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

count me in.

I have been a big fan of the Head Coach 09 game and would like to be an assistant for this year's franchise mode. Count me in if you want. I'm reliable.

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

I know this isn't supposed to be an open forum, but for those who get picked here are a few ideas for the progression tuning that maybe someone wants to mention:

The concept of Booms/Busts is good but it needs to be tweaked and we need some control over it. If a player has an A potential there needs to be a # of factors that will dictate whether he reaches it or not...besides just the potential rating.

Manual training drills need to be brought back into the game. These should allow us to manually add progression points ALONG WITH INCREASING THE CHANCES OF A PLAYER REACHING HIS POTENTIAL...if that player becomes one of our main focuses with training/practice. We need to have control over what players we focus the drills on and for those with a high potential this will play a siginificant part in determining how much they progress. So if we have a player with a B potential and one with an A potential. and we focus training/practice time on the B potential and not the A that player will still progress more than the A.

The point is I think we need some control but obviously some players given the same practice/training focus will progress much more than others.

I think the factors that should determine progression should be: Actual potential - Training/Practice - Age - Actual in game performance - Coaching. That's in order of importance. So each of those would have an effect but a different significance/weight on the total. So we have some control over it and enough variables to keep it interesting.

That's my .02

Also we need draftshare like NBA2k11...And the ability to edit every single player rookies/existing --- We need the ability to customize all attibutes.

I think what Josh Looman should do is pick a pool of people, and then have us (fellow OS'ers) vote on the guys he should pick with like a poll type thing. That way we know we are getting good quality guys helping on this aspect of the game. Cause anyone could tweet him and say I played offline franchise for 11teen seasons, and then it turns out their attention to detail isn't what some other guy's could be, and that they don't care about certain aspects of the game that is more important to most other people.

That is just my thoughts.

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

I don't think he's looking for suggestions, just people to look at the stuff he already has.

Just scrap potential!!! Make progression based on how the player has played in their games. If people want to boost stats to make the game fun for them, then let them!!

Josh,

I don't understand how people enjoy Franchise mode, but I have a friend that is a DIE-HARD Franchise fiend that will be featured in the MaddenUnivesity.com Community Spotlight in two weeks...

He's a journalist who has covered the Ravens, Vikings, Panthers, and Redskins. He never plays 1v1, only offline franchise. He's not an OS member though... I'll forward him the link.

Think I would be good for this since I have done a fair bit of programming so understand the logic behind things but gave Madden11 a miss this year. Really like how he wants hardcore franchise guys, probably won't be giving Madden12 a miss so. Just for those that are picked I obviously like things tuned in line with real life as much as possible but under done is better than over done. It's a fine line between challenging and frustrating. Best of luck and thanks for the effort.

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

Would love to participate and I think this is a cool move to reach out to the community, but I sorta disqualify myself in that I didn't even complete a single season of franchise in Madden 11. I do hope that changes this upcoming year.

This is what I would love to see as well.

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

it is great that there is interaction with the operation sports community again from the madden team.
but from a personal stand point having us jump threw hoops to help going threw twitter wich i feel is for twerps ill pass i did join made a account because i have alot of wonderful idea's and would be a great person to hear what was in the works. but when i tried to send you a message it says i could not do it because you were not following my blog, but yet your telling us we need to have facebook as well.

That is a'lot to ask just to help, it should be threw here not some outside site it seems to me your using or want to use facebook or twitter as a selling tool to get people excited about your game rather than tell us what is in store. this site has done alot for your game and a strong core of madden players come here so why don't you go threw here.

anyways if you are in charge of the franchise aspect of the game i know it is in good hands good luck Josh.

How about instead of being an internet tough guy and insulting people over the internet, you actually elaborate?

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

Well I didn't play franchise in M11 (since I didn't buy it) so I guess I'm disqualified. But good luck to those that are chosen, hopefully this yields the results needed to get Franchise mode in Madden back on track.

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

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.

Amen, I only attempted M-11 on the PS2, so I don't think that I would be a candidate (even though I have been an Offline only player since the inception of Madden, and a huge F-Mode guy). And I don't Tweet or Facebook, so I guess I will be out in the cold on this one.

I wish that I could put some input into aspects of Offline F-Mode. Esp. since progression/regression and the potential rating, have been two of my biggest gripes of the PS3/360 versions of Madden. I hope that the group that you pick (or have picked) is worthy.

Josh, it is nice to see you out of the MUT hole and back to where you really shine. It's funny, just seeing your thread has boosted my anticipation for M-12's F-Mode. Give'em hell Mr. Looman, You can be the savior of Madden for all of us Offliners.

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

I was worried that the "franchise overhaul" promised last year for this year was scrapped, due in part to the departure of Ian.

If I could only nominate, I would to throw Playmakers in the discussion. So, hopefully he has already thrown his name in.
