Which is more important, deep franchise mode or consecutive hit tackling ?

[LiquorLogic]

I love franchise, but what good is a deep franchise mode if I have to deal with "tumbleweed tackling" when I play the games ?

Franchise. Easy.

Seeing as how i dont play online at all, and I didnt have consecutive hit tackling last gen but still enjoyed playing Madden, I will say franchise mode.

Since Next Gen Madden Franchise is not even up to par with last gen franchise, I'm reduced to playing "Play Now" now games all year round.


And we shouldnt have to "choose" either or.
What do the people who work on the Franchise stats/features have to do with the people who work on player animations.
That's two separate departments.

Even though I really want a great franchise mode, I would rather see defense in general fixed. If you limit it to just tackling, then I have to say franchise mode as more important.

BOTH. Both should be in the game anyway.

Tackling is more important, franchise is overdo. If I were EA, I would be working on franchise and presentation at this point with minor work on game play. While game play is important, Madden is stale. This is of course just one man's opinion.

I agree, stick with basics and build a great game first, the side stuff like franchise can be always amended later b/c at least it's fundamentals are solid for game's overall replay value (although not as good as it could be if EA just listened to fans).

If you think Madden is stale then wouldn't you want consecutive hit tackling? Wouldnt you want gameplay first?

And how long is that going to take?
I've been hearing that since 2006 came out.
"Get the gameplay perfect first, iron out all the bugs, then work on other areas"

Who knows when that will be.
I sure dont have any faith in EA that will be any time soon.
Every year there's a game crippling bug of some sort.
You might as well give me an appetizer (Franchise Mode) in the meantime, while i wait for something that's most likely going to take YEARS to get right (Gameplay).

At the very least, I can Coach mode my franchise while i wait for the gameplay to be ironed out.

Both are crucial but I would have to say franchise mode.

What fun is it to play a franchise when players bounce off tackles?

Gameplay should be #1 focus in all sports games first imo.

Depends on your level of tolerance. If you can deal with the tackling issues while you're properly scouting scouting college players, managing your contract situations, making decisions as to whether or not you want to pay an aging vet his roster bonus or cut him, bidding on FA's total contract before figuring out how to structure it (if you win the bid war,) etc. Then obviously you're going to say franchise.

If you're a person who can have all of that but would still be pulling your hair out over the tackles, or lack thereof, then we know which way you're going to lean.

Personally I say franchise (I'm skipping Madden 11 this year because franchise is exactly the same, so that alone shows my mindset on this issue.)

No brainer-Franchise mode. Any tackling issues can be fixed with sliders. It might not be ideal, but tackling is closer to being correct than Franchise mode at the moment.

Re: Which is more important, deep franchise mode or consecutive hit tackling ?

I sure we can have both. But if I had only one choice. It would be a deep franchise mode instead. I'm happy with the current tackle system that is madden 11. I much wheather see them be working on franchise mode for madden 12 then the tackling system. The Tackling system can always be tuned some. But franchise mode is more important right now.

This is like asking a baby right before he is born, "Ok, big guy..we are ready to put you out into the world. One more thing. You have a choice. Would you like a brain or a heart?"
