no cpu vs cpu in franchise (EDIT: YES YOU CAN)

According to Steve from here you can't spectate in franchise mode. What a bummer. I use this feature a lot in the class I teach. Too bad I was really looking forward to using next gen instead of updating the pc version. Still going to buy because I will play it, just sucks for my sports marketing class project

Yeah this is a letdown.

What kind of class you teach that involves Madden?

Oh no, I'll just have to watch real football instead.

I do a huge unit on the nfl in my sports marketing class. Each group drafts 10 players and they do an essay of why they drafted the players. Then they have to create a team media guide, website, etc to market their team. Each friday we watch a game of the week. The kids love it. So for the comment about watching real football, I do. I would not watch cpu vs cpu unless it it is for my sports marketing class.

I didn't see anything like that in the Q&A. Maybe I missed it? Link?

This is where I saw it

"Steve_OS @ Aug 2 (9 Hours Ago) I've been getting a lot of emails on this one, so I figured I'd throw it out there.

You can't spectate a franchise game, you can only play them or sim them. This does include teams you don't control."

Wow, cool idea man. Good to see there are some creative teachers out there!

Well this is a bummer. Why would they take that option out. Unless they added a coach mode or something where you can call the plays and watch them happen.
