Every EA Sports Game has this except Madden

The ability to change teams mid-Franchise.(Being fired)
Whats the point of playing Franchise if there is no challenge?If you cant be fired there is no challenge.

PS2 Franchise made it even better.You didnt get fired in those games.They FORCED you to MOVE outta town!

Thats some of the stuff EA was good at.Most games would have you be fired and make you find another team.Here comes EA and they did it better!They took that one feature(sad to have to call that a feature I know) and raised the bar with it.EA's changing teams mid-franchise feature was the best idea in any sports game and still is.It's also a very missed feature.To be forced to move your entire team.Man that was sweet!

Madden NFL 2004 is the 14th installment of the Madden NFL series of American football video games. Michael Vick, the former Atlanta Falcons quarterback, is on the cover. New features in Madden 2004 include a new owner mode option that allows the player to control a franchise. In this mode, the player takes on all the responsibilities related to owning a professional football team, from regulating hot dog prices, to team relocation, to hiring and firing coaching staff. Another new feature is the ability to edit a historic team. Also, a new training camp mode, occurring before the preseason, that can help player progress faster by putting him through mini-camp drills.

The first game to come to the current gen of consoles was in 06.

Quote:

The XBOX 360 version had very photo-realistic graphics but lacked the features of the Playstation 2 and XBOX versions. The player couldn't create any new players or edit the rosters or attributes. The player could still trade and release players to free agency. The game still had franchise mode but it lacked many features. The player could not change their franchise team or go into front office mode. During games the player couldn't challenge plays or fumbles and there is no graphic telling the game's final score or a prompt telling the player the game is over. Achievements were quite easy to earn for instance, completing a long pass or getting a two-point conversion were listed as achievements. The game engine of this game was retooled and later released as NCAA Football 07 and was the basis for the first two games on the next-gen console.

Yea this is some of the things I do miss about franchise mode and all. I wish they would readd this stuff to franchise mode in the next Gen madden. But who knows what is going to happen in madden 11. Without news it's hard to know what will be added to madden 11 right now. Hopefully we will know within the next few months what Josh Looman will do with this year franchise mode.

Definitely needs to be in this year. I would be so happy if they would just do this. I miss being able to build up a team and then change to another team and so the same.

Yea, that would be awesome. I hope one year they just go all out on Franchise mode, to the littlest detail. I really miss the old franchise days, I could play multiple seasons and it never got old. It was just FUN.
