Ian, great stuff man. I have to say I am in the offline franchise only group. I'm 30, have a family, and a career so I have limited time when I play. I don't like playing human vs human games and never have. Since I have always played franchise mode that is what appeals to me. I would think age would be a factor on what mode you play and how. I'm high school history teacher and I hear students talking all the time about getting in a few games when they get home with other students. That is how they enjoy the games they play. I don't see any enjoyment in that.

Hmm...I wonder why Ian asked Pasta about his expectations for Madden 14 ? Not Madden 13, or 15, but Madden 14 ? Is there anything special happening that year ?Comment

I haven't heard this one yet but I've enjoyed the podcasts so far, I think they are still very limited in terms of content (thank you EA Marketing) but they will be so much more fun when you guys can start revealing stuff.
Madden 10 & 11 have definitely been the best ps3 versions I've played & am looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few year, have big hopes for franchise in 12 since that's all I really play in all the EA titles (FIFA, NHL etc), the main reasons I avoid online for Madden are because the service down here in Australia can be shoddy at times & also I just enjoy franchise more.Comment

Curious why he would ask about Madden 14 in general. I haven't got to listen yet so I don't know the context.Comment

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
I like the overall direction of Madden. By Madden 13, the game should be at a elite level because of multi-year features.
My main concern is that the game is headed for mostly online features. I not an online guy at all. I mainly use online for updates. But I understand that online is a big thing in almost every game. You have to cater to the majority. Ex. major problem- bad online service vs. minor problem- "scrap SS mode". You have to fix major problems first. I am a big Be a pro guy but if there was a priority list SS mode should not be at the top of the list. But they should continue to improve offline modes. SS mode has gotten so boring that most people dont even think of playing it thats why it is one of the least played modes. Onlines is and will be a major priority, but offline should be improved every year even if it is small.Comment

Best podcast I've heard so far! It rubs me a little hearing the madden crew constantly mention the "damned if you do damned if you dont" stuff. I understand that the communities are horrible at times but most of it is just to getc a rise out of them. They true general gaming population are pretty level headed and know there is not such thing as a perfect games and understand how hard they work.
Podcast seemed productive and even though im not a big fan of pastapadre I felt hey held his own and had valid points. I have not doubt madden will be good next year as it was this year. The question is will it be great? Will it be a big jump forward?Comment

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
I didn't listen to the podcast and don't want to, but I do have one question. Are we going to have a real online franchise mode in 12 ? You know a finsished product. Salary cap, trade logic etc...

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
I'm wondering the same thing. It seems they don't realize that the reason people don't play it is because it's not finished. It's more of a "season" mode than an actual "franchise" mode.PSN - Splff3000

Re: Madden NFL Designers Podcast #4 w/ Special Guest, Pasta Padre Available Now
It's only December, no official news has been released yet and in this podcast they noted how the community is split between strictly offline and strictly online gamers. If they totally ignore online and concentrate strictly on offline franchise, I have a feeling they will get the same reaction from the community Madden 11 got, only in reverse and I think they would like to avoid that scenario.Comment

Hmmm, I wonder how hard it would be for them to just mod HC 09 into Madden 11 for the offline players and down the road make it for the online crowd.
Making HC09's franchise online would be a daunting task so make that the long term goal for madden 13 or 14 but please give us offline players some love...
I have faith in Ian and crew, they can get this done....
