1) Online Franchises (check)
2) Online Coop v. CPU (check)
3) Online Coop in an Offline Franchise. . .

Does Madden 10 permit a person to join me in an offline franchise? I bet I know the answer. THIS is the single feature that matters to me. Online franchises are a trainwreck, scheduling is a headache, and they are rarely lasting. Online coop v. CPU is a pathetic feature if it is limited to exhibition games. EA: CONNECT THE DOTS. This is not rocket science. Allow me to sign on, grab my brother, and start ripping a franchise. I'm in law school in Minnesota. He lives in Colorado. You might not believe how many consumers are in a similar position. Instead of jamming ads down our throats that tell us what features we'll love, why don't you take a poll? For the love of God, stop with the mini-games and address the feature that most people purchase your game for.
You mean to tell me that in the EA Boardroom, or in the booth you morons reserve at Chucky Cheese, nobody advanced the idea of extending coop to an offline franchise? Have you intentionally thrown this on the back-burner for next year? Do you think that consumers will just endure your baby-step marketing model forever?
Capitalism would have buried you if you didn't have a kung-fu grip on the NFL's tit and if 2K flexed a little hard-earned muscle. How did you get the exclusive right to drop the ball every year? This EA Sports--ESPN--NFL threesome needs to be challenged. EA, you are dangerously complacent with an absolute cash cow. Sooner or later a company is going to knock you on your ***. 2K would have made you look like you were running in quick-sand. You're a joke.

PROS: The gameplay is pretty good. The player-ratings seem thoughtful. The graphics are solid. The franchises progress pretty well. All of this --- THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE HARD PART.

CONS: You invest far too much time and money in creating new features for people to ignore. It is mind boggling. Let NFL Blitz handle the six year-old demographic. Or, if you insist on keeping these shoddy game modes, just hire a few more guys to work on the one that people actually play. You use a fraction of your disc's capacity -- believe me, it's possible. Let players play cooperatively over xbox live in offline franchises. Also, let people play 11 on 11 online -- in a franchise even. Impossible? Take a look at NHL 09, or the FIFA series. By now you should be closer to 11 v 11 than 1 v 1. You're a joke, try to keep up. Pony up a 20-spot for commentators to say a few lines that actually make you feel like you're in the playoffs. Your overall presentation in franchise mode has been so poor. I hear you have a superbowl presentation this year. Kudos. That thing should be like ****ing Woodstock, and it should have been on every single Madden game you've ever produced. We play your game to win the super bowl in a franchise. Take a poll. Stop spending on commercials that showcase views that aren't relevant in the actual game --- and use that money to hire. Hire people that know football, or hire people that know gaming, or get crazy and hire both. I will buy your game, but know this: I've abandoned EA in every series where it is still possible, solely for the way you handle Madden. And the second Madden is confronted with anything that could remotely be considered a competitor, I will be his customer to lose.
