Is CO-OP Franchise possible in Madden 13 via system link or online?

Yeah I was raging. That was literally the main issue I even thought about not buying Madden NFL 13. I might not buy it now, and that reason still lingers on.

Under the game details (which doesn't mean its correct) it says they have online co-op. I assume (which could be a bad thing) that it is referring to OTP since CCM doesn't have co-op

The fact that EA wouldn't include the ability to have a friend play alongside you in an offline CCM is mind boggling and inherently idiotic. Is it that hard of a feature to include?

I hope there is some way they can patch it into the game.

I don´t see this happening until next year. This same thing happened with the first madden/ncaa on this generation. I remember when my friend and i switch controllers over (i played offense, he played defense) on that time. That sucks.

Hopefully i´m mistaken.

It really is a shame.

Co-op is available for "Play Now" one-off matches, but not Franchise - how barmy is that?

Like some on here, I only play co-op franchise, immersing myself in a season and enjoying the playoff ride with friends. One-off meaningless matches just don't have the same appeal so unfortunately I'm not going to buy this.

I'm really struggling to understand why they'd remove it? It's hardly a gameplay feature as such and it's available in "Play Now", so why remove it from Franchise?

I guess it won't be too much of an issue for folks who don't have siblings, or would rather play on their own.

But my brother and I have been playing together for years. This now means we would have to buy two copies of the game and I would have to go play on a separate Xbox. I could understand not allowing you to play with someone on an online CCM, but offline it should be available. Especially since I cannot possibly see how it could be difficult to put into the game.

Extremely frustrating.
