    Madden NFL 10: Online Franchise Q&A with Donny Moore

    Check out the new Madden NFL 10 blog.

    "Donny Moore here, designer for Madden NFL 10. If you've been following me on Twitter (donny_moore) you've likely noticed that I have been working on player ratings for the game, but what I've had to remain pretty tight-lipped on so far this year has been my involvement with Online Franchise. EA Sports president Peter Moore just recently announced this feature last week at the E3 press conference, and we knew going in that there would be all kinds of speculation and discussion over the feature among our fans. So this week we wanted to take the opportunity to answer some of the most common questions that we've been seeing from the community and from the gaming media. Not everyone has a 100% clear idea of what all is included in the mode, and we have also noticed that some folks have expressed frustration over missing features. With that being the case, we felt it imperative to explain a.) why we made the decisions that we did and b.) our plan for the future developing on this new platform. This feature is extremely important to me, especially as a die-hard Franchise guy (for those that don't know I worked on NFL Head Coach 09 along with fellow designer Josh Looman), so it has been an incredible experience to be a part of building a brand new Online Franchise experience - something totally new and different for the millions of Madden fans out there."

        the honesty around what features aren't in is refreshing

            Hmm..

            I guess you can look at online franchise as the NFL before the salary cap. You can stockpile your teams, guys only leave if you release trade or they retire.

            I am bummed out that salary cap, contracts and trade logic is missing, they are huge, but it might be fun if we do a waiver wire type of system. It just might end up being a ton of work.

            I might end up playing more of this offline then I wanted too.


            Thanks for posting, Ian.

              Kinda knew everything in that Q & A already... do appreciate the candidness though.


              Be nice if they did the same thing for OFFline franchise.

                    Yes, that's what I need to know. I am still going to give online franchise a shot as t's better then what we had as far as online leagues with Madden, but it's still very disappointing, some major things in online franchise is missing.

                    Ian, if possible we would love to get something like this going for the offline franchise.

                    Thanks again,

                      While reading all of that it sounds great, but no one asked about a BLACKBERRY APP for scheduling and things like they are doing with the iphone. If you're reading this IAN is there one in the works for my poor liitle storm

                        Regarding salary cap, contracts, and trade logic...they say they might release a post based on community demand after release? WTF is that? Seriously...like there isn't enough community demand for that stuff now? Why not start working on that stuff asap?

                          Disappointing to hear some of that stuff but people can set up workarounds and this is better than nothing. Here's to hoping that you guys can update it soon.

                          Alright... now I want to hear some info about offline franchise mode

                            Didn't notice Capnkill's question regarding what to do in the event of a disconnection. Who decides the winner? This happened a few times for me in '09 so I imagine it will still happen on ocassion in '10.

                              I agree with you bro. I want to see more about offline franchise mode. I feel that online this year in blogs have got more attention. I mean online franchise mode is going to be nice if you can get the right people to play and stick with the program. Filling a league of 32 people going to be very hard to do. Even if you do get 32 people. Trying to keep them playing it on a regular bases is going to be hard. I mean nice info you have given us Ian and thanks I ain't trying to complain. But some of us want more info on offline franchise mode as we was promised by Josh 4 months back in the first franchise blog.
