Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Discussion

[LHaze30]

Will users be able to pick plays and watch the action play out in online franchise? If so, will you be able to watch from a broadcast camera angle?

I was thinking about that yesterday...I doubt it, but it would be awesome. Imagine if you could get 32 all using coach mode.

May be I missed it, what is coach mode? Is that similar to how head coach 09 played where you pick the play for your team and then the IA plays it out for you?

IGN-
I got the chance to head down to EA's Los Angeles studios several weeks ago for a Pre-E3 event and saw the online franchise mode up and running for the first time. Just as you'd expect, all 32 teams can be inhabited by a human player and taken through numerous seasons. Either that, or you can corral as many pals as possible and let the CPU manage the actions of the rest of the teams in the NFL.

Player models in 2k8 did not look up to par

and madden 08 did? I'm looking forward to this game also but let's not lose all sense of memory here. This madden might be the first in a LONG while to hold some legitimacy. I'm hoping that Madden 10 will pull out to be the king of football but up until then these next gen maddens haven't made the cut at all.

Yeah, the idea of a living franchise is awesome. I just hope they include an owner by owner breakdown so when owner switch out in season 2, 3, 4, and so on that you can see the change in team management in the statistical break downs.

That's why the ability to play all your games is important. Without it, you'll have to either Sim the game and get bogus stats, or some guys will just get the W (win) and no stats, which means their players can't compete for MVP and might not even make the ProBowl at the end of the year (hoping that's in at least).
