Um here's what I do to make it fun (this goes for the NBA 2k series as well for me):
1. Choose a middle-of-the-pack team (dolphins, jets etc)
2. Play on all-madden
3. Build up from there (make trades, free agency, stuff like that)
4. Have fun

Ok, you're a Madden God. We bow to you.


I'm 43 and alot of my friends don't play online either, or at all. With good sliders, I have some challenging games even on All Pro. I don't think I suck, but I guess I'm not as great as you are, oh Mighty One.

I just play to pass the time. Offline to me is fine, as I don't have to deal with cheesers and kids like you. Ok?

With that said, lock coming in 3.....2.......1......

Maybe because all of my friends have an Xbox and I'd rather play a computer than people I don't know.

You know, you can adjust the difficulty of the game so that you don't score 60 on the cpu.

Some people also don't like all the cheesing and stuff that occurs online.

Online is certainly very fun, but when half the ppl quit 5 games in b/c their 1-4 at that point sucks...

It's not fun to just whoop the CPU unless your team really is just that much better. I sort of like to make my own story and guide my team to the superbowl (very rare as I make sure the difficulty is well... difficult). But when I do win a superbowl, I feel very accomplished. In fact out of all of my time playing offline Franchise (since 2002) I have only won a superbowl twice and a NCAA championship twice. It is fun to build your team and see where things go. As a Falcons fan I always wonder if Ryan will be the next Manning or if the Falcons will ever actually win a superbowl. Madden helps me play that out and sort of visit the future.... even if it is a false future.

Re: whats the fun in and offline feanchise? just asking

I mainly find offline franchise fun because I don't have to wait on other people play. Plus I don't have to worry about people cheating or cheesing me in online franchise mode aswell. Overall I've always found offline franchise mode fun.

Just like me. Playing as Cleveland, I've yet to reach the Promised Land. I've been to the AFC Championship game once, where the Pats tore me up.

Re: whats the fun in and offline feanchise? just asking

I guess I really suck at madden then. At one point we all sucked at madden cuz I remember when lol there wasn't an internet and people still loved to play madden.

Re: whats the fun in and offline feanchise? just asking

I've always enjoyed offline franchise. I play online franchises and consider myself pretty good at Madden, I used to be into the tournament scene back in 2005 but no longer. Offline franchise is great for managing a team, it's really interesting to me. When I'm bored of that my online franchises let me play some live opponents.

Re: whats the fun in and offline feanchise? just asking

I don't get the point of playing online (unless it's online dynasty). What are you building towards exactly?
Nothing.

You can make franchise hard thus the reason why we have sliders. People who play off line franchise are mainly sim players and like to play a real game of football, none of this drop back 20 yds, scramble around til someone is open, cal the same money play over and over, and go for it on 4th down crap. Franchise is the most played mode and being that people are having fun with it. If you're not having any fun with it then you are probably best suited for on line play being that you more than likely fit into one of the categories I mentioned above.

i agree 100% that's one main reason i don't play online is because of most of what u meantioned..... i tried online franchise i just don't like the idea of having to wait around for another memeber of your franchise to play a game before u can start another one.

I think this thread is a pretty good indicator of why people don't play online.
