Madden NFL 10 Preview: Online Franchise Revealed (IGN)

11:27 PM - June 1, 2009 by Steve_OS

IGN has posted their preview of Madden NFL 10, talking about some more online franchise details.

Quote:


	"When you start up your league, one person is designated as the commissioner. It's his job to approve trades and to decide whether to kick things off with a live fantasy draft or go with traditional rosters. Trades can be done in several different ways. You can go for a 3-for-3 trade, a 2-for-3 trade, you can include draft picks or future draft picks in the deal. The only catch is that every move needs to be given the go-ahead by the commish. Here's hoping that there's a voting mechanic to overthrow unruly commissioners who unfairly favor one team over another. Cooler still is the ability to change things within your franchise from a PC or iPhone while on the go. EA Sports is planning to offer an online franchise hub of sorts, along with an iPhone application, that will let you do things like set your depth chart, propose trades and possibly simulate games on your schedule (though that's still up in the air) with the consent of the other player. The interface for all of these interactions is run through EA Sports World and looked sleek and fairly easy-to-use from my quick demo. The demoer quickly shuffled his quarterbacks and the Xbox sitting next to the PC instantly updated with the new information."

In NCAA if you had 1 guy who hadn't played or missed his time/went MIA/whatever then he would be put on "autopilot".

At this point if the owner plays a cpu team it's a simulated game (cpu vs. cpu) and whatever happens happens. If its an owner and he plays an owner then the owner that has been waiting or ready to play the guy who just went MIA plays his game against the cpu. Its very simple trust me.

Like I said I thought this would be a mess in NCAA and IMHO it was great.

Pretty sure that was referring to the position-specific cameras in co-op.

Anyone know if there is an option to have Online Franchise Co-op? Two players on the same team

Yeah for real man, I want to see the full version of some of those cutscenes, like the game intros and whatnot. The fans getting hotdogs, tailgating, and of course the extra point show.
