The fact that OOTP doesn't try to have the same type of gameplay on the field is irrelevant to the argument. It isn't like the same team is working on gameplay and CFM for Madden so there is no reason to compare the game's on field gameplay. It is fair to compare both of their franchise modes when both are striving for a deep mode and both have teams dedicated to those modes solely.

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison at all.

Don't get me wrong, I want the same thing that you, and many others do with offline franchise.

But you're comparing a game that has a production team dedicated to basically one thing and one thing only. A text sim with a very in depth franchise mode.

To a team that has to juggle multiple modes and different difficulties when they are already spread thin as it is.
