Online Franchise - LET me get this straight

[Jim Jones]

No salary cap
No trades
No real life NCAA draft classes

wtf is the point even adding it without these key features? I mean, really? It's like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the peanut butter and jelly.

Then dont play it
Because i know i will and i dont want a bunch of complainers around me

Dude, it's year one of this, next year that stuff should be there. Until then get creative.

From what I understand, the online franchise features can be improved post-release since most of the logic/features reside on EA servers and not the game disc. Could be mistaken though.

You are correct about the salary cap and NCAA draft classes. But there are trades for sure.

Yea, I mean isn't trades the whole drive of the iphone app? Being able to do trades and change your depth chart?

Don't forget about the inability to scrim inside the franchise leagues. :/ .... for some leagues, this was a great feature between weeks during the season before and after playing their league games to get comfortable playing with their newly acquired players via trades. I'm baffled as to why this isn't a part of the franchise.

Please bring this back via a patch -

You can trade. You can be a big kid and come up with ways to manage a salary cap - and it might actually be more fun than what you wish you had.
