Gaming today is all about online play and with sports games online franchises. For the Show not to have it, especially after having it previously, is mystifying in its own right, and beyond disappointing for those who play/played it.

I guess if there is any silver lining to this announcement, is that its known now, and not discovered after the launch of the game.

It's not a surprise but it is still a disappointment. Not crazy about that last line either, seems like they are really funnelling all the online play into DD

I knew that when Online Franchise and Season mode were pulled last year that we would never see them again.

Not surprised. Still very upset over the way they handled it last year. I have hope that when next gen launches they will have built Online Franchise from the ground up. They took it out. It was truly a bad, broken mode. Me and my buddies had to use many workarounds to make it work but we did and had fun with what we had.

I just know SDS focus is on DD and they dont want anything to interfere with the servers and thats a big reason it was taken out. 2k has it, madden has it, NCAA had it, NHL had it. Baseball needs it.

There is nothing better then sharing a franchise world with friends and vying for the same free agents and draft picks. Fighting in the playoffs etc. It is a ton of fun and It severely lessens my excitement for the game.

A few years ago they diverted all focus toward online franchise away from offline franchise.

Made them completely different from each other. I believe that online and offline should have had the same core components. Then completely abandon it?

It's really a shame, although I did not play online I feel for those that do and for whatever reason franchise mode does not seem to be a focus.

Dont play online, so it doesnt directly affect me, just hope it means it freed somebody up to work on something, anything, thats not DD related
