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

This is what we get with only one company making a NFL game. Last year they didn't touch the presentation and franchise aspect of the game, this year online franchise. Guys it's a game EA is playing, they have to do this to make the game marketable every year. 2013 it will be online franchise and commentary, 2014 halftime show and foot planting...etc. I just pray that when the license expires in 2013, the NFL will allow other companies to make a game and end this madness.

I'm with you....I'm on offline guy...like some play now games online but no real interest in online dynasty/franchise stuff. Feel bad for the guys that do though....and you're right....sounds like whatever they did to offline franchise may be with us a while as they shift attention....sigh....no offense to the online guys but I wish they'd get the offline chise right first. It'll be much better but I'm hoping for more...and soon. too bad they can't work on both (why can't the offline just be transported to online...I'm no computer whiz but in theory it sounds easy.)

No offense taken ha. They need to build a strong franchise period. NCAA is about the same online as off. Madden has a little more challenge putting in a draft and free agency but it shouldn't be that hard. I always give the guys making these games the benefit of the doubt, but when they don't change the biggest thing I care about I don't care about the game.

I was sooooo pumped for this game and now I won't even buy it.

I can understand your fear of this, but it really shouldn't have any effect. They need to bridge online and offline so that there is one mode. Myself and a few others on here have talked about this to no end. Simply enabling many people to play in a franchise should not detract from adding features to the franchise mode. Think of it like a cooperative mode for campaigns in a shooter. Some guys want to play in a franchise with 3 or 4 of their buddies. We're all too old to go over to each other's houses now . This shouldn't be that hard, and had they had the foresight to see this 3 years ago, they would have already been there by now. The fact is they didn't so here we are. Let's hope the get it right for 13.

Re: Online Franchise Information has been released by EA SPORTS

My only question ..

Will DPP still effect ONLINE FRANCHISE on a week to week basis??

[obmij76]

EA should be embarrassed with the type of product that they put out with Madden. There are millions of people who look forward to this game every year solely because they love to play online. How can they ignore all of the people who make up the online community? It baffles me how they can continue to produce such a stale product yet people keep buying the game.

Oh and how many people actually still play Offline Franchise? Boring!

Sorry, not Madden 12.

Huge upgrades for Franchise Mode. The disc will now stay in the tray year around if they come through with the goods.

There should be no difference. It is 2011.

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

So let me get this straight.....3 straight years and at the very least they couldn't add sliders to online franchise?

sliders are the determining factor for me in this game.....ALL MADDEN against the cpu was just way too easy. No way to run a franchise with 5-10 ppl when every cpu game is guaranteed win.

Obviously, more people would play OF if the mode wasn't completely broken.

If offline franchise didn't have a salary cap, proper Free Agency and you couldn't import draft classes from NCAA etc; I'd go out on a limb and say not many people would want to play it either. Do you agree?

I hope it is, that alone would make online franchise much better. No player would be a sure bet for the next game.

But i doubt it smh
