Multi Team Madden Franchise Problem

[starvsnr]

I have tried searching for an answer and cannot find anything. We have a 11 man franchise and it looks like you have to play games in order each week. If you play a Sunday night game first, the 1 o'clock games and 4 o'clock games get simmed. Is there any way around this?!

What happens when you have to play yourself? (You have to play another team you control)

Week 1

1:00PM Game A
1:00PM Game B
1:00PM Game C
1:00PM Game D

Here is the problem, we cannot play game D until A,B, and C are completed. If the person who has game D tries to play, it will simulate game A,B, and C. In the older versions of Madden you could play any game as long as you were on the same week. This is a problem because since we have so many people in this offline franchise. Also if the person playing game A isn't available to play that night, and the people that play game B,C, and D are able to play they cannot or else game A gets simulated. Is there no way around this?

There is no way around it this year for some reason. In the past, you've been able to play games out of order, but in Madden 10, the games have to be played in the order given to you. You can sim games out of order, but you can't play them out of order.

I've noticed this too. It's annoying, and it wasn't like this in year's past.

I think that the redesign of franchise mode probably is what led to this happening. Not a bug, but the mode appears to be designed for single player use, making this instead an oversight.
