Sorry if its already been asked but have a question about online franchise

[davidd]

So I know that the developers have confirmed that the online franchise in 12 hasn't been given any of the major updates offline has been given HOWEVER considering that they've also stated that the game will ship with expanded rosters(the game will be initially coded to allow for more then 53 men on a roster at a time) does that mean that online franchise will at the very least include a functional IR system?ex: being able to add free agents to replace players who have been placed on the IR list?

Again sorry if it's been answered already but I haven't personally read anything about this specifically.

Cheers

Doubtful.. The way I read and understood it is not one change has been added to OF.. What we got last year is what we get this year..

Agreed.

Numbers were extremely low for Online Franchise as opposed to the massive amounts of games of Online Ranked and Offline Franchise games. Considering that there were issues with all three modes, EA decided it could not do everything that needed to be done with Online Franchise in this development cycle.

That doesn't mean there was no one working on it - it might need 2 years of development to be ready for prime time. But it does mean that any changes will have to wait at least until Madden 13. That said, considering what I've seen in the demo - fans might not be as upset as they were when they discovered Online Franchise would remain the same.

Hopefully those folks can find something elsewhere in the game to enjoy while waiting for Online Franchise to improve.

Later

i am fine with them taking a full cycle to give online franchise the proper implementation it deserves, so its not half arsed and works seamlessly. all we can hope for this year is that DPP will still play a part in player progression as well as randomized rookie draft classes.

numbers suck because the online franchise sucks. it's pathetically under developed. they could at least be adding a feature every year. like some kind of stupified contract system.

Why spend the time to add a feature every year when the goal is to tear ir down and make it the same as offline franchise.
