Online Franchise - Fluke or Foundation?

[FadeEmAll]

Needless to say I'm thoroughly dissapointed with the Online gimmick (often referred to as Online Franchise) released on Madden this year. I was wondering does anyone else agree that this was an obvious attempt by EA to set us up for the NEW FEATURE next year or do you really believe they didn't have enough time to fully flesh out their design?

What features do you think should they begin working on for next year?

Honestly, if they would give us custom sliders, or actually have the default difficulties play how they're supposed to, I could live with it. But as it stands, any games against the cpu are automatic wins, so unless you have 32 ACTIVE players, it's a joke.

I'd like to know where the the cpu AI for the online games are coming from, because it's not anywhere near the level it should be. Try playing all-madden... it's more like playing on the Pro difficulty... sad but true.
