I agree, that will be fun. But, my buddies and I, also in our 30s, married, kids, etc, really enjoy playing offline franchise but we just can't get together as much as we used to. We like arguing about trades and stuff like that.

I was really hoping that the gang could do 5 vs. cpu in Franchise online. Am I reading we won't be able to?

Quick question. Do more OS gamers play on PS3 or 360? I have usually bought this series for the latter but I'm thinking of going for the former this year, to mix it up.

I think 360, but not sure seems like most of the activity is for 360. I say 360 for sports games and Ps3 for shooters/action.

Can we use custom settings/sliders in GM Connected? If so, is it the same or similar options as offline BAGM, or is it stripped down? Eg, casual/normal/hardcore preset options, but no individual sliders...


EDIT - I just found this on the EA forums:

Can anyone answer if you can do offline Be a GM with multiple user controlled teams? And in the online Connected GM mode, can the commish alter game results? For instance, say everyone plays 20 games and you want to get to the playoffs already. But you sim the rest of the season and nobody makes the playoffs. Can the commish ensure all humans make the playoffs? This also is important say if someone drops out of your league and you want to penalize them and have them lose all the rest of their games to make it easier for other people to make the playoffs.

Am i missing something here guys? cant you just set up a gm connected league and have your team controlled with as many mates as you want and the other 29 teams cpu controlled voila same as offline gm mode no?

Sorry i mean add a few teams , the one team is for Shogun and his mates.

Will we be able to fantasy draft the beginning of our league?
How will the off season work. Will the commish be able to reset games that had drops due to network instability? Can the commish shorten the seasons to a shorter amount of games?
