I am primarily an offline franchise player, I'll only be disappointed about this news after next year if they don't follow through. Looking forward to the gameplay improvements w/ Madden 11.

yeah I love funny *** GIFs, especially that one since Ive watched supes a ton


I think that perfectly represents the feeling of most us going through this "Next-gen madden era"

How can people still trust EA after all of this? Its unbelievable. This is all bullsh!t, they say they need another year to really build the franchise up from the scratch but you have had over 4 years for that and you've failed.

What was madden 06 then? Don't you guys remember that the only things that you could don in Madden 06 franchise mode in the off season were the NFL Draft and Free Agency? There wasn't anything else to do because supposedly they started from the scrath because of the new generation (PS3,Xbox 360). You couldn't even create players or edit their attributes.

I'm still gonna buy madden because I need to play a NFL video and its the only one. But I really feel like they messing with us. EA is not investing in the production when they've already invested in the exclusive licensing agreement, it's not smart business.

The NFL seriously needs to end that deal NOW!!!

The trouble with this, is that this is EXACTLY what we were told after 09. New team, new direction, building a foundation, etc.

09 was supposed to fix franchise stats as a base. It didn't.

10 was supposed to be the return of franchise mode and the beginning of something special with the addition of the HC guys. This would be the foundation. Instead we got half-finished features and even more stat errors.

Now we are being told 11 will fix what was supposed to have been fixed in 09 and 10. This time though, there is no development team transition...it's the same guys as 09 and 10.

And I hate to sound so negative, but it was never said we are getting a brand new franchise mode. It just said they had to start over with the foundation, which again, is what we were told after 09 and have watched them spin their wheels on for a couple years.

What we just heard was spin. They've now got some people on the hook for the next 2 years. Now, it may turn out to work as stated, which would be great. I'm just saying while it may not be bad news (expected is more like it IMO), I don't see how it translates to great news. They pretty much just recycled their "foundation" rhetoric from the last few years and just delivered it a bit earlier. Nice that we know pre-release, but I don't understand being excited about the news.

And I know this sounds negative, but none of this is meant to bash on the developers or anything. I honestly believe that their hearts are in the right place. I just think they've developed a bad habit (must be brand contagious) of over-promising and under-delivering. It's hard not to be skeptical about how well their stated process works out for us because so far we've only seen multiple half-done features and unmet goals.
