Many of us have waited along time for EA to implement Online Franchise into Madden. As many of us anxiously wait for this game to release and we find out new and additional information from hands on previews, I wanted to see how many of us would like for EA to start adding things to the mode server side as they said they are capable of.
Although I'm excited about the mode, I'm puzzled as to why the little things are missing, such as a salary cap, realistic trades, the 'QB Rating' stat, and at least 15-20 seasons (I would like to see 30yrs). Even though these aren't mode killers for most of us, these are the nuts and bolts to having a 'True' franchise. It should mimic the offline mode in every aspect. If enough of us request for these 'nuts' and 'bolts' to be added I am confident EA will hear us as they did throughout this recent development cycle.
So hear are my requests with the reasons why:
1) Salary Cap: this affects how owners draft (especially with the initial fantasy draft), manage your team (free agency, trades, releases, etc)
2) Realistic Trades: If we see it in the off-season and sometimes during the season, we should see it in Madden. Trading draft picks, future draft picks, and multiple player/team trades (even the ability to trade a coach).
3) Accurate Statistics: Simply put, stats measure performance. For the QB rating to be missing in the game is unacceptable. All of the stats we are familiar with should be available for us to breakdown and analyze.
4) More seasons (Up to 30): With only 10 seasons available, there is not a lot of potential to develop players (draft picks) and for there to be a lot of turnover throughout the franchise with organizations going through ups and downs and such. The majority likely wouldn't get to 30yrs, but it should be made possible especially if regular games are simulated just to play the playoffs.
If you agree and have ideas, please add to it so we can get our requests updated through the server. The way EA developed it is great and has lots of potential and if handled properly, I know many of us would play until Aug 2010.
