I just read Josh Looman's Q&A regarding franchise mode for Madden 2010. He stressed that his approach would be to rebuild the foundation of the mode, ie sound logic, stats, progression and that kinda jazz. As he said, if you had termites in your house, you wouldn't build a new addition before getting rid of them.
This was a sound approach for M '10, Looman's first year at the helm of franchise. The mode had been an absolute joke before its arrival, so it was necessary to take a more basic approach.
But with that being said, the time for "tweaking" is over. They had a full year to work on this stuff, stuff that, for the most part, worked fine on old-gens games over 6 years ago. However, I've seen people around here suggesting that all it would take to win them over this year is to see franchise get "shored up" and "stats and logic improved".
Bull **** people! Just because that crap wasn't delivered as promised last year means we should lower our expectations yet again. Josh, you got your year to get rid of the termites. Now we expect you to make this "house" into a "mansion" (brilliant analogy, I know).
I'm not even talking bringing Madden up to old-gen's caliber. I'm talking surpassing it. It's been 6 years, the least we can get is a new feature that we can say, "Wow, I've never seen that before!" I'm referring to things like, oh, I don't know, 80 MAN ROSTERS, PRACTICE SQUADS, AN ACTUAL WEEKLY HIGHLIGHT SHOW. Plus all that other stuff from old gen classics like pro-bowl players with their actual helmets, a college senior bowl, training camp, maybe player roles, and everything else.
Bottom line is that the time for tweaking is over. I've drawn the line. If Madden 2011 franchise is not BETTER, DEEPER, MORE REALISTIC than any Madden franchise mode ever, I will not buy this game. Gentlemen, we've grown complacent. We've become trained to accept an inferior product. It's time to make a stand and accept nothing but excellence. Who's with me!?
