The other little things, scouting players, etc., now maybe those will be missing, I don't think it's the end of the world, but to announce something as a "franchise" mode and to also have concurrent reports talk about "future draft picks," and then lo & behold, it is a single-season mode, would be very strange. I think that your history-of-EA-induced neurosis has gotten the better of you

I did say I was confused

I understand the ramifications if Online Franchise mode is not multi year and hope that my confusion is all in vain. With different reports giving different details we wont know until a later time what it really is. Smart money is on multi season year but EA is not always smart...there I go again with the history-of-EA...

PS.
I have faith in Ian to make the smart move but I dont want to assume something when it has yet to be said if it really is what we think it is.

I wouldnt say that yet... 2k5 had ALOT of various cut scenes...if Madden 10 has few too little...those cut scenes will repeat way too often...like i tried telling the dev's in here over last year and quite frequently i might add....they key to adding cut scene's into this game relies heavely on the amount you add...2k5 had ALOT of different cut scenes..just enough where they really never got old over the fall and winter i played 2k5...The Madden dev's need to make sure that their are plenty of various cut scenes...otherwise it will ruin the entire experience.

With you here...would like to hear some details on offline franchise improvement first. Still, good for those who use it.

I will also add that some of the pics (presumably from cutscenes, etc) are looking nice. Hopefully presentation in franchise (both offline and on) is deep, as that as much as almost any added feature is key to immersion.

I just hope they put as much time into the tweaking the final build gameplay as they did in the presentation. The presentation looks better and better with each video I see, but the gameplay is doing the exact opposite with each new video IMHO.

i am very happy they addressed the presentation, its obvious that ian and company listened to the fans.

but....


i really hope they tighten up the gameplay. did anyone else notice when the tight end ( i think from arizona) caught that td and seemed to get stuck between animations, which always bothered me with the animations. they just never seem to flow.

not trying to be a downer, really happy, just hope it's not adressing one issue and leaving another lacking.

WOW!! MAdden seems to have 2k5 beat. We still have to wait and see. Did anyone hear anything about camera angles? I heard co-op have different views, what about offline? Madden looking good presentation wise.
