All the features that are included in online franchise that were missed in offline franchise including all of the integration available on theshownation. Plus if you are playing between your Vita and PS3/4 you don't have to worry about uploading and downloading from the cloud. Just log into online franchise and play your game!

Also, can you play pvp online franchise games against people on their ps3/ps4 if you are on the vita? Can people on ps3 play against people with a ps4 in online franchise? Or do you both have to be using the same platform? I have to imagine that you and your opponent have to be on the same platform.

To gain the benefits of online franchise.

Custom league setup for one....and the benefits of what has been worked on for the online franchise as well.

If it had Manage only Mode....it would be a no brainer for me.
But most play out the games in a "regular" fashion and it's a good alternative.

What's the difference in where you are playing your games...?...online of offline ....if it works for you?

I guess I just dont see the draw of playing online by yourself just to gain a few features.

But each is to their own I guess.
No hate here.

Its been stated many times on here though that it does matter where you play your games since both offline and online offere different features. They offer different advantages and disadvantages.

If Curahee for instance doesn't care about the different features, he might care about having to be online just to access his franchise.

Curahee doesn't see those exclusive features as enough to go online with franchise. I'm inclined to agree, but I'm way too curious to see the new logic so I'll go online even if that new logic sucks in the end which is entirely possible as with anything.

Exactly my thoughts.

I have no issue with Online Franchise. (ONF) If people think its great and its what theyve been asking for, then awesome for them. I will probably try it, but I dont see those few features to be enough of a draw to dedicate my time to an ONF.

As stated before, there are too many potential variables to occur that would prevent an instance of gameplay.

Like I said, I'll try it, but I'll most likely stick to my Offline Franchise (OFF) as I usually do every year.

Im not even upset that OFF doesnt match ONF.

If I can do online franchise with just myself, i'll be happy...can't remember if that's possible or not.
