Madden NFL 10 Franchise Mode Improvements: Part 2 Q&A

[Step2001]

I don't understand why I.R. was not fixed. That's been rittled with termites since last gen days.

Not the ones who buy the game, play a season, then let it collect dust for the next 3 years until they want a new one. If EA spent more time listening to the die-hards, and not throwing in cheesy crappy new game modes to try and attract borderline gamers, we'd have an awesome game buy now, and not so many hardcore Madden fans on the fence about buying it every year.

Agree with everything you said except for the 1st sentence. There are customers who purchase Madden on a yearly basis outside of the net who care too. I witness that with 35 customers at midnight at Game Crazy the last 2 years and they are the same people.

The unfortunate thing, each of those borderline guys who play it for a week and love the cheesy features are worth the same dollar amount as us diehards. They don't get money based on how long you play, just if you buy.

Not that they shouldn't be focusing on that (before someone starts to flame me) They are a business. The number one goal of all businesses is to make a profit so they can stay alive.

Did you ever realize you can edit your player and change his position to DE? You can do that in '09.

Is that confirmed broken? Some have said it's fixed, some have said it isn't. It's a yes or no question and its been broken for so long!

Is there a way for OS to create a franchise mode forum? I'd love to have a centralized place where we can all write about the progress of our franchises and post updates...maybe even pics and videos, etc.

Here are a couple -

OS Dynasty HQ
Madden Mania Franchise/Dynasty Reports

Madden Mania has some of the best ones I have ever read. DeeGeezy and Matt10 write some really good stuff and there are a lot of others out there.

I had one going with the Jaguars but just couldn't bring myself to finish a season in Madden 09.
