Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Discussion

[Glorious Arc]

It could very well be possible though. Isnt just like downloading the roster from your comish in dynasty? If it is that simple then it sounds like it could be an easy thing to do.

I bet we will have to wait for a blog about online franchise in the following weeks before we know for sure if we can or cant.

I don't think it is even remotely safe to say. Most of those things in that video were already done in NFL 2k5. I'm not complaining, but I am just saying. I actually thought I was looking at 2k5 after a couple of the crowd shots. Can't be a bad thing.

The thing that made 2k5 great for presentation was that the transitions were smooth and perfect. If EA doesn't get that right, it will feel artificial.

I am excited but I am not crowning them until I see it live...

Hopefully we can. It would be sweet.

I mean, its not like a deal breaker for me...but man I wish he and the team addressed it--or at least come out and say something about it, even if they couldn't get it figured out over before the final product in madden 10... I just dont want to pop in my m10 on Aug 14th and have someone abusing me with that catch already and be caught off guard...

RC catch happens IRL though. I think thats why Ian has not said about removing it because it can happen IRL. The issue comes down to the physics. Players in M09 just stopped and went into an animation creating the issues with RC catch. Also, any player could do it, anyone remember the Oralndo Pace vids? If those to issues are fixed(which I am sure they will be) then RC should stay.

I say those issues would be fixed because of layered blending/pro tak tech that are allowing for greater transitions from each animation.

I know we both dont like to think about it but look at this years playoff run and look at the catchs Fitz made on our defences... Almost every single one was a RC

Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to have online franchise. The presentation looks good, but it's the gameplay that made me want to snap Madden 09 in two everytime I played. Presentation was the appetizer, online franchise the dessert, now I just need my meat and potatoes.

Its funny how everyone wanted to eat the dessert first then ask questions about dinner later....

I have always put my list like this

1. Gameplay
2. Franchise(online offline make it amazing and I will be happy)
5. Presentation

What happened to 3 and 4? They are filled with gameplay and franchise again. Many of the issues I had with the game look fixed but there are a couple that I really hope get added. Like the arm tackles and making people miss in the open field or just adjusting your body and making a player take a bad angle. Fix those and add more animations as always and I would extremely happy.

Im not sure I even want to upload draft classes if they do not have pictures in Madden. I will take the Fake players w/ pictures rather than real rookies with a blank silhouette

Where is this confirmation on flak jackets?


I don't think so.


They did thicken up the midsections on the qb's a little though from the screens ive been seeing.
