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!!!

Annnnnnd that my friend is why they dont care what kind of game they give us..

I definitely won't buy it new. Out of curiosity, I'll buy it used, go online for 10 seconds during the "trial" online access period to download latest rosters, then never venture online again. I don't now anyway.

This. To say I'm not disappointed would be a lie but, if this is all for the "greater good" then what's another year of waiting?

More than likely I will still purchase M11. Hopefully, the game-play upgrades, improved sim stats and new commentary will help out with the disappointment.

However, I'm still holding out hope that putting a player on IR opens up a roster spot. Don't let me down EA

I respect this type of communication far more than the hype they gave us last year. What they say in the blog makes sense. If they are truly assembling a team to do it from the ground up, then I hope we get truly innovate approaches to the Franchise, and career mode which IMHO should be it's own game, not part of NCAA or Madden. There's enough there, there's enough changes you can make for each position to make it truly a unique experience. I'd pay for a career based game that's done well.

I am perfectly fine with this game....upgraded audio, commentary, graphics, controls, stats, injuries, presentation...all of the things that makes football...football has been fixed. I think this year's game is gonna rock.

Umm, no they didn't get their wishes. Game is still going on sell for $60. Not the same thing by a long shot.

I'm really getting sick of having to take a back seat (as an offline gamer) to all this online dynasty, franchise etc. crap... The reason everyone loved ESPN NFL 2k5 was because it had such a deep and fun offline franchise..heck it didnt even have any of this new online crap and people still prefer it over all the new online stuff. Why? because offline franchise (done well) is more addictive than a stupid online dynasty and online league that is boring after like a couple weeks!!!
