Five Things All Dynasty/Franchise Modes Need: Part V Stuck

This week, I have written about several different items which I believe should be universal in all dynasty and franchise modes. Today, I'm not going to hit on any new features per-se, but rather I want to tie it all together with one caveat: it all should be optional.

Gaming companies have a nasty tendency to force feed users with features. I say that is a practice which has to really stop. While the features I have described would add absolutely tons of depth, there are a lot of folks who would do better for themselves just playing games and doing basic franchise stuff.

But what about us truly incredibly detail oriented people? Why should gaming companies sacrifice depth when they can simply add it and make it entirely optional for people who really want it.

Some people simply don't want to have to create a character with attributes for handling the media, players, and aspects of your team. And whether us truly detail oriented people like it or not, some people simply don't see the need to run a virtual press conference to temper fan expectations but not to destroy your team's faith in you. Some people don't want to rally fan support in the offseason after a disappointing season.

And it's ok.

But at least give us incredibly crazed people who want to micromanage our virtual coaching careers the option to do so. It's all I ask.
