There are still many questions to be answered. It is all in the details. Can we play more than one season? How is the college draft players ported over? Are their stats real? What about camera angles in game play? How are disconnects handled? What kind of power does the commish have to determine results, replace a deadbeat owner?? Many, many more questions.

holy tap dancing baby jesus ... this does seem like an "EA" thing to do. Incredible. This game may not come to be perfect or just everything we want, but it is making some surprising strides.

Yea, where is this video everyone is talking about?

Is their a link to a video.I was at work.

Ok, its in, awesome! The Web interface, double awesome!! Now its time for details, yes? Of course!!

So, this is what I would like to know:

1. Are rosters Isolated (meaning, I don't want EA Roster updates to mess with my On-line Franchise Roster, cause believe it or not, some games do that, which blows my mind)

2. What trade limitations do we have, if any?

3. What can we do on the website? I saw Depth Chart changes, which is great, what about position changes and trades, Free Agency?

4. Will Co-Op be available inside on-line franchise?

5. What options can we control, every off-line option, sliders, etc...?

6. What CAN'T be done on the web interface... owner replacement?

7. The Draft!! Drafting via Website, FANTASTIC!! Can we control how many rounds? Can we choose to sim part of the draft at some point? Can we que up players? Can the comish customize time between picks?

Ok, I'm sure I have more questions I just can't think of them at the moment. Please add your own.

Thanks EA!

Number 7 is important to me. I do not want to go through an entire 50+ round fantasy draft.

not yet I am sure by later this evening the e3 video will be posted somewhere. It took like 30 seconds for screens to show up on the madden website.

What are the odds I can find 31 people who will play fair and realistic?

If someone quits or needs to be booted can the the commish just replace em with another human player or cpu player to ensure the franchise runs smoothly?
 
# 94 Glorious Arc @ 06/01/09 07:11 PM
1. Will the online franchise be 30 seasons long?

2. Can you start the franchise with a fantasy draft to mix up the leagues?

EDIT
I got to watch the video over again and at 0:22 seconds in the upper middle of the screen it says fantasy draft and then jumps to players.

you don't have to play with 31 others you can play with your "sim" friends its up to 32

As an offline franchise guy, I must say I'm very impressed with this already. This actually has me very curious to try out ONLINE franchise this year for the first time.
 
# 97 Netherscourge @ 06/01/09 07:12 PM
I bet it's setup like fantasy football - you can pre-set your player priority fo rthe CPU to auto-draft for you.
 
# 98 DirtyBird @ 06/01/09 07:13 PM
Do you play against other people with your franchise? Can you create characters?

www.rfcunited.com we are older,most of us, and legit. Check us out we run 32 team leagues smooth. It's basically a small close community for madden as well as other games. I wouldn't be playing madden online if it was not for the U. We have a training camp so check us out!

it'll be nice to find out if the Extra Point highlight show will be in online franchise. Online franchise is gonna be huge, even if it's just me or with 10 of my friends, or with 32 folks.
