It's not a rant. I'm just being a realist. In my mind as a consumer, it's a poor development decision, and one that is pretty easy to see. I'm relatively certain that these enhancements will not be seen in online franchise. If they do show up, I will be the first person on these boards to gladly eat crow and give them praise for doing it.

Just a thought. What part of Gilette stadium that floats in mid air is creating that shadow? I also noticed that last year candlestick park also had a floating light board as well.

I think Mike Young has a problem with connecting shadows

Why is it so hard to simply have a single franchise mode in the game in which it is only one mode. If you have friends who want to play, then they play via being online, but if they don't the franchise mode works exactly the same as a single play offline mode does today? I would think that would have been the first discussion being had when designing this mode. These are the types of head scratchers that kind of make people question the development talent. Now those of us who run leagues have to continue to spend countless hours managing cpu salary caps, player management etc. etc.

.
This comment explains it all, but from a gameplay aspect also. Like you said before, these. Additions are great, but let's hope they finally get it done 100%. We finally get to manage a full roster this year. I say it should have been possible long ago... I'm just say these thing make you ponder the developers capabilities. I'm just saying if where going to have the new features, let not do it half-assed..

Lets wait until all the details come out before we make assumptions about Online Franchise not being touched.

If you look it says the user's team has 35 current players with max capacity being 75 (top left of the screen) and on the top right of the screen it says 28milllion in cap room...so his question is shouldnt a team with only 35 signed players have a lot more cap room?

Kind of depends on who the 35 players signed are. If most of your starters are under contract, that's where you spend the majority of your cap.

whats wrong with getting OFFLINE franchise headed in the right direction before online?

....someone run a poll here with ONLINE versus OFFLINE franchise...I bet offline is far ahead of online in terms of what players play most often.
