I find offline franchise so addicting..

I'm on my 5th, 9 minute, playmakers sliders game for the day. I can't stop playing haha. I started a Steelers Franchise today and I am already in Week 6! Does anyone else find this game addicting, it's like I keep saying to myself just one more game..

Re: I find offline franchise so addicting..

I truly am an offline franchise addict. That is why it pains me that there is no future draft pick trades, RFA, practice squads, working IR..etc.

This isn't a bash post...I truly love franchise mode. I just wish it loved me back.

Re: I find offline franchise so addicting..

I think one of the reasons offline franchise gets bashed so much, is that so many people simply care too much. And... with Head Coach 09, EA set a standard that we know they can attain. Yet they simply don't. Or won't.

Nonetheless, in a perverse way I look forward to the end of the season and firing, hiring, re-signing and rebuilding. I'll spend 20 minutes just staring at the player progressions, and completely irrationally I'll re-sign players that have done well and progressed significantly, even if I know they're C potential overall.

Offline franchise is the only thing that keeps me coming back to Madden. I get a little bored, I buy shiny new games (GT 5, Special Ops both on my shopping list) but Madden's the game I always come back to.

Re: I find offline franchise so addicting..

Same here. Its VERY addicting. Needs a little more depth to it, but I still love it. Its just another world I immerse myself in from time to time.

It started back up in Madden 10 where I found myself playing 2 games in a sitting. I love my wife to the end, but I'm absolutely elated when she goes shopping or has her friends over so I can have my NCAA/ Madden marathons lol.

Man I'm serious about my dynasty/franchise mode.

Re: I find offline franchise so addicting..

I love it as well. I still REALLY want a massive upgrade, but it's all I play.

The right slider set makes a HUGE difference. I use a tweak of mikeownz sliders and they are great. I feel like I really earn wins and deserve the losses. You can really tell a difference when a stud goes out. I have
Spoiler
as my RB and when he's out and Tashard Choice comes in I know I have to call different plays and can't be as aggresive. Same for the CPU. Played the Redskins and they lost thier starter and a worn down (I'm in 2012) Clinton portis came in and he was noticebly easier to contain.

Very fun to play.
