Yeah pastapadre said it in his Madden 10 impressions from E3. This is beyond bad now. I can deal with no cap and no trade logic, but no contracts? This is ridiculous to say the least. They might as well had left out online franchise this year and did the league thing again.

The online franchises can go for as long as 10 years.

That and no NCAA imports killed that mode for me I hope offline Franchise is longer.

If there are no contracts in online franchise, how will there be any free agents, other than players people cut. Does that mean a player stays on your team until you cut him or he retires.

Also, without contracts and a salary cap how will the CPU decide who to "sign", if that is the right word since there are no contracts.

I am not trying to be critical, I just don't have a clue as to how free agency, especially with CPU teams, would even work.

It's a tweaked version of the online league mode, as I feared.

I'm under the impression that the dev team realizes this and will update the mode accordingly. They'll have my money if this happens.

Indeed. It is not really an online franchise, but a a 10 season league. It will be interesting to see how the CPU acquires players in the off season.

No contracts seems like a glaring omission. It is hard to understand how they did not get it in, wether they ran out of time or it was more complicated than they thought. A lot of people here are optimistic that something will get done, but I have a feeling they will be very disappointed when it remains as is.
