    Please put some servers in Australia EA. Online is unplayable here. FIFA has them so why not Madden?

      I was referring to a AAA console game. And really it's a shame that with all the focus on online play, there is no co-op franchise or story mode. I just think alot of it is focused on H2H which translates to micro-transactions. Sure there is CFM and PNO but the big focus is on MUT and Pro Am.

        There will be a story mode for 18, unless that isn't what you mean.

        I agree with the above sentiment, but that is the way it's going across gaming land. That isn't good for the SIM gamers, but it's good for business.

        Edit- Ah, ok, reading over your prior post, you are saying it's a shame OTP isn't in Story Mode.

            I thought he said there was some stuff that he wanted in story mode but didn't make it in. The mod is definitely in M18 though.

              I just think they need to figure out how to incorporate teammwork into their game.

              I don't have time to grind on Madden. Their gameplay mechanics in comparison to 2K's basketball title just flat out suck. They are getting better but they are not worth my time nor money.

              OTP was going to get me back into madden but OTP as a part of MUT is a complete non starter for me because of the grinding aspect of MUT. I actually believe it's possible Madden would give a more realistic and legitimate gameplay experience with more users on the field, but I'm not going to waste time on MUT trying to find out.

                MUT Squads should be 5 v 5. Maybe they will add more users in the future but 3 v 3 is too much cpu.

                    Agree with your first line, don't agree with the start of the next paragraph and agree with the last line in the other direction for me, but this isn't the time or place to go round and round with that.

                    I'm hoping that OTP makes it back in besides just MUT, a mode that I don't touch, but obviously, others do and will.

                      The people have spoken anyway, Madden sells. My opinion is nothing. I want so much more from Madden that I could write an entire essay here like I've done countless times.

                      Madden's growth is undeniable - I just feel in relation to other sport titles team play is something that should be taken seriously and they've neglected that for their own reasons. I also think MUT is actually a pretty awesome concept - I just feel the game play hasn't grown enough to really take advantage of that concept and illustrate it in a powerful way.

                      IMO, trying to create a team play game type that is on par with that of other sport games through MUT is the wrong way of thinking. Making the game better, and otp as a function of that primarily, would make MUT a more rewarding experience and then warrant my time and money.

                      Hopefully they are trying to do both. Either way, Madden moves at a different pace and I think we've learned to make peace with that as gamers.

                        I have a question, I know you can be fired as a head coach on Franchise, can you be offered another job?
