That's another thing. In a single-player franchise you might make a run at 30 years if you play a lot (or if you sim some games - even if you play twice a day it would take over 7 months to do 30 years if you don't sim - and that doesn't count playoffs or preseason). But with an online franchise, games are going to have to be coordinated between a number of players, and you are only going to be playing a few games per week tops. So I highly doubt that anyone would come close to 30 years in online franchise before Madden 11 drops.

EDIT: LOL, in the time it took me to post my response, three or four people posted essentially the same thing.

HAHA, that made me laugh.

Very true and good analogy.

Me and 3 friends had a dynasty go for 20 years in NCAA 09. Then we started another because the old one glitched up and we went about 5 years. Then a new one that was another 5. Now their is 2, each about 3 - 4 years in.

Great anology, really true lol

When Madden 11 comes out, all online modes for Madden 10 will stop working.



Having more then 10 seasons is pretty much moot.

*sigh* I tried to warn ya, but everyone told me to shut up.

I don't mind the length at all. I bet most don't even make it through 3 years without crashing due to player commitment issues.

Also, logistically it seems necessary, as Looman said he hand-crafted all the drafts and checked them for accurate progression. That's a lot of players to control, and it's absolutely essential to having a working and believable franchise mode. Ten years probably represented the limit of controlled and accurate draft design the team could do. If that's the case, smart move.

They need continuity. I'm hoping that M11 will provide the ability to import an M10 franchise.
