I don't think anything is wrong. There are many people who play offline. There have polls to say so.

Don't bother. You know there's always "smart" people like this looking to hate.

AJ, thanks for your continued feedback. One question though, will offline multiplayer franchise mechanics be addressed in Monday's blog (for example, how free agent bidding is handled in a multiplayer offline franchise)?

So, what's really happening is that we're getting an improved Madden 05 franchise mode? I guess you have to start somewhere...

Yep. Madden 05 definitely had Dynamic Player Performance, expanded roster sizes, live free agent bidding, and who knows what else they still have to announce.

Your logic is solid.

Hey Adem, I just want to say I appreciate you still staying grounded and true to your OS roots. It really feels like having an "inside man" for the creation of Madden and I hope you continue to keep it real in the future.

Two questions I have are;

1) Has anyone at EA football discussed adding a "Simulation" setting to their football games? Seems like a natural compromise for the concern with making the game "sim to the nth degree" out the box and intimidating casuals.

2) If online franchise is NOT upgraded in Madden 12, can you guys at least add "Live Opponent" back in? I think it was last available in Madden 2007 and allowed gamers to play their offline franchise games against online users. Me and my friends used to just transfer the saved franchise file to each other via email and a Xbox 360 data transfer kit for individual weekly team management. Not as convenient as a fully upgraded online franchise but better than Madden 11's bare bones online franchise, IMO.

*EDIT- I forgot to ask, have you spoken with anyone about the lack of defense pass interference calls?

Don't fall for the bait, and waste your time with some angry dude who isn't going last til June before he's banned.

Edit, he actually got banned while I was typing this, lmao.

Got some questions:

1. Will they be handshakes with Goodell and a jersey pose during the draft? This isn't a big deal, just wondering.
2. Is there a training camp like PS2?
3. Can you trade future draft picks?
4. Will the CPU trade with each other?

These answers would be appreciated.
