True but it seems weird that a team would have that many openings where they need to sign people, I hope thats what it is

I understand you 100%; but I'm saying these features were never on next-gen Madden; thus, could not have been removed. PS2/XBOX Madden just aren't the same game as the PS3/360 counterparts.

Nothing is wrong with that, but when EA is focusing more on offline than online players, then we have something very wrong here.

With competition they would be forced to push themselves at least as hard as the competition and continue to innovate and improve. I just think that if there were 2 NFL games on the market there is no way they would walk into E3 and basically say "well, we didn't touch Franchise mode, but we'll get it next year." They wouldn't and couldn't do that b/c they would have to be looking over their shoulder at what the competition did to improve franchise mode. With that being said, I just skipped Madden last year - and I didn't miss it. This year with new Franchise Mode features I'm going to have to get it. I really like what the team did for this year's game - I just want to see that type of franchise advancement from year to year.

I think this is a reason why the lockout is actually good for Madden (quality wise), as they won't be able to sell as well because of the lockout. They have to really focus on making a stellar product to sell games instead of relying on the NFL to sell the games for them.

Funny, because you can't.

Or you know you also could just not put Peyton Manning at DB to keep things, you know, realistic.
