Am I the only one that doesn't care about online franchise?

LOL.

How could I be dead wrong? It's just an estimate, lol. It uses a widely used principle at least though.

Do I think its more than 2%? Sure. Do I think 20%? I'm not so sure.

EA added online leagues or whatever that crap was last year, before fixing the off-line franchise mode. The off-line franchise mode was still broken and unimproved from Madden 08. They however added some code to play a league of some sort online. I see no reason to not think EA might create an online franchise mode and again neglect the off-line franchise aspects.

EA knows that if they put "ONLINE FRANCHISE - Take your team team online and battle it out with 32 other players to determine the BEST in the NFL!" they will sell a bunch of copies to people.

This can be done at the expense of off-line franchise mode still being broken as they know those of us that play off-line will still play it regardless, as we have no other options.

In fact, if the current off-line franchise were ported to online, I'd wager most of you would be disappointed as well. Off-line needs improved before on-line can be any good.

On-line leagues were in no way shape or form related to Franchise. Off-line franchise / On-line franchise are clearly related. On-line leagues are a joke, and should never make another appearance again.

Lets hope it means that its in and they are waiting until the On-line announcements to announce it...

I was not encouraged however about Phil's "Face Book" comment when it came to their "big" on-line announcement...
