Hope EA puts it in this year or it's definately a no buy for me and millions of others I'm sure.

that was in last years game and is in this years as well

Sorry meat I misunderstood you. They had some sort of coach mode in place of offline franchise last year. In that coach mode you could not edit players appearance or anything, it was very boring because you had no control like you do with offline franchise. They took offline franchise out all together in madden 13. I'm hoping they put it in madden 25. Sorry for the confusion.

However, in browsing thru this thread, I see it appears to be something different. and so... I ask here.. to clarify... will madden have online franchises connected to (potentially) 32 other owners? NCAA has been doing it right for years. does madden have it? Do they even talk about it anymore?

Yes. This was in M13 and looks to be improved for M25

I read this and enjoyed it. I like what I am seeing but does anyone know if anything is being done about the lack of playing time, drills when you are a 2nd or 3rd string player? That was the biggest fallback I thought with this game. It was something that needed tweaked.

Question: can you get fired from being the owner? Meaning, in Madden 13 as a coach if you kept losing/didn't meet your goals you'd get fired. Can you, in owner mode, get fired? Or does the game never end until the 30 year mark?

I wouldnt think so you'll just fire a coach.

I remember reading that you can lose your spot as owner if you lose too much money. So basically, if your team is consistently losing money each season you will be "fired" from being the owner.

Dang, I didn't know that.
