Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise Discussion

[xxxGODFATHERxxx]

I went from buying 3 copies of this game to none at all. I'm not wasting money on Madden again. I have bought every Madden since the original but this last version I only played for a month and then stopped b/c it got boring. I will pass on Madden and buy NCAA instead. The contracts, draft and trades is what makes Franchise so much fun, I can't believe EA would leave this out of a franchise. I just went from requesting a week off from work around 8/14 to taking it in July instead. EA lets us down again.

After putting up this post I was reading that it looks like the commish will have alot of options. So I am once again going to buy all 3 copies. I am a Madden slave.

Dude, you need to take a deep breath and chill out. You went from planning a vacation around this game and buying 3 copies to readjusting your vacation cause the features you wanted in the game weren't in. WTF is wrong with you? Its just a video game. Life goes on my man. John Madden, Ian cummings, Madden 2010, doesnt care about you, its not personal. you shouldnt care so much about them.

As much as I like about this year, as Pasta described it, what we are getting cannot legitimately be called a "franchise."

With no trade and cap logic and no contracts, this qualifies in my mind as a broken feature. It would be better not to have it, imo.

I think the language of "broken" gets abused when evaluating games, but this seems like a legitimate application to me, and I think gamers should call EA out on this one.

We may yet receive news about additions to the mode, but right now the omissions are egregious.

I think you are a lil hard at this point. Its online franchise, to take the place of league daddy, and others sites we use. Playing in leagues you have to input stats after you play your games, now thats gone. No draft, and a re-draft for team after every season.

The Cap? Yea thats not all that great. Leagues as they are now, the only way your players get better is when they do good in real life. Then on top of that no one gets hurt. Now you can put players out for weeks, and the season. With rules in your league it can work, and still be fun.

Trade logic? Its an online franchise, ONLINE FRANCHISE. Most leagues has 32 players, no room to trade with a cpu team. You should be trading with real people, so his trade logic is not the same as yours. If it was no trades will be made. Then if someone get kicked out the league you dont trade with that team, till a new owner is found. Ill take this any day over what we have today. Then add the drafts, and seeing the rookies you pick get better, and your bud draft a bust. priceless

If you need that stuff, that bad play offline. ITS THERE
