I hear what you saying but this feature should have been included with the new engine they were building. This has been part of the game from the beginning and it's very important to alot of offline gamers who like to play there franchise with family and friends along with having the ability to control all 32 teams.. There's no excuse really but what can you do.. I'll be getting the game like always but losing this feature was a big disappointment for me..

They should have just left the franchise in the game or called this game madden online with cc and came out with a second game Madden franchise with owner mode features many would buy both, instead they choose to alienate what they will find out to be a large portion of their consumer base for twitter feeds in a game that sounds about as deep as nfl street.

I should have picked up NFL Street. I never thought it was such a deep game but I guess I was wrong.

I hear you also, I play 100% offline and always have. I know its been part of the game and it will come back but with a year of pain to that specific 2+ offline segment.
Do we like it of course not, their is a difference between saying what needs to be added (not that they on the whole dont already know) and focusing on just the things missing. If nothing was being changed and we lost features i would rage but when we are effectively getting a much better and bigger game mode its getting to a moot point.

For example you can now do trades, chart etc at maddencarrers.com away from home. You could split the tasks between 2+ people

or if you have two gold accounts on the console play in the same franchise with 2 teams.

So much better immersion.

Damn you Looman for taking out Player edits and the ability to play any game during (franchise mode) CCMode!!!! I want to show those punks at EA and boycott buying but I HAVE TO HAVE MY yearly MADDEN FIX!!! I have already sold M12, was sick of the horrible *** commentary and had to play with the sound off and music on and that sucked!! Maybe it wont be so bad not editing my MLB to have a dark visor or giving my rookies play wrist bands and having all my DB's with no socks just leggings. UGHHHH!

Thats why EA isnt worried about sales.THey already know most fans are just like you.

You are right, most fans buy despite something they like being gone. It's like dating the hott girl that cant cook! What would you rather have the mediocre chic that can cook every meal or the hott girl thats a ten, but cant cook? Madden is the hott chic, that cant cook but she looks great (graphics) has features (CCM,Legends,Infinity engine) Nice rack etc etc.

I wouldn't complain about loss of multiplayer if madden had a nice rack

It's more like Madden is the only girl in town. She looks nice and has some nice features, but if your priorities are completely different how long will you be happy in the relationship?
