Madden NFL 11 Blog: E3 Feature Announcement and Career Modes Update

[NYYankees42]

I give props to madden for at least being truthfull and not overhyping minor franchise upgrades. This way franchise people dont waste $60.

[chibears77]

THIS is straight garbage. if the bugs are not fix on this game im not buy madden 11 period.
to not make major improvement on offline franchise is pure crap.
and now i'm 100 percent sure there big announcement is going be online team play. who here really cares about that. that's a casual players dream not mines

I am officially pissed

It still makes me sad, but I hope they have some other features not yet revealed that will entice me to buy this years game.

Yeah, but if there is a lockout next year, which is a very good possibility, that stuff still won't be in place, so all the stuff about waiting for the CBA is BS. If they were really were waiting for the CBA, they should've said that franchise will be update for 2013 because that is the year that everything will be finally settled as far as Madden goes.

So where are all the people who said the reason we weren't hearing about franchise mode was because they were waiting until E3 to give us all this great info?

This is EXACTLY what others of us have been trying to tell you: we weren't hearing anything because other than a few tweaks, nothing was being done. THAT's why we weren't hearing anything. Blind faith is not always a good thing. Make them earn your faith first.

That being said, EA has now given you documented reason to hope for Madden '12. But even then, please be careful with your expectations.

Props to EA for being honest though. I only hope that with '12 being over a year away, they aren't saying this for now, and hoping we forget about it later. I might have to save the URL for that blog, copy and paste it somewhere for future reference, etc.

But in the same of everything sacred, please just get the franchise stats correct this year. They may not be giving us much new, but EA, please QA the hell out of that mode for this year, AT LEAST!

Well see everybody same time next year?

[CYST2000]

Wow! We get the truth for a change, and in all I can honestly say that I will not be getting this game now. Last year the Franchise mode was as slim as NBA Live 10, and after the second patch it was even worse than before. Now there won't be a reason to play this over last years game. IMO. So I will wait for Madden 2012, or something else.

Well, this will be the first year that I officially don't purchase Madden. Inside that makes me a bit upset, but, I just can't do without a good franchise mode. Hopefully NCAA delivers with it's Dynasty
