Madden NFL 12 Blog - No Additions This Year For Online Franchise Mode

[ryan36]

Back on topic, guys. This is not a debate on League Manager's usefulness. I'm really tired of hearing about it... the link is in his sig, PM him or check the site for more.

The least EA could do is to support leaguemangers server cost. I know it hasnt been cheap for him to support all the madden 11 leagues. I cant imagine how much its gonna cost to support even more with madden 12 leagues.

EA should realize that alot of people that wouldnt buy the game due to no online franchise improvements might still because LM is making something out of nothing.

I wasnt defending EA, I was referring to your several posts that no one plays offline... online is the only game people buy the game for.

Aw ok it sure did take them long enough to get to the point where we have player traits and dynamic performances And blah blah none of these features Sounds innovative to me but yet making me wanna say " it took u long enough"

Thank you and sorry about the derailment, wasn't completely intentional, I was just answering questions that were asked. I will start a LM thread after i get the ok from Steve.

Now you got me wondering what this big online announcement is. Thoughts are just going through my mind on what it can finally be.

Offline > online...no cheese, no people breaking league rules, no alignment of personal schedules to play user v. user games, no lag when playing making it impossible to run the ball and run behind blocks...

On this point, all I'll say is Creatine Kasey and the spreadsheet system. The Jesus of the pre-LM era.

But to the point of the thread, there's just enough in the OF to get it to work. I suppose that will have to do. I'll definitely be playing more offline this year as a result.
