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

[MarvellousOne]

So it's wait until Madden 12 to get franchise mode correct. Basically that's telling me skip madden 11 and buy next years game if you like franchise mode that much. This mode hasn't really seen anything impressive since 2005, now we have to wait another year for them to finally give it some attention...7 damn years of nothing for franchise mode but some lame presentation show, and an addition of hand created rookies...lame I swear...well at least they tuned Draft classes and maybe the gameplan feature will make it somewhat enjoyable.

Oh well, at least they where up front about this.

Just disappointing to see Madden for this generation go down this way.

Really now? With ESPN 2K5, Backbreaker, NCAA Football 11, and NHL 11 I seriously doubt it.

I hate to jump in but for the first time in over 10 years I won't be buying Madden. I've never even considered that really until now. After assuring us franchise was due for an overhaul, both online and offline, we get next to nothing in franchise mode. The franchise mode as it is now is so stale and lackluster that there is little reason to play it. Terrible decision.

Well at this point this a major bummer from this stand point. So I guess we will have to wait until madden 12 next year to get a major improvement. But atleast they are taking our advice and trying to add it in next year madden. I kknow alot of people are going to be unhappy. But I think another year of wait ain't to bad. But franchsise in madden 11 is still going to be good despite no big changes. But it is the way it is.

What exactly is this suppose to mean? What does this have to do with removing features? Or not re-installing the features? Limited Code and Engine? That would only limit the game play, not the features around the game play.

Why were the features TAKEN OUT? Why does the ENTIRE game have to be rebuilt from scratch? And rebuilt with what you call limited code and engine?

Not getting bent out of shape, just stating the obvious. It's been over half a decade, and the game isn't even up to where it was OVER HALF A DECADE AGO. What about that don't you understand?

You also got to remember they also added real staduim music in this year aswell. I pretty happy for this year. Since I know for madden 12 EA is going to focus more offline franchise next year. I can wait.
