It seems like they have allocated their resources to online at the expense of the offline users. Also, although the money charged for PS Plus isn't much it is perceived as a money grab. This doesn't sit well with many loyal customers. I think their concerns are justified.

Perhaps that's perception of those who are unhappy about something or another, but those that finally get attention to their mode would STRONGLY disagree. Perception is about angle....your angle....my angle....their angle.
So not one "the perception"
I'm seriously doubt the resources dedicated to online franchise is the reason for the delay. I'd say nearly certain as it was probably the most stable at the time of the focus group.
I'm going with the art(read:STADIUMS)....for the PS4 it is a huge undertaking.

...and again....the PS+ charge has NOTHING TO DO with SCEA.
On the PS4....all online play requires PS+. SCEA couldn't give it to you for free if they begged Sony.(and they probably would want to give it to you for free.....more people would use it)

I know this has been asked before, but I feel like there has yet to be a clear answer.

In ONLINE franchise do you have the same level of control as you do with OFFLINE franchise.

In that you can edit players, manage injuries, etc. Or have some of those levels of control been taken away due to the fact that other users can be in the mode at the same time.

That is my main issue still with the changes, if I cannot edit new draft picks, edit players as their skills change in real life, change positions/stances/motions, force injuries, etc online franchise will never be the same for me as offline. If I want to do a single player franchise I badly want the new AI logic improvements, but I also want control over things like that.

I'm pretty sure you can have manual injuries and set up CPU teams with the same options you can as in a regular 30 team control franchise.....and unless they drastically changed something....you can'tedit players as in offline mode.

Can you edit if another player is in the franchise with you? Or is that only an ability the comish would have?

Perhaps Hustlin or nem can answer.....I've never participated in one....I've only set them up at SCEA to check things out.

Hopefully you can't adjust ratings. That wouldn't make sense and everyone would make their players a 99 overall.

you mean add players once franchise has started? Yes, would assume similar to last year
