Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

Re: Online Franchise - Virtual Profiles

Wow thats a really good idea i think you should try to contact Ian and tell him about it even though he never really replies its worth a try

I cant believe im going to defend him(Ian) here. Prior to recent events, I feel he and all of the dev team did make a solid effort. Even if he was here I doubt theres much that can be done at this point.

Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

Very short video but theres a lot of good things that can be pointed out from this video that wasnt in madden 09

Re: Madden 10 Online Franchise Trailer

Who needs chemistry in regards to the Terrell Owens thing? Maybe they should actually put team chemistry in franchise for once. Looks like it's not in madden 10.

Once again EA swoops in after other smaller developer have already developed the idea. SportSims.net has been doing on line franchise football for years now, including an on line LIVE Draft.

Well I guess you we all can go over to SportSims.net and practice before the EA colossus puts them out of business (unless the Madden sucks of course cause SportSims.net is amazing and may be hard to beat. It is the nest game no ones know about.)

Hell with just franchise. It should be in EVERY game you play. Online and off. TO should turn into a chump if he doesn't get x amount of touches at the beginning of the game.

Re: Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Confirmed

any word if we can use the co-op feature in online franchise? would love for me and my buddy to go through a multiple years while playing on the same team vs the cpu.

Re: Online Franchise - Virtual Profiles

Ian's busy at E3, if it's a good idea, I'm sure it'll find it's way to him somehow. We didn't even know about online franchise until last week, so I don't see how this could make it in. Would be nice if it could, but this is definitely a Madden 11 feature.

Wonder how they handle players who don't play their games in the online franchise. Definitely needs to be one of our top questions when we get more Online Franchise information.

Online franchise question

Maybe someone knows the answer to this.

Can I start an online franchise with me and 31 cpu opponents, just so I can take advantage of all the Internet updating stuff?

From Pastapadre's Twitter:

@Jstein2469 no coop within franchise. Coop is basically for just one off games or for practice. 2 user vs cpu

This is some cooler news from his Twitter, though:

Nice thing about OF is they have it server based so they can add, adjust even after release

Re: Online franchise question

I am note sure. But why would you do it with all 31 teams been AI. That would be boring. You mind aswell play offline franchise mode instead. The whole deal with online franchise mode is to play with friends.

Re: Online franchise question

Yes. From Pastapadre's Twitter:

You can do online franchise in madden by yourself even in madden 10. Awesome

That's going to be sweet. Everything outside of gameday will be available from the web-based interface... should make life a lot easier if I end up not doing an online franchise with other people.

Because I could do things like mess with my depth chart online, check out my stats, etc...
And I defy anyone to find a league of 32 reliable players.

Re: Online franchise question

what about doing this so you and a buddy can play online co-op in a franchise mode... is this possible? confirmed?

Because he wants to play with the web based stuff
