MMORPG?

Great write-up! I am the commish of an SEC-exclusive dynasty and we are about toe nter season 4 and are going strong. The OD is the best thing that has happened to sports gaming in some time.

I think boxing would be another great game to sport online league, per say. You could allow maybe 20 boxers in a league and to start, have a tournament to determine who the champ is and then have a system of matches to determine the #1 contender... and so forth. It would be best to use new, custom boxers instead of names we know. It would add more personality to the online career mode. MMA could use the same concept.

No, the masses will still prefer the single-player Dynasty mode.

Online play is overrated....I think developers are spending too much time with online components of the game when they should be focusing on gameplay and graphics....I only go online to download rosters and patches....too many punks online....

2K's online hockey leagues are similar to the online dynasty, but there are less games to play. Hockey just has too many games for a true "dynasty mode" online, but what they have now is the next best thing.
You can even upload highlights and make trades.

the reason there are so many punks is because people play alone by themselves from the early 90's and using the really low settings so when they play real people they are bad sports and thus are punks and whiners... believe me i have played plenty of punks but when you actually find a group of good players it is so rewarding. my club team im on in fifa is so enjoyable.

I think one of the smartest things NCAA did with the online dynasty was keep it to a managable 12 people or less.

In the past games really tried to bring huge mega leagues to the masses, and honestly most people just weren't that interested.

The way online leagues were setup it let you create a league with your friends and run it like and old school dorm league with your roommates on a single console. You keep all of the pluses of your typical offline dynasty while being able to play with a few of your buddies.

That is what other games need to copy moving foward - a small group of 2 to 12ish people all being able to jump in the game and play a competitive league with the occasional head to head game - while not losing any of the bells and whisles like drafting, transfers, free agents, etc.

Now we are waiting for a FULL Franchise online for Madden... And yes we deserve to trade out own damn players.
