IDK why, or if its just my CPU /Laptop, but the timing of the words and video seem off, from what i saw online earlier .. like the video showing the stuff slower, then the guy announcing, but IDK, maybe its a different video

Re: Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Confirmed

I guess I did not make myself clear...

I meant a league with only that amount of teams, not cpu controlled or user controlled.

If I wanted to setup a 16 team league and get a 16 team schedule for 16 user players only. Not 16 of 32

Sorry, probably not. Just like in an offline Franchise, you play as one team amongst 32 total teams, and you are (in the past and probably this edition) not given the ability to, say, remove the Patriots from the NFL

Dude, they have the fans buying food at the hotdog stands?! Coaches yelling on the sidelines? Player/fan celebrations? Ian might be right, this game may give 2K5 a run for it's money, PRESENTATION-WISE anyways.

It reminded me big time of 2k5! With the next gen power, I hope we have a new champion of football gaming. Lookin good

Re: Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Confirmed

They also dont say you will be scouting from the same rookie class. Or scouting in general. They dont say much about the draft and when they list things that are similar to offline franchise they say

But that is all they say. Compare that to the EA marketing schemes of past with NCAA and I started to think how long will it really be. They leave the door open to how long it really is going to be.

They may have said there will be drafts but the way its worded with other articles leaves me confused.

There is zero evidence to believe that Online Franchise will be limited to one year. There is just as much evidence to suggest that this will actually be a dancing simulator, rather than a football game... because, heck, nobody says it isn't a dancing simulator. The other little things, scouting players, etc., now maybe those will be missing, I don't think it's the end of the world, but to announce something as a "franchise" mode and to also have concurrent reports talk about "future draft picks," and then lo & behold, it is a single-season mode, would be very strange.

I think that your history-of-EA-induced neurosis has gotten the better of you

3. Prepare for lag

Why would there be increased lag?

Doubt it, seems like they are going for the authenticity of the actual NFL.

I did say I was confused:wink:

I understand the ramifications if Online Franchise mode is not multi year and hope that my confusion is all in vain. With different reports giving different details we wont know until a later time what it really is. Smart money is on multi season year but EA is not always smart...there I go again with the history-of-EA...

PS.
I have faith in Ian to make the smart move but I dont want to assume something when it has yet to be said if it really is what we think it is.

Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

Im going to go out on the limb and say that 2k just got beat as far as presentation goes..It looks like if there was an nfl 2k10..this is what the presentation would look like. As for gameplay.....we'll talk about that later lol

I wouldnt say that yet... 2k5 had ALOT of various cut scenes...if Madden 10 has few too little...those cut scenes will repeat way too often...like i tried telling the dev's in here over last year and quite frequently i might add....they key to adding cut scene's into this game relies heavely on the amount you add...2k5 had ALOT of different cut scenes..just enough where they really never got old over the fall and winter i played 2k5...The Madden dev's need to make sure that their are plenty of various cut scenes...otherwise it will ruin the entire experience.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Confirmed

This feature does almost nothing for me personally. Congrats to everyone else who asked for this I suppose. I hate online play personally, and probably won't even be capable of playing online due to my situation when Madden comes out.

PLEASE let there be a good OFFLINE franchise!

With you here...would like to hear some details on offline franchise improvement first. Still, good for those who use it.

I will also add that some of the pics (presumably from cutscenes, etc) are looking nice. Hopefully presentation in franchise (both offline and on) is deep, as that as much as almost any added feature is key to immersion.

Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

I just hope they put as much time into the tweaking the final build gameplay as they did in the presentation. The presentation looks better and better with each video I see, but the gameplay is doing the exact opposite with each new video IMHO.
