Online Franchise Touched?

[canes21]

Has online franchise even been touched? If so, where? I have not noticed it.

Ian was saying we would probably be getting Salary Cap added in an update, rosters updated, contracts, etc. We have gotten nothing in 2 months. Whats going on? At least give us custom sliders...

Show me where Ian said we would get salary cap and contracts.. because as far as I know that's a straight up lie. What I recall reading was "maybe in Madden 11"

[canes21]

They said they would add in what the users(us) voted on. So if they took a poll and Salary Cap was the most favored answer. ian said that that would be the first thing they tried to update. As far as I can tell, the online franchise has had no updates.

"That is something that we sorely wanted to squeeze in for Madden NFL 10, but simply could not pull it off in time. Because everything was built to be server-based for Online Franchise, things like CPU logic would have to be run on that server, so we were not able to make that a part of the online franchise experience by the time the game will hit the shelves. Based on usage once the game is released we will obviously look to update and change whatever the community feels is most important. "

And then a hush falls over the crowd as Cane serves up a punishing body blow to the EA hype machine.

The mention of server side fixes is and was a sham. I'd have more respect if EA ever one single time said hey this is what we got this year like it or lump it. The only reason I give Ian a small pass on the online chise feature is because Ortiz handed him a pile of crap with 09's league feature. Of course Ian and the gang could have at least added something to it at this point.

First statement is this:

That is claiming it is was guaranteed.

Not anywhere close to Ian guaranteeing it would be in.



Nice try though.

There was, from my perspective, an implication that smaller additions and/or changes would be made to online franchise mode, but certainly nowhere did anyone from EA guarantee anything with regard to improving the mode during Madden 10's life cycle.

To my knowledge, changes that have been made to online franchise since Madden's launch include default game speed and roster updates. Anything more than that I'm unaware of.

The thing is they said we would get updates based on what we wanted the most. We have not even been asked and we haven't received anything.
