Single Player Franchise

[dougdeuce]

Ok, so one thing that has been big on my list has been...

will the franchise feel different when I choose to play it as a single player, controlling a single team?

I don't ever want to control another team in any way, because you can't do that in the NFL.

that being said, will other games sim while I'm playing mine, or will three morning games be finished before the other 5 even start? I Hate that more than anything in franchise. it totally takes away from the depth of the mode if I have to "sim" past other games,

or worse yet play my monday night game before any sunday games have even been played.

please someone tell me my dream has come true and the other games will play out while I'm playing mine

Hey now. The Twins are a mere two games ahead of the Rockies. Hang your head in shame.

point taken... so back to the topic... anyone know? anyone else want this? this feels to me like a biggie. this has been my biggest gripe is that having the league play out around you in a realistic fashion isn't even an option.

I think being able to play with 31 other people, or playing every game is cool, but shouldn't be a mandatory setup. I just want to play as 1 team.

In week 17 if I'm fighting for a playoff spot I want important games to play out at the same time as my game, not whenever I hit "sim game" on them...

to the op, try selecting "Sim to this game"

Shouldn't have to, even though that's what I end up doing.

plus if I'm the 4th of 7 morning games, then the three games in front of mine are done and the 3 behind me haven't even started even though they all start at 10AM pacific time.

seems like this would be an easy fix though...

all you would have to do is have the games sim while my game loads up and then release information about those games to me during my game.

they could increase the halftime report's content to include a look around the league with some key commentary.

"The Packers lead the Lions here at halftime by the score of 21-6, and with the Packers and Vikings both eying the division title and the last NFC playoff spot lets take you out to Minnesota to check in on the Vikings game"

Now that would really immerse me in my franchise.

having the option to sim the Viking game before my game even takes place is silly to me.

Yeah, I feel you. I wish they would have a ticker at the bottom with the scores. Maybe even during the halftime show they could show the scores of the games going on and the games that happened earlier in the day. Madden 11 please! haha.

And it's weird hearing people from other time zones call them morning games. I'm used to early afternoon haha.
