Well so long as both offline and online franchise mode gets the same attention and get the big improvements people are looking forward to for both of them. I woud be a happy camper for the most part.

Amazing they had never cut a demo with commentary before...I'd say it did them more harm then good!

I think Phil hasn't been on the forums in awhile. The people here expect EVERYTHING for franchise so there's not much that he can up with outside of an expansion mode that we wouldn't have already put on a list somewhere.

Count me in on not having any clue what we'll be getting in 2012 but I have to wonder if the announcement that nothing happened this year was a good move on their part. With the exception of progression and busts/gems last year, the mode has been largely untouched since the last gen so if they just went about did the usual tweaks they wouldn't be getting so much slack on the front end but the real problem is the expectation it sets for 2012.

They are raising their bar high on this one and the track record that precedes them isn't exactly spotless. I would say its going to be an extreme case of hit or miss.

Very true. I'm shocked they did this. Its a very poor marketing plan to showcase a stripped down feature. People just think it wasn't done right. Most don't know some of it was removed to fit in a download.

You're welcome.

I had a few issues with the demo and wanted to ask some questions that I hadn't heard addressed in the things that I had read to this point.

Madden 10 was a huge turnaround for the series and I'm really curious to see where they would go with this years edition.

Right now, I'm just not sure...
