless of this mode, but add offensive and defensive coordinators and maybe even a few position coaches. That way you could either coach as or hire Mike Holmgren and have Norv Turner and Mike Tomlin as your coordinators. That would also be unique to have a coaching lineage that affects your legacy score. If you had a DC who went on to become a super bowl winning head coach, that should impact your legacy. (also add college coaches as potential coaching candidates)
5.Have the correct NFL schedule for each season until the current years. Make this mode as authentic as possible.
6. Offer both offline and Online accessibility.
7. Show history of those players who made pro bowl, won MVP, won Superbowl with the year they got it so players can look back and compare it to real life and see how they changed the NFL.
8. Update NFL rules properly. Start with 5 and 15 yard facemask penalties and extra point attempts at the 2. But when the NFL changed the rule, have a pop up explaining the rule change for the upcoming season. That would make it authentic.
9. CFM format with all the records up to the current date.
10. Deeper Free Agent pool

This would be the ultimate game mode for CFM lovers like me. Yes, a lot of data, but a whole lot of fun. No game mode like this exists.

What do you guys think of this type of game mode for Madden 17? Thanks for reading!!!!!
