From what I've read, it doesn't sound as though it's changed much...which is more than a little disappointing, but oh well...

I'll update tomorrow when I get my copy of the game and let you know of any additional franchise developments in this version (2003).

According to the interview with Tim, we'll have an Offseason Central hub where we can carry out all the offseason tasks (presumably not necessarily in a set order), an Upcoming Free Agents screen and an MVP Watch. Apart from that, it's supposed to be pretty much the same.

Also, i read that the triple band trades isn't in the game.

Now, forgive me if this has already been posted, but are you able to trade draft picks (officially) in franchise mode?

No. Can't trade draft picks.

I saw a screenshot of the OffSeason Hub somewhere, and it had trades in there too. I hope they're included and that the CPU makes them as well.
