Online or Offline franchise?

[thabigski]

I'm looking to play solo and own a team. Mostly sim games, develop players and sign/draft. I've done this offline but I'm wondering what the difference is if I start an online franchise? It says I can play solo. I want the full experience to be sure, not sure what disadvantages/advantages there are. I've noticed simming weeks is quicker online (it doesn't lost each game and load for several minutes) but I'm not sure why...

Online-Means your CFM would get any tuning updates that EA put out but it's unlikely there will be any more so.....that's a wash. Disadvantage--you have to have an internet connection to play. IE, a storm blows though and knocks out your net but not power for a while....you can't do anything. Or you lose connection midgame for a second and you'll have to replay it. At this point, I don't think online holds any advantage.
