I almost vomited in my mouth at the thought of hearing 6 wankers smack talking each other all at once. 2 is bad enough....blah....blah...blah....

Jake said they started with 3 because it just felt like the right number, but it can go up if thats what the community wants.

Other sports games like NBA 2K and The Show don't back burner Franchise mode and authentic game-play for competitive play. Those franchises put tremendous effort into satisfying both crowds. I don't see why Madden can't do the same.

I would say that franchise has definitely taken a back seat to Diamond Dynasty in MLB....IMO

Hate to be negative but it seems like that's just where the majority is at this point. They're all kinds of ways they could've brought co-op play to Franchise.

Just think if you have up to 9 roles you can play in an organization:

Owner- Makes all decisions about relocation, stadium, hiring and firing football staff, heavily influences Football Ops.

Director of Football Operations- Controls football operations, hires and fires staff and coaches, influences public relations, influences scouting, trainer, and GM

General Manager- Signs and trades players, influences scouting and drafting.

Director of Scouting and Development- Drafts and scouts players, influences coach and trainer on development

Head Coach

Defensive Coordinator

Offensive Coordinator

Offensive Captain

Defensive Captain

With all these roles influencing one another and trying to all win a championship. Would be a great mode for both casuals who just want to be players and forget the management roles or hardcore guys who want to control everything.

Understand and think it would be great, but that doesn't really equal extra $. They tie it in with MUT and it provides another extra revenue stream that builds on an already very profitable mode.

I would give MUT a try if players actually had signature animation packages. I've never understood the intrigue with MUT being that all players basically animate the same. For example, you can't tell the difference between a 99 overall Barry Sanders and a 99 overall Walter Payton except for their physical appearance, even though IRL their running styles were totally different smh. Until Madden is able to differentiate how players animate (especially sig running animations for RB's) I'm good on MUT.

I would argue that most people playing the mode don't care about signature animations or stylistically differentiating players in any way. They just want the 99 speed, juke, truck, hit power, etc, because it's really about them, the User, not the real life player that they are controlling.
