Plus, there are a ton of Casual Gamers that only play RTG, and not Dynasty. OSers often forget we're the minority.

What does this even mean?

I am not going to lie, I used to fall under that category up till a few years ago. I didnt even think about playing about Dynasty.
I know play Dynasty 60% and RTG 40% and nothing else. I usually play RTG more in the beginning and Dynasty later. I feel that Dynasty should be the main priority. But RTG should also see changes. I like a good 1-2 punch when it comes to modes. Custom Playbooks will boost my Dynasty length. IF Coaching Carousel is added I will easily play over 10 seasons.

I was glad to read about them putting a real football and RPG knowledgeable person, working on this mode. I personally am not that into RTG/Superstar modes and don't play them but I am hoping these RPG elements, find their way into Dynasty/Franchise mode, in the future.

I have long believed that coaches needed a RPG element with certain attribute categories and each team's fan base needs a strategy game element, added to them. Could be a way of having a true feel of progression/regression throughout the years for individual coaches and teams.

Having coaches gain/lose XP based on how their teams perform and have the teams fan base rally/revolt over coaches/players like "populations" in strategy games, would definitely add a deeper immersion factor to NCAA/Madden, IMO. Nothing too extreme or Sim City-isk but something tailored for football video games.

And I think this is a main driving influence in their decision to rebuild RTG. The other major sports titles that have all been solid sellers have introduced winning individual based game modes to their titles, which has had a positive impact on sales.

Think about it: Playing online because of widespread broadband helped drive sales of games like NCAA and Madden over the past couple of years, and now that that game option has been established, it's on to the next hill to climb.

I don't understand how people can be so close minded when it comes to game modes. seriously RTG is a fun mode an a great alternative to playing online. This is coming from a guy who spent most of his time early on with the game Online. Once I had my fill of that I moved on to RTG and it gave the game a bit of new life, if they can improve on this mode it can only mean the game is going to be more well rounded, offer a better experience and provide us more options as players how could that ever be a bad thing? I for one never really touched the Online Dynasty mode but that doesn't mean it should be scrapped. I completely understand it's a mode that many others enjoy and who knows maybe eventually I'll get around to playin it and like it. More options the better in my opinion. you can say what you want about how they should focus on gameplay and scrap "extra" modes but even a game with great gameplay will get stale if there are only a couple game modes available.

I'll just leave this here...

This is really cool. I think I will actually give RTG mode some serious playing time this year.
