This would be HUGE for me. Being able to tinker with my franchise while away from my PC, like drafting trading, etc, would be the best thing since . . . well, a really good thing. One question, if folks know - I only play offline franchise - would an app (or a website) work for that or does one need an online franchise?

Re: No Franchise Mode Website at Launch For Madden NFL 17, Companion App Possibly Com
I'm hoping that this app will offer some way of extracting team information in CSV or similar. I'm a spreadsheet geek and love expanding on the GM side of the game in this way.
I wish they would consider publishing details of a full public API for those who would like to make use of it. You could access it previously (that's how DaddyLeagues did it) but you needed to know where to look, and working out how to handle rate limits was an excercise of trial and error. Now, I'm really glad I didn't spend the last couple of months building my own companion app using the old access points!Comment

Hoooo boooy, is that going to be the ETA on getting DL up and running as well?
I know it says "We will not be able to sign/release and trade players from the site" hopefully we'll be able to spend XP, that's a biggie for me.
I started my CFM last night, it's killing me not being able to access it via the web here at my work.Last edited by BadAssHskr; 08-24-2016, 10:39 AM."Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game. In the deed the glory."Comment

This seems a little short sighted by the Madden Dev team. Seems like they should at least support Daddyleagues and their functionality unless they have something better up their sleeves. I know Daddyleagues is pretty important in the success of many online CFMs.Comment

Totally agree, i don't care if they don't want to support their website, but at least let me log in select my franchise and grab a franchise ID. If they need to do maintenance at DL when it gets close, a few days down time then is better than being completely shut out now."Not the victory but the action. Not the goal but the game.

Calling it now......this app won't be out before November. If it is out pre-November it won't have near the functionality that we want. Anybody want to take a bet?Comment

EA hasn't even updated their site to Madden 17 ultimate
I find Daddyleagues similar to a site called MUTHEAD. MH is basically the database/forum for ultimate team. They are allowed to promote new cards before release and there is clearly a open partnership. It works.
Dev team focuses on creating new cards and MUTHEAD focuses on new website features to assist players.
The same should be for CFM, in my opinion. Outsource the online companion app/website and focus delivering patches and new features.Comment

Re: No Franchise Mode Website at Launch For Madden NFL 17, Companion App Possibly Com
Well, while i did prefer DL way of spending points alot over trying to do it on the EA website( because quite frankly DL just did a better job with it and many other features as well).I feel like since it was a function on the ea website ,you probably will be able to spend xp on app . i dont know that for sure, but just thinking if they already had it, probably being ported to app, maybe they took some notes from DL and fixed it to work better on app.
To me , as long as i can get a function for those things from app thats fine with me. DL still provides alot to a league for 2$ a month even without the advance button, trades,fa pick ups, and spending xp.
And i feel you on that last part. Id love to look over the test league i started at work right now.Guess ill have to be more productive instead. Maybe do another page layout haha.Comment

Damn, the DaddyLeagues pages used the EA website to get all the CFM info, stats, etc.
This explains why you can't purchase a page there for M17 yet. I'm sure it'll all workout soon.Comment

Sorry for the dumb question, but I don't do any online gaming at all - if I just want to do a solo Franchise (on PS4), can I do that without having Playstation Plus membership? I would love the ability to tinker with my Franchise away from my PS4 (presuming they do ever release the app), but I am not sure it would be worth getting PS+ just to do it. Thanks for the help!Comment

DL probably isn't going to work anymore after this switch...I really hope Papi refunds anyone who paid for a subscription for a '17 league....Comment

Re: No Franchise Mode Website at Launch For Madden NFL 17, Companion App Possibly Com
Yeah...I wouldnt get your hopes up of this getting fixed any time soon. Or that this so called APP will be everything franchise players dreamed of. I'm sure it will be heavily MUT focused since that's how EA/Madden makes money. If franchise stuff is even on the APP it will definitely be a after thought.
The crazy thing is Daddyleagues had no idea about this untill launch day. EA leaving us out to dry. Wants us all to play MUT and buy card packs.. smhComment
