I only play offline Franchise, worth getting?

I haven't played Madden since Madden 10, are there enough improvements for me to pick this game up on sale for $30? All I care about is offline franchise and gameplay (after I adjust sliders)

This is all I play as well and I feel it's worth $60, so definitely yes at $30, I'm picking up a copy for my 360 tomorrow since it's a great price.

I just started looking through these forums and I noticed many people complaining about coaching schemes and unrealistic stats? Is it that bad because I do enjoy having realistic stats and I don't want franchise to be a mess 4 years down the road

It's definitely worth it. The franchise mode is very deep, and the coaching schemes and sliders can be worked together to create a good statistical balance.

Whatever flaws you might find with the AI team management you can correct with 32 team control, automating whatever tasks you like and handling whatever tasks you like. You can keep an eye on trades and make sure nothing freaky happens, and then just roll with your team.

When you put all that together it makes for a pretty complete offline experience.

If your looking for another opinion Madden 12 is definitely worth getting only if you play offline, I do the same thing and I find it enjoyable. If you just find the right sliders and stuff like that and you enjoy playing a deep franchise then it's a safe buy

Defintely worth it. Madden is not yet where I think it should be but its getting there.

I say, go and get NFL Headcoah 09, no joke.

At one point, I was ready to give up on the game. Then I found my perfect sliders. Last night I played my first Franchise season game, Saints vs Packers.
Greatest Madden game I've ever witnessed. Rodgers just disected the Saints defense, scored 24 first half points, won 42-14. The reason I say it was so great was that with correct sliders, they've really captured the play style of each unique team on a level I havent seen before.
By ALL Means go out there and get this game!
