"Practice" option in online franchise

[jyoung]

Just wondering if this is something that could be patched into the game?

I hate playing against the CPU or against random people online, so the practice field is where I spend most of my time in Madden aside from the weekly online franchise games.

However, due to the frequent roster updates, at this point in the season, my online franchise version of the Detroit Lions is nothing like the default Lions' roster.

While it's possible to trade for some players to keep my offline roster current to my online franchise, not being able to play with guys who have been taken in/out of the game's default roster due to injury or retirement is a major pain.

So is there any chance that the "practice" option might someday wind up in the online franchise mode, too?

I don't know much about online franchises, but is it possible to export your team? And then take that team to the practice field?

[jyoung]

Nope, no exporting of online franchise teams, unfortunately.

That would be another solution to this problem, though.

Whoa! Online practice mode itself would be a great idea.

Labbing offline has a different timing then online, a true online practice mode vs opponents would be phenomenal.

Nooooo, way different. Do you know anything about labbing? It is totally different then playing an actual game.
