lmao I know. I thought this thread was closed before realizing it was moved. I believe your thread should stay though, seeing as how its big news.

Not super exciting, but I guess team up in nba 2k9 was cooler than I thought it would be (when you could actually game started). I can see 2 players being fun on defense, but what do you do on the offensive side of the ball? I think offensive videogame football definitely lends itself to one player. Can a human player really run a quick in, or take a handoff any better than the CPU controlling the player?

This is a legitimate question as I really haven't ever played 2P football. Maybe a few minutes here or there when I was little, but I remember it basically sucked then

This an awesome announcment, what makes it better is that since it's online, each person will have a nice camera angleof there player.

I wish it had cross platform co-op multiplayer.

Fifa 2008 had 5 on 5 team play. Do EA dev teams help each other at all? that was 2-3 years ago when they came up with that.

This online co-op team play feature has the potential to be a huge part of online madden, but limiting it to 2 on 2 is going to ****** that growth. Contrary to what some of you think, Football is certainly a good game to do co-op gaming. There are 6 skill positions on offense and all 11 players on defense to choose from. This feature could easily have started with 5 on 5, or 4 on 4 at least.

But at least it's finally here, and trust me guys, you will like it a lot.

I don't understand some of ya'lls logic that this is for the casual gamer. I dont see how you can conclude that.. This feature will be good for the hardcore madden fan as well as the casual gamer. It will be good for both those who are looking for fun, and those who are competitive. It's all what you put into it. sure, just like on fifa, you might get a few guys on there who are idiots and just run around like chickens with their heads cut off, but if you run game with and/or against friends, you will easily have a very competitive game.

and yes, the biggest news is that this announcement leaves the door open for online franchise... but I fear that all it's going to be is just the next iteration of online leagues and not full blown online franchise. franchise mode itself needs to be revamped in order for it to make sense as a multiplayer game. right now it doesn't lend itself that much to be a multiplayer game. you can do it, but it still plays more like a 1 person game mode.

Flawed comparison. The total number of players on the field in American Football has 22, more than soccer. That's GOTTA be a tougher nut to crack.
