Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Discussion

Re: Online Franchise - Virtual Profiles

That's a pretty good idea. If you had to be out of town or just couldn't make your game vs. a human, then your "VIP" would be loaded and play for you. So your tendencies and playcalling and whatnot would represent your style of play, instead of the generic CPU style of play.

I like it. That shouldn't be hard to do for next year's game.

Re: Ok, what do we want to know abotu On-Line Franchise?

Is it possible to have a human play for CPU controlled teams on my schedule. I would like to only play human opponents even if my franchise only has 2 or 3 fully human controlled teams. So basically anytime I have a CPU opponent on my schedule I could choose to have a person take over for that team for just one game.

doubt that would be possible, but sliders should allow your OF to make the cpu more challenging :wink:

I don't want to play the CPU ever. I hate EA's CPU logic. I'd like to play a franchise with my bro who lives in a different city but basically always play against him every game on my schedule. I really hope this is possible. I think EA used to have this feature and called it "Remote Opponent" or something.

Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

I don't think it is even remotely safe to say. Most of those things in that video were already done in NFL 2k5. I'm not complaining, but I am just saying. I actually thought I was looking at 2k5 after a couple of the crowd shots. Can't be a bad thing.

The thing that made 2k5 great for presentation was that the transitions were smooth and perfect. If EA doesn't get that right, it will feel artificial.

I am excited but I am not crowning them until I see it live...

I agree... The other thing that 2K had was the great sidelines & interaction that went with it. Even in All Pro the sidelines stuff was a real as it gets. Players would hold you up when you fell out of bounds, players on the sideline argued with players on the field etc.. This is shaping up to be the best Madden ever, but sadly I remember reading that the sidelines will still be generic for some reason. If you took eveything EA is doing & add the 2K sidelines it would be insane. The players on the sidelines in 2K actually matched their on the field counterparts.

I'm hoping to see some good stuff tomorrow!!!

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.

You didn't exactly see new videos because most of them were from earlier builds of the game.

Forget about the sidelines! There's so much other stuff this game is doing presentation-wise that Madden has never had! I'm am so excited right now!

Re: Finally...The Truth About Online Franchise

Again, it sounds cool, I just don't know how realistic it is to have a bunch of friends who all love Madden, all have the same exact system, and all are willing to play online. It's far from impossible to find, but I guess the more realistic option is to find people online rather than recruit your real life friends.

And I agree that if you lose in franchise mode, that's okay because it's indeed a franchise mode. My point is that it would seem that you might only get through..2 seasons, maybe 3. That doesn't seem all that long to rebuild a team.

I've been in 2 multi year OD in NCAA. Also by "friends" I don't mean people from my own town. Basically i have a lot of "friends" here on OS. So yeah I mean ONLINE friends.

You'd sacrifice the visual quality of the players on the field if you were to do that.

Ian addressed this a while back in one of his posts.

I wonder if you they have something like realistic rosters in an online franchise setting...where EA updates the players constantly... I hate when team rosters arent really real. I would like a league where the rosters are how they are in real life.

Re: Finally...The Truth About Online Franchise

Here's a question, maybe someone who's played Online Dynasty in NCAA 09 (specifically on the PS3) can answer this one:

My roommate and I like to do a two-player franchise locally... we are doing one in NCAA right now and plan on doing one in Madden. But Online Franchise would be even sweeter. I know we could both do the Online Franchise from the same console if we are playing the CPU or a human opponent online. What if we have to play each other, though? Can we play it HUM vs. HUM on our one console?

I know in NCAA 09's Online Dynasty you can do this. So I would assume you can do this in Madden 10's Online Franchise.

Re: Online Franchise - Virtual Profiles

That is a fantastic idea.

Re: Online Franchise - Virtual Profiles

awesome idea, would be great to get that implemented. although i could see that being glitched somehow

Awesome, I figured that was the case but I never ended up doing an Online Dynasty so I wasn't sure. Thanks for confirming that.

It was called Live Opponent and it was an awesome feature I don't know why they removed it after madden '07?
