Pass. I'm hoping this is not the start of the show taking the same route EA did with their sports games.

Franchise mode is my main mode like most of us guys on here. But, I enjoy DD and enjoyed the improvements to last years mode. These two new modes look like an extension and will defiently give them a nice look.

I'm actually not worried about them giving attention to DD. Unlike madden, the show dev team puts in hard work every cycle for each new game. Now with much revenue they can make from this I'm actually excited to see what's to come for future titles with new technology being invested.

I wonder what they constitute as "playing" as well?

I would always go in and look at the cards, and sold a few doubles that I had. Placed some players at some positons, and played a game or two for the trophies. But I never touched it again after that.

Whereas RTTS I played consistently every day for months, and occasionally dabbled in Franchise.

Technically I played all 3 modes, but I wasn't actually playing DD.

Same here with other modes. I may touch everything, but I don't say I play online franchise for instance. I wonder if they know how much each individual plays and have a threshold of what constitutes "played". That way people can vote with their play time and we can't be disappointed when resources are spent on the most popular and in the case of DD, most profitable modes.

I know if you check out your player card there is a breakdown of how much experience you've gained from each mode. I'm sure the devs have access to that as well. They probably just add up total experience gained from all players and look at the lump sum total.

While I do think this would be a fair way to judge usage and popularity, I think that franchise would get the shaft a little bit, just because us franchisers will inevitably dabble with the other modes just for fun, while I doubt many people outside of our merry group dabble in franchise.

However, without evidence to back up my claim, it's just hearsay.

Yea and how dare someone has concerns about the show or voices their opinion on something they probably won't be interested in without getting blasted for it on here

They should voice those concerns with some substance and intelligence.


This forum is also slanted towards the "traditional" gaming experience so it's also not accurate to depict the forum how you are.

As someone, who is losing free time to play as I get older, DD mode is absolutely the BEST.

I was into Franchise (still try to play a season though), but with DD I can manage my playtime better.

If I have just 40 minutes to play I do it with my fantasy team and I don't have to worry about finishing a 162 games season.

I think they really nailed DD and the online netcode last year and thanks to the extra money they earned through selling Stubs they could improve the game more.

DD is the mode that makes possible to improve the game more, so as a business model you have to make sure it's even compelling and even better. This year SonySD is going to lay a rock solid foundation of DD, which they can improve upon all the other game modes.

By the way I think Franchise is very solid right now and I'm sure I'll start a season with my RedSox.

I think SonySD has proved to be listening to the fans so I have trust in them to improve the game every year. I has been said a plenty of times, that they are a small team and they need to prioritize. I can't blame them for that.

In Sony San Diego we TRUST!

You'll Never Walk Alone!

This is true but even when people do that I see them get ripped to shreds.

I'll most likely try battle royale, as it sounds like a good way to earn DD content free. I'm unsure what logic is being used by those calling this mode a "money grab". It doesn't cost anything to play, and allows players to earn DD content without spending money. Therefore being opposite of a "money grab."

Everything pertaining to DD is bad to them. They feel threatened by it.

I did see the fact sheet for Online Franchise! It was awesome!

1) Online Play Stabilized
2) Score Posts fixed
3) Remains untouched for 3 years

In the live franchise stream last week, Ramone said they focused this year on offline franchise, he mentioned how many players play each, online/offline franchise, offline had a significantly more, i wanna say online had like 55,000 and offline was something like 400,000. Something in that neighborhood

From now on we'll all use your posts as an example of how to post. As they are truly a beacon of substance and intelligence.
