Madden NFL 12 Blog - No Additions This Year For Online Franchise Mode

[Elgin2311]

Not buying..I was gonna pre order when I pick up college but not anymore. Im glad for the offline people who finally get the updates they have been waiting for. But after you master the cpu online dynasty is the only way to satisfy that competitive desire, thats what makes the NFL.great. This games is seriously misguided if they think neglecting online dynasty and putting a feature like superstar mode before it. You must give us the opportunity to recreate what goes on outside of sunday's against competent users, instead of broken cpu logic thats the same for every team. I haven't bought madden since 10 and that got traded in after that BS they called a draft. Honestly ive been annoyed with the 2k posters, but im starting to think maybe another games is needed. I want options as to what football game I want to play. This is beyond lackluster. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame one me! No way not me, and what about this announcement I can guarantee it will cost. They introduce new "features" without addressing existing ones, were buying the same game expecting a different result that my friends is called insanity.insane for thinking to expect change, what they are giving us is what we deserved since next gen consoles arrived.

I haven't bought madden since 10 ... were buying the same game expecting a different result

So which is it, you haven't bought Madden since 10 and quickly traded it in, or 'were [sic] buying the same game...'

that my friends is called insanity.insane for thinking to expect change, what they are giving us is what we deserved since next gen consoles arrived.

What is this thread? You have the ability to make an informed decision, there is no 'insanity' involved, you know online franchise wasn't addressed with Madden 12, you aren't challenged by the computer, easy decision.

It's disappointing, sure, but there's little need for all the dramatics.

This is a complete disgrace.

My group will NOT be purchasing Madden 12.

Looks like this will be another NCAA year for us.

Online Dynasty is ahead of the game by far. NCAA 12 is looking much better now.

Can't say I'm surprised. I'm just glad there is alot of other good games coming out this year to keep me busy.

Its a shame online franchise didnt get a upgrade along with offline franchise.

[xbreezex]

I mean seriously, for those who even such as thought that they would improve this is lethargic. Don't take this personal but you got to think. Why would they put an online version of an offline mode when the whole game is still broken? I would imagine at this state, they would fix the core things over something relatively new. Suck it up.

I'm really baffled that after so many improvements to the game, people still expected some major overhaul to be done to Online Franchise. I mean come on. You guys fail to realize how short the dev cycle is for these games. They had to prioritize this year just like every year. And this year was all about DPP and offline franchise. We knew this going in to this development cycle. Why are we acting so surprised, and upset?

running out of time shouldnt be allowed to be considered an excuses. roy harvey shouldnt be looked at as the savior either. if its not a complete game dont put it out straight up. just another sign that EA is lazy and takes advantage of being the only game in town. this is the most ive ever heard of ppl being ok with offline franchise mode. who plays a game to play the cpu only? shooters are different as far as story mode goes. this is a sports game. player vs player the same thing 3 years in a row shouldnt be ok with anyone who knows where apf 2k8 was 4 years ago to this madden right now. they are behind and stay behind cause they "run out of time"

Why take shots at people that play a different mode than you? I don't play OF, but I don't wish any ill will that people that do.

To each their own.

There is a difference between them not doing a "major overhaul" and them leaving it EXACTLY the same for 3 yrs now...

I can't speak for everyone, but I at least expected they would add some simple things like random draft classes or complete stats

It is surprising to me because so much effort was put forth in so many other areas besides online franchise. If there isn't enough "time" to complete a task then management and or ownership should reallocate resources accordingly. This would go a long way toward establishing repeat and referral business with the customer base, increasing shareholders value, and increasing profitability in the short and long term.

For some reason I thought we were told early on that we would in fact have new draft classes with randomized player names and potentials in online franchise. Is my mind playing tricks on me on this one?

Lethargic? They are tired? Have no energy?
