Not to bring up the fact that EA did not say it was going to last as long as offline franchise. It normally is EAs marketing ploys to yell out things like this but they didnt. Currently I am worried that it will only be a one season franchise with trades and such.

Why would they bother talking about the "draft" (ie, non fantasy draft) if it weren't multiple years?

IGN's report contradicts Gamespot with some things, namely trading.

This. If you can do that (say take the draft class from your OD on NCAA and send them to Madden.) If so despite my doubts i'm all in.

They say you can start your Online Franchise with a live fantasy "draft". They dont say anything about drafting rookies. With NCAA 09 they said it will be 60 years. It was highlighted EVERYWHERE but with Madden 10 online franchise they have not said if it will be 1 year or 30 years. This being left out on the marketing side makes you have to question how long it will be. They dont even say you can scout the rookies which we know is a big part of offline franchise this year from the blogs.

Perhaps that's because NCAA had to differentiate from last year's version which, I think, was capped at 30 years. I doubt that Madden will be one year, especially because the IGN article says that you can trade future draft picks. A lot of good that would do you if you couldn't play more than one year.
