Agreed. Things look very, very encouraging, but I'm holding any judgement until the game actually comes out.

But looking good thus far.

Still concerned about how some of the receivers seem to get stuck in between animations, and I want to know how much Franchise has been improved (this is key for me), but things have looked good so far.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

I've been thinking about online franchise and there is one issue that I see that may be a problem - Trading/Transactions with computer controlled teams.

I can see these potential problems:

1. A human controlled team fleecing a computer controlled team in a trade.
2. A computer controlled team dropping a star player and a human controlled team picking him up.

Hopefully there are measures that EA takes to avert these issues. Here are my suggestions:

1. No trading between human and computer controlled teams. The only trades that are allowed are between human controlled teams.
2. A waiver system should be put in place just in case a computer controlled team drops a star player.

Hopefully these problems have already been addressed.

Thank you and Good Day.

"Will you play online Franchise?"

Any time you see this question posted with the inevitable "Poll" offline franchise always wins. It is no way indicative of the actual results on this topic, especially considering there has never been an online franchise in Madden. Go ask this question on the NCAA boards and check out what results you get. Once people start playing this mode I guarantee you feelings will change and here's why.

First of all you can easily do both. You can have your own offline franchise to do what you want and have a great franchise with your boys going on as well, so I don't understand why so many people think the two are mutually exclusive. Also until you've played the base form on NCAA, you really shouldn't and couldn't have an opinion on the matter. If online sucks no one will play and if it's dope everyone will play. Last of all but not least, IN NO WAY can online franchise be compared to playing random clowns on the internet. The minute you start doing that you are already speaking from a ridiculous position. I would not advise playing with anyone you don't know in an online franchise. Try meeting people here or call up old homies from the past, this game is not meant for racist, anti-semites, homophobes, fake *** gangsters, or any of the multitudes of other closet losers you randomly find on the internet.

p.s. Don't buy this 32 teams crap either stick to a maximum of about 6 people with a good commissioner (the numbers can change to more or less depending on your personal relationship with the people in the franchise).

I have a few friends who would play online franchise but don’t have a console to play it on. I think it will be great if you can have multiple people play online franchise on one console.

As I said in the other thread, I just don't have the time for an online franchise.

Three kids, wife and a career, playtime is very sparse for me.

I'm happy it's in for the people that enjoy it, though.

Everyone's life is different.

To another point. Why after all this time, do people have the ridiculous notion that the gameplay team focused on Online Franchise to the detriment of all else. I joined this site in December with the express intention of finding out about Online Franchise and for 5 months I have heard updates on everything but this feature. 5 MONTHS, Ian and crew have given the people plenty of reasons to show that they did not focus solely on Online Franchise and you people still doubt him on this issue. Damn mayne, I am one if not the biggest sceptic here and even I wouldn't dare suggest that bogus theory.
