Re: Why only 10 years for OF?

I don't mind the length at all. I bet most don't even make it through 3 years without crashing due to player commitment issues.

Also, logistically it seems necessary, as Looman said he hand-crafted all the drafts and checked them for accurate progression. That's a lot of players to control, and it's absolutely essential to having a working and believable franchise mode. Ten years probably represented the limit of controlled and accurate draft design the team could do. If that's the case, smart move.

They need continuity. I'm hoping that M11 will provide the ability to import an M10 franchise.

The positive of Online Franchise is that it is hosted on its own server so the Madden Dev. team will be able to make changes to it on the fly. Hopefully this issue will be addressed or Ian & Company will be able to give us a few options to manage it in our OF's.

I won't hold my breath, but that would certainly be nice.

I dont think we'll ever see that happening. That sounds like a logistical nightmare.

I don't see how free agency is going to work. Is it going to be first come first serve since everyone can pay as much as they want?

Re: Why only 10 years for OF?

My guess is because Madden 2011 will be out by the time you get the players to actually start and finish it. Having a 30yr online franchise is like getting your 5 year old daughter a 20pc nugget meal. Too much....and a waste.

Exactly my frined. 10 years should be more then enough. With people working during the day and kids going to school alday and also people playing offline franchise aswell like I will be doing. !0 years is more then enough years for online franchise.

I hope it doesn't come to that... it will kill the NFL as we know it.

Good question.

There would be no true bidding involved. What would stop a guy from paying someone $20 million a year to get their guy?

What a flop this could turn out to be.

Did you ask them why salary cap wasn't in ? Did you stress its importance? Did you press them on the issue, or did you just shut up ? If so what was their answer ?

It'll only last a year, chicken little.

Yes... I didn't need too, they know... yes, no... their answer was harsh truth, but not something I'm comfortable repeating publicly.

It's a bit arrogant of us to think we know what's important but they don't. I promise you, they're not happy shipping like this.
