It still looks like it's going to be a pretty cool thing to do. Unfortunately it will be a one and done kind of deal. Maybe in the future they integrate it into CFM, which would be awesome.

I understand that this is the first step of a long series (if the consumer likes it). And next year they will continue the story. And there are multiple "endings" based from your choices.
But I think that they will say, "Well the players only tried it for a couple of hours and quit, then they went back to MUT or Franchise Mode, so they don't want a storyline based mode.".
But I don't think that they will understand that the people that want an open College to Canton storyline mode, in which you can create yourself as a player, and choose your path, position, attitude, etc.. And have your decisions produce either positive or negative repercussions (both on and off the field).
Ex: If during one of your College gameday interviews you say, "The coaches didn't have anything to do with our win, it was all about me!" or, "We won because we played well, things turned around when I threw that 80 yard TD." Or even "The Coaches put together a great game plan, and we as a team, put it together to win the game.". You should have some of the scouts kinda take that into consideration. Because there is a difference between being cocky, confident, and being non-confrontational.
I think the majority of the people that have been wanting a storyline based experience, didn't want to play as someone who that don't know or care about. They don't want to be steered into a fixed storyline, that they don't have a lot of control over. And they definitely wanted to be able to play an NFL game.

I would hope that they eventually integrate this into Franchise mode. I LOVED the Madden 12 drafts, with guys like Pop Warren, for example. But once Franchise started it's like their stories vanished. So, ideally they could take what they've got going with Longshot and integrate it into CFM down the road. That would be awesome, because as we all know, the players are what brings NFL fans as much as the teams.
