I just have to highlight this part again. Attention EA sports executives and marketing people This right here is exactly why the M/O of intentionally leaving the game incomplete to keep the masses coming back the following year does not work. People skip and don't come back.

5. Lastly... a message from 30+ crew... Look... Most of us grew up playing Madden... in elementary & middle school... our friends came over and we played hours on end in Madden 93/94/95... etc. Then we went to HS... we still played... just not as long and more independently. Went to college and it was back to the middle lifestyle (lol)... hours on end... with friends over sharing an "offline" franchise. Now... we're older... some have kids... some have wives... some just plain ole have jobs to worry about. The few moments we have to enjoy our friends is via Xbox Live... and it would be nice if we talk smack during the work day... or haggle each other over trades and draft position much like we do with fantasy football. And that's why myself and others are disappointed... True... it may not matter b/c it doesn't impact the game directly... However, Madden appears to be overlooking the indirect impact... The hours people can be talking about the game... while away from the game. Trades... FA... Division winners... Salary Cap... all good stuff away from the game is what is being left out.

Where did you see that in my post? Are you just making that up or did you misread it? Please go back and re-read my post you are referring to because online franchise is the only game mode I play on a consistent basis... I'm fairly certain it says that in there.

This honestly went from day one purchase to never purchasing

Online Franchise is the only thing I play on Madden and they don't even touch it?

Yeah, no thanks.

Exactly...

Last year... was the 1st year, I've ever returned Madden back within the launch month... and I've played Madden each year since 92.

Now, I may not even buy they game... and stick with NCAA 12.

I think the gameplay looks great (well, better than last years, I'll say)... but it won't do me much good if I'm unable to sucker one of my friends into trading McNabb for one of their 2nd round picks.

that whole last page u did not say that...and if that is the case then y do u defend it. your statement about the ration for online players to offline players makes u come off like ur ok with EA screwing online players over. am i wrong..u typed it right?

Ok, so a 1 man show can reverse engineer a solution for online franchise owners, but EA can't build it from the ground up in 3 years? They couldn't throw 60k at the problem and hire a competent programmer to only focus on this aspect for a year? They couldn't at least give us what we had 7 years ago on 2k5 with realistic stats, trades, and salary cap?
