    Madden 11's Redesigned Franchise Mode (Wii)

    WTF is this? What is going on over at EA Tiburon?



    E3 2010: Madden NFL 11's Redesigned Franchise Mode
    Now sporting an entire town to grow and improve with good play on the field.
    June 14, 2010

    Even though the Franchise Mode in the next-gen versions of Madden NFL 11 is staying largely unchanged, less the typical yearly tweaks, that's not stopping EA Sports from retooling everyone's favorite mode on Wii. Users can expect an entirely new interface and more interaction and activities to do outside the football field. All of this, of course, is in addition to the requisite gameplay changes that accompany each installment in this hallowed franchise.

    Rather than presenting gamers with a typical menu-based interface for Franchise Mode, Madden NFL 11 on Wii is giving you an entire town that will grow or degrade, depending on your proficiency on the field. Different parts of the town will advance depending on which of your three team advisers you listen to. There's one to set team performance goals like a target number of wins, another to give you advice on how to make your fan base happy, and another is all about the Benjamins and is only concerned with money. They'll let you know your progress towards completing different goals and update you when it's time to move on to other challenges. Throughout your franchise you'll have the ability to accept or deny challenges set by your trio of advisers, and those decisions are largely what will determine the persona of your franchise.

    It's the Wii......you have to ask?

    You know how different the Wii version of Madden is from the 360/PS3 one, right? It's more comparable to the last-gen systems.

      How sad. Time to work on Wii franchise with some silly stuff, but not real franchise improvements for the other platforms.

      Only NCAA 11 this year.

          Before we lose our minds...

          I would bet a lot of money that the PS3/360 team doesn't have anything to do with the Wii team. Second, the team decided on the priorities. The Wii team probably thought (along with some marketers and higher-ups) that a silly Franchise mode addition would help sales.

          Ok, commence mind losing.

                I wasn't sure if EA understood what their customers wanted before....this pretty much does it for me.

                    This. I'm fairly certain that Ian and Co. are responsible for 360/PS3, not Wii...with that said, and with the target demographic for the Wii game being so different from that of the "beefier" systems, I dare say this is a good addition to that game. It makes it more cartoony sure, but it sure adds some depth and something new to it, don't it? It's more than "play game, simulate rest of week, play game." Can't fault them for trying something downright whimsical and engrossing for kids who just happen to be football fans.

                      You sir, think critically.

                        Madden on Wii is terrible anyway. I tried to play last years and the controls made no sense to me.

                          Haha I don't know whats worse; the idea of a town changing on the progress of the game, or the fact that they stole the idea for Assassin Creed 2?

                            I am running out to get a Wii tomorrow.
                            Gaming hard since 1988

                            I have won like 25 Super Bowls in Madden so I am kinda a big deal.

                              Is exactly what you are saying. And makes no sense.
                              It does make sense. NCAA 11 had time to make some pretty significant improvements. Madden didn't improve much.
