    I'd love to do this but simply lack time.

    Imo, if they really wanted to improve franchise mode, they'd take what they did in HC '09 and introduce it in to Madden's franchise mode.

        This bums me out. Once again, sounds to me like online franchise will be blanked again in favor of beating the crap out of the computer.

          Re: Madden NFL 12 - Looking For a Few Good Franchise Fans!

          I would love to do this, but I don't have a twitter account and have no intention of ever creating one :P

          I play sports games just for their franchise mode. I have three different football games on my desktop alone (PFS, Football Mogul, and UFL) and I in madden I'm more interested in who goes where, how guess progress, ect.

          Their are a few things I would say need to be added... or rather one thing.

          Majesty
          -This is what I like to refer to it as. It is the ability for a game to remain interesting after the first season and even after all of the real players are gone.

          How this is achieved
          -Quasi-realistic player pics. NBA 2k11 and MLB the Show are fairly good representatives of this. In 2k11 the picture on the roster matches the player in the game... this is indispensable. Also, they seem to be fairly unique. When a game has only a few (hundred) pictures in the database to draw from it is almost worse than having no picture at all. A random face generator for each player would be the most ideal, but I'm not sure how realistic that is.

          -Stats: gotta have them. I mean what round they were taken in and what year along with college (college stats, accolades), that kind of thing. I hate it when games don't have great stat representation (MLB the Show I am looking at you). Also it irks me when the stat sheets fail to mention clearly what team they were playing on during a given year (NHL 11).

          -DRAFT PRESENTATION!!!!!!- Herein lies the short-route to success. What I want is for an animated draft show with Mel Kiper Jr. or just some random freaking guy off the street you payed $20 to read a script for a few hours. They should read a bunch of generic comments (couple thousand) about players and then link those comments to certain statistical or positional triggers from each player.

          Example: <Name> had a stellar senior year at <college> which really boosted his draft stock. He through for 2800 yards, 21 Touchdowns, and had a QB rating of 130. He made the <specific> bowl and won throwing for 354 yards and 2 Touchdowns. He is projected to go 7th in the draft to the Minnesota Vikings.

          I don't care how generic the guy sounds. I don't care how awkward the video is. I just want it in their. If nobody likes it, well, they can skip it.

          Weekly TV Show- This is a little further out they, but I would like to see a weekly TV show, like 2k5 had, with maybe some guy from ESPN or something. I DON'T CARE WHO IT IS. It could be Woody Paige from Around the Horn for all I care, I just want to see it. Again, this would be best animated. I suggest for both this and the Draft Presentation to use the motion capturing devices that Rockstar is using for LA Noire. It would take longer, but the results speak for themselves. I would also like a playoff preview, weekly draft update, season preview (would be really sweet), ect.

            Josh does that mean progression, re-sign logic, draft trades, etc not in online franchise then?

              I sent you a tweet, @InfinityWardFan. Would love to have a chance to aid in the development of my favorite game mode.

                      Josh, I tried to send you a message, not sure if it worked. I don't use twitter much, but I would love to help. I am a huge offline franchise guy.
                      Thanks.

                        Man, I would looooove to help out with this. Offline franchise is all I play. With NFL being #1 for me and Madden being the only NFL game, I'd say offline franchise in Madden is probably the single most important aspect in gaming for me.

                        Unfortunately, I don't have Twitter, and I didn't play M11. (When they said there were no upgrades to offline franchise in M11, it was pointless for me to buy it.)

                        Those of you who do get in, do us proud.

                          I played the piss out of my madden 2011 franchise, and did the draft classes and all that from NCAA. For anyone questioning my depth in a dynasty/franchise mode, please see the link in my sig to my Virginia Tech dynasty on NCAA 2011. I guess you could say that I am a "little" hardcore into offline dynasties/franchise.

                          BUT, I don't have twitter .

                          I really wished I could participate in this. I have facebook, but not twitter.

                            Tweet sent.

                            Really hoping to help out. I only play offline Franchise Mode. I have never played anything but.
                            Don't look back too long and don't look too far ahead.

                              I don't think it was meant like that, I think he meant he didn't want online franchise only guys to be apart of the group. The online guys didn't have interaction with the tune-able logic he is trying to get feedback on.
