hopefully there will be more clarification on the online franchise portion of the game and not solely on features. Last year a lot of it was by trial and error and then reporting back to the community on exactly what does what and how to set up leagues to make work how wanted. Excited to hear more about community challenges and can use as practice mode and how the community plays out different situations

Create a ballpark sounds promising. Hopefully they make that aspect in depth in the future and go all out which i am sure they will. A lot of good info in this video I like the direction everything is going.

So if I understood that correctly, if I want to do an online franchise by myself to take advantage of the differences between online/offline I can't since the minimum is 6 human teams? Or is there a workaround for that?


Very nice interview though.

Didn't sound like there was a work around. Sounds like 6 human controlled teams minimum or no Online Franchise at all. Maybe Ramone can hop in and clarify some things if need be.

Wow, if true that's a big deal. All the posts in the online franchise thread indicated you could do one human and 29 CPU teams.

Wouldn't jump to a conclusion yet. Like I said lets see if Ramone or any other Dev can clarify cause according the interview you have to have a minimum of 6 human controlled teams and the rest of the teams can be set for the CPU to control.
