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

Well...looks like I'll have to bust up a franchise mode wishlist now.

But I'm actually irritated that Salary Cap and CPU trade logic isn't added for online franchise. That's kinda unacceptable since it's been a full year they could do this.

WOW....Looks like ANOTHER year of not going past year 2 in franchise due to dumb AI logic along with 2 dozen other reasons.

With that said.....Great they stepped up now rather than later. But personally, this is just poor time management. Why this year?...why not last year or the year before. EA was WELL AWARE of how shallow franchise mode had become and it didnt dawn on them 3 years ago that maybe franchise had to be looked at?

Either way....I can not say i am surprised. bet sales figures are still solid though....Casuals and tourney crowd dont care about franchise.

Like my dad used to say, "I'm not mad, I'm disappointed." Offline Franchise is the ONLY reason I play Madden for more than a month and without any upgrades, I doubt I'll buy Day 1. Can hardly say I'm surprised though, with Josh Looman doing nothing but damn Ultimate Team inserts on Twitter...

I guess now we'll find out how important franchise mode is. EA says that it isn't important, others think that it is important. I guess EA will find out how important it is when the sales for 11 or worse than 10. I'm predicting the biggest dropoff in sales than any other year on next gen. You can quote me on that.

I always thought Franchise has been the biggest thing in Madden when introduced, it why we all bought it ..

Now they are more or less kicking us in the balls telling us what we want, and what's important ..
