Franchise play

[dougdeuce]

I'm wondering if in this years game while playing franchise if I can chose to have all of the other games around the league simulate in real time?

I really don't like being the 3rd of 5 games at 10:00am and either simulating to my game where I know the outcome of other games that occur at the same time as mine, and then also have 2 other games without one down played, or playing my game and having no downs being played in any of the other 4.

follow me?

If I play at 10 and there are 4 other games, will it be possible for those games to sim WHILE I PLAY MY GAME? this way the halftime highlights show (and ticker) will update in real time.

Anyone on board with me on this one?

Sounds like a good idea

Great idea!

I would like to get some insight from a dev if this is possible. I hate posting an idea like this and having it skim down the madden boards as quick as possible, cause imo something like this would VASTLY improve the feel of franchise play for me. As it stands, there is a huge disconnect from the rest of the league while playing my games, and this would remedy that for me.

Yeah I always liked on NCAA they would show scores from other games going on during your game in real time. Even if the game was simmed prior to your game, in-game the CPU games flowed in real time.

Is there no score-ticker on previous next-gen Maddens?

There is not... major disappointment. for the presentation to live up to my expectations this is a must.

Ouch that definitely takes away from franchise mode.

A part of a good franchise mode is immersion and not feeling like you're the only team in the league that exists.

They have hinted that there will be a highlight show this year so hopefully the score ticker is in as well.

agreed, but as it was in 09, if you played on Monday night, you could play your game before any of the Sunday games were played... This is not realistic and I don't feel it should be my responsibility to simulate all the games prior to mine..
If I'm playing on monday, all the games prior to mine should sim as soon as I load up mine.
