Incidentally, has anyone tried the Gamecube version? I'm wondering how the franchise mode stacks up to the Wii version, because I notice there are certain elements (create-a-team for instance) that were in the GC version of 07 but are absent in the Wii version of 08.
While the Wii version is a lot of fun to play, I might consider picking up the GC version for franchise simming if it still has that stuff.
