Madden 13 - Conference Alignment

[unc_kobw]

So I know in NCAA Football games you can realign conferences in dynasties. Will you be able to make any division or conference realignment in Madden 13? Me and some friends are going to do an online franchise, and we want to balance out the conference so we don't have all the best users playing in the same conference. I want to see the best two players/teams in the Superbowl, not the Conference Championship game.

I doubt the NFL will allow EA to do that and put that in their games. I think it would be a great idea and would be nice for fans to have a throw back to the old division alignment. I would love it to be honest, I would love to re-new the Ravens-Titans Rivalry and make the AFC North a better division.

It's something that I think would be a great idea on paper, but I just don't think the NFL would allow it.

Madden and NFL 2k used to have that feature to make custom divisions

True but most likely the NFL put a stop to it, which is why I said while this would be a great idea, the NFL just won't allow it. In NCAA games, it works because teams move conferences more frequently than NFL teams move divisions.

I think the OP needs to put this idea into the Wishlist Thread for Madden 14.

I doubt the NFL prohibits such an option, rather I see no reason why EA would work to include this. 99% of players aren't going to use a feature like that, and hence it is just taking up code space. People want the game to be as realistic as possible, so that is what the Madden Team is doing...

True but why not make it a Offline option? Similar to modifying rosters, you can modify your divisions before going into a Connected Careers but you just can't take your modified Divisions Online. You can play with it offline as much as you want but Online is a no.

Would something as small as this really be prohibited?

I dislike the idea of EA reverting to separating the two communities (On/Offline) again after coming out and saying that they didn't want to do that anymore with a everyone-gets-everything approach in Connected Careers. I'm in no way implying I wouldn't be up for the option, but not as a on/offline exclusive.
