    Idk, in nba users can control all the players on the court. I dont think team play works that well in football games because it's not as fun. In Madden they should have upped the number of users to 5 on 5, the more users the better.

      Lame it is for MUT as I never play that mode. Would be fun with draft champions and enough friends if that came down the road later.

        I almost vomited in my mouth at the thought of hearing 6 wankers smack talking each other all at once. 2 is bad enough....blah....blah...blah....

          Jake said they started with 3 because it just felt like the right number, but it can go up if thats what the community wants.

            Other sports games like NBA 2K and The Show don't back burner Franchise mode and authentic game-play for competitive play. Those franchises put tremendous effort into satisfying both crowds. I don't see why Madden can't do the same.

              I would say that franchise has definitely taken a back seat to Diamond Dynasty in MLB....IMO

                Hate to be negative but it seems like that's just where the majority is at this point. They're all kinds of ways they could've brought co-op play to Franchise.

                Just think if you have up to 9 roles you can play in an organization:

                Owner- Makes all decisions about relocation, stadium, hiring and firing football staff, heavily influences Football Ops.

                Director of Football Operations- Controls football operations, hires and fires staff and coaches, influences public relations, influences scouting, trainer, and GM

                General Manager- Signs and trades players, influences scouting and drafting.

                Director of Scouting and Development- Drafts and scouts players, influences coach and trainer on development

                Head Coach

                Defensive Coordinator

                Offensive Coordinator

                Offensive Captain

                Defensive Captain

                With all these roles influencing one another and trying to all win a championship. Would be a great mode for both casuals who just want to be players and forget the management roles or hardcore guys who want to control everything.

                  Understand and think it would be great, but that doesn't really equal extra $. They tie it in with MUT and it provides another extra revenue stream that builds on an already very profitable mode.

                    I would give MUT a try if players actually had signature animation packages. I've never understood the intrigue with MUT being that all players basically animate the same. For example, you can't tell the difference between a 99 overall Barry Sanders and a 99 overall Walter Payton except for their physical appearance, even though IRL their running styles were totally different smh. Until Madden is able to differentiate how players animate (especially sig running animations for RB's) I'm good on MUT.

                      I would argue that most people playing the mode don't care about signature animations or stylistically differentiating players in any way. They just want the 99 speed, juke, truck, hit power, etc, because it's really about them, the User, not the real life player that they are controlling.

                      Do the same thing tomorrow. And the next. Now do it forever.

                          Not one comment about the mention of "several gameplay changes." No one seems to care about the team making it fun to play different positions - like maybe say corner back or heck maybe even offensive lineman? The team brings back 3 vs 3 mode and alludes to the user having more control of different positions and brings more fun to the game and all i see is "EA only cares about MUT and making money" when LAST YEAR they revamped Franchise mode.

                          It seems like the gameplay is going to be extremely different this year. I'm excited.

                            If the gameplay changes allow CPU-controlled players to play more to their ratings, then yes...it is exciting. If it is just a user mechanic, then no...I really don't care. Just my opinion.
                            Play the games you love, not the games you want to love.

                              What exactly did they revamp? Just because they said it on the back of the box doesn't mean they did. You can bring guys back from injury a week or 2 early, and you can set your own season goal. So revamped......

                                Yeah. 3 v 3 makes sense for esports, for sure. Now, u will really have 'teams' of people that play together. And, the better they play together, the better, overall, they should be. And, I can see scenarios for gameplay conditions, too. Like, u might have 1 guy who is a great QB, but struggles as WR or something. But, u give the teams 3 rounds. And, they have to play a different position each round. Lol. So, the guy who can't QB will struggle. So, yeah, I can see this being interesting for esports. I don't see 5 v 5 coming soon, though. Based on normal formations, I mean, u would force players to be Olinemen. I guess some might enjoy that, and if they made mechanics specific to every position, then maybe. But, I think, in general, and speaking for myself, I'd rather play a skill position, so I think that's why 3 v 3. Soccer, u might do 11 v 11 or 10 v 10 as goalie is always wonky to try and play yourself. U have all players moving and can get the ball at anytime. Same with BBall. It's about who can get the ball, imo. And, football is just a little more limited in that regard.
