NCAA 11 it is!

UNF*##$@!%$-BELIEVEABLE!

Every optimistic "EA will save it for E3" guy needs to get off the EA (Madden) wagon RIGHT NOW.

NCAA 11 is looking awesome.

This whole thread is hilarious. The haters been lurking waiting for something to bite on, lol. Running around talking about "the whole world plays offline franchise", this that and the third, and there's all of about 7 of yall in here, lol.

Everybody you know plays franchise? What about, everybody I know doesn't touch it at all. Open up your minds, the world doesn't revolve around what YOU like. This community is very small compared to the general madden population I'm sure.

Not buying 11 because of no additions to franchise correct? I bet ya'll lump lumps bought 10 didnt you? So I know for a fact you're lying with the "no buy for me" bullcrap, for the simple fact that if franchise is so important to you, and you played madden 10, there's absolutely no reason NOT to buy 11 because it does have SOME improvements to franchise. Read the article again if you missed it.

Every year is going to be an improvement over the last year in pretty much all categories somehow someway. So if you dealt with 10s franchise mode, you'll most definitely deal with 11s because its GOING to be better.

Oh and by the way I'm a heavy sim style franchise player myself, just a little more real than most of ya'll, lol. See you in the madden impressions thread after release.

Over 30 pages of replies since around midnight says that people are VERY angry. You are simply trying to stir the pot.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: E3 Feature Announcement and Career Modes Update

already knowing nothing in the world is perfect, all i can say is i hope the gameplay is MUCH improved. we have been saying they need to fix the core problems instead of adding on to the game, and it seems thats what they are shooting at. if the franchise stats are fixed and they made some draft adjustments then the mode should hopefully get us by if the gameplay is what i hope it to be. broken stats was one of the most griped about problems in '10. so any improvement should make the game better. im not an online player but face it guys, its 2010, not 1985. thats where the improvements are gonna be seen in practically every game. i just hope '12 will blow us away and that they fix the gameplay issues this year. i dont think it will be as bad as we think. plus if they wouldve announced an all new franchise mode this year, there would be 30 pages of posts that gameplay shouldve been fixed first. we all know that. so take it for what it is and enjoy it as best as you can. because we are all buying it no matter what.

The Cowboys drafting Dez Bryant played a role! A $39.99 game update (rosters & announcers with game tweaks and franchise tweaks)!

^^39.99 dollar game? thought it was 59.99?


Uahhh ,I was really hoping this was a nightmare,,,but I wake up and its still here.

So what has Looman done since 10 came out.Work on those cards?

I really cant believe they add in Gameflow and Gameplan and nothing to Franchise.
What ever happened to those easy updates for Online Franchise.I thought they could update it anytime becaue it was diff than NCAA's Dynasty?

I could tell Phil why no one played Online Franchise( I played till I got to the offseson and found out its practically a Online Leadue)
But I think alot of other people have already done that.

I really cant believe this is happenning .REALITY CHECK! really sinking in.Im just lost about Madden,If Im purchasing it or not.Geez I dont even know how to explain myself.

I mean wasnt this the year for FRANCHISE?! Didnt they tell us that 10 would be the building the foundation game for Franchise ? Hate is a strong word.But man whoever said theres a thin line between love and hate wasnt kidding

Mr. Frazier......

What I want to know is if another team is dedicated just to redo franchise mode and make it great for Madden 12, why couldnt you just do it this year?

And furthermore, Mr. Frazier, why would you ask the modes fans to give you ideas when they've populated most boards wishlists for years now? It comes across as a lame way of attempting to get us excited about your news and is borderline insulting.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: E3 Feature Announcement and Career Modes Update

wished they were adding new things to franchise (practice squads, preseason roster cutdowns, etc...), but am fine with the direction they are seemingly taking. No matter how deep or robust franchise mode is, if the gameplay on the field is severely lacking, then it makes the robust franchise all for not.

Not that to start a comparison trend, but I can't help but remain optimistic since this is the same approach SCEA took with The Show and its franchise mode, at least thats how I view it. They tweaked the franchise they had in place until the game on the field was, well, where they wanted it as a whole. After that, they added features to the franchise mode to make it as robust as it is now.

A couple of months ago the EA store had a code available to where you could get $20 off the purchase of Madden 11 and NCAA 11 (using the code for each seperatley)! They also chipped in Free Shipping!

I don't care that it might take a week or two.......For $20 off, I'll wait! Plus, both games will probably need to be patched.

Re: Madden NFL 11 Blog: E3 Feature Announcement and Career Modes Update

I'm really shocked at the timing of this news. Why would they announce that they aren't adding new features to franchise before E3 and say they are building it from the ground up for Madden 12? It makes zero sense and just about kills the excitement for Madden 11 and for E3. I was looking forward to E3 to hear about franchise, as I'm sure most people were. There is nothing to look forward to for E3 at all.
