I wonder if OS represents a good portion of the Madden fanbase.. because if thats the case, then it would seem that they wasted a lot of time adding the online franchise when over 50percent of the forum plays mostly or only offline.

Or maybe more madden fans will migrate to online mode.. who knows.

To be honest. I spend most of my time in the lab. I only play online. I chef up schemes in the lab for online but I spend a lot of time in the lab.

i usually will either just take my team the giants and build them up and stuff and really do not play the games. some time i fantasy draft and other times i will just take an awful team and see how long till i can make them super bowl champions.

While you will find quitters and cheesers in unranked games as well [cheesers who play unranked games often do so thinking of it as "practice mode"] but a lot of people I have in unranked games like to play real football. I am just so sick of how easy the computer is to defeat on all-pro mode and how in all-madden mode it has to cheat adn screw you over to make up for what ever skill it lacks. players running the wrong way, abandoning coverages and blocks at the most inopertune times while computer controlled players play with what appears to be 100awareness, knowing your play pre-snap and adjusting accordingly [come out in a big formation in a play action after running the ball hard and well and the defense comes out in a dime, or call a draw on 3rd and 4 out of a 4 wide spread formation and the d is in the 46. Then despite what you do in the audibles, the computer always knows what you audibled into and adjusts accordingly as well... makes me so angry and is so unfun.]

boy you hit tha nail on the head wit this one exactly right

Online only, All Pro is too easy (almost never lose regardless of matchup) and All Madden is cheap. For next gen, the game has no true sense of difficulty levels. So why bother.
