We have a long way to go before that ever happens. At least wait for some gameplay footage.

Online franchise!!! check.

Awesome presentation!!! so far check.

Gameplay!!! Know its going to be better than 09 but, by how much???

Now lets see what else is in store.

Wish I didn't have to work tomorrow I really like seeing e3 happen live but recorded is ok I guess....

The screenshot of the Franchise menu on the official Madden site has "2009 Season - Week 1" listed, just like in NCAA. That should immediately point to multi-year.

I guess EA realized how many more copies they'd sell with this feature. Great job. All that I hope for now is that the rookies from NCAA don't cause rating problems when they're imported.

YES!!!! Online Franchise made it in!!!!
Though i still think the majority of time with the game will be spent with offline franchise...

Loved hearing the online stuff like the app for the iphone, online draft, etc. Wasn't long but I'm hoping there is more. That might be all for online they may just go to talking about the offline features on day 2. I'd just wanna see gameplay and presentation.

Hopefully presentation in franchise (both offline and on) is deep, as that as much as almost any added feature is key to immersion.

Yeah, this is nice but I would much rather hear improvements upon OFFLINE franchise! O well, this is still big news

Now that online franchise has been officially announced, I was jumping and yelling for joy,calling all my friends,getting hyped up....until I thought about something...
YES colored cleats,flak jackets,presentation,online modes and the like have been addressed...so now the only thing left to wonder is????

HOW IS THE GAMEPLAY???
Is the WR/DB interaction better? will man to man defense be good this year? Will the Rocket Catch still be everyone's method of choice to move the ball? Will they fix the running animations? After some rough vids,will Pro Tak look authentic and not choppy and sliding? Will game sliders be a factor for a change? Will star players seperate themselves from average joes?

All these great things we've seen so far will mean nothing if Madden's gameplay hasn't improved,so let's not get TOO stoked yet my fellow OS brothren,let's hope the GAMEPLAY is vastly improved.....your thoughts?
