"As most of you know, Franchise mode debuted in Madden NFL 99 on PlayStation, and since then, we’ve been adding on layers and layers of code each year to make it the most authentic experience possible."
Funny. I got the feeling they stopped giving a d**n around 2003.
And I rented Madden '10. Really thought the gameplay was excellent. I didn't buy it because of yet another half-a**ed effort in the franchise mode.

No one wants to play a season where 3 RBs get 2000+ yards, or the sack issue with many more.
the only way I swallowed franchise was by playing and controlling everyteam, I played every game in the season, therefore I played one franchise mode all yearm even though i played well over 250 games in it.
Agree with you Val!
I have not read the whole thread, but I'll add my 2 cents to the pile:
1. Frazier's "give us your suggestions" bit upsets me, to put it mildly. Don't they have any idea what we want by now? I'd write it here, but I don't want to be banned.
.
2. While I don't regret buying Madden 10, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn't buy Madden 11 unless there were major changes. After replaying Madden 10 (and nearly breaking my 52" tv
) I think upgrading the run blocking will make Madden 11 a buy for me , so I'm not too upset with the lack of franchise upgrades.
3. As I said earlier, I've been replaying Madden 10, and I agree with Frazier that franchise needs to be rebuilt from the bottom up. There is almost no value in just upgrading what's there IMO. I'll probably actually make my own franchise wishlist thread, but the tl,dr version is: pretend it's the year 2005.

Just read Adembroski's thoughts, and I have to say that, after my initial reaction, his objectivity helped alleviate a little of the sting.
1. The possibility that franchise might very well be everything we've hoped for is encouraging.
2. Dead-spot-on about the CBA and how that might totally change. Brilliant insight, adembroski.

This announcment to me isn't that big a deal since I am not a franchise player... But for the people who live and breathe franchise, That's huge.. I haven't bought a Madden since 06 version and sold it within 2 months.. I was stuck on the other game and how well they did the OVERALL game.. Sure it had huge issues but in a few short years, They almost had a near perfect game in ALL aspects.. With that said, If they "Truly" have been working on gameplay and presentation I will be happy and would definately buy the game.. However, The problem with that is I can't trust this development team at all.. Every year they tell us it's the best madden ever and every year it's the same old overall gameplay and look.. Not to say this is a bad game. I just won't put my money on it.. But when they say gameplay, I really hope they mean OL/DL interaction,blocking,and Defensive AI..... To the people who are pissed and still buy the game, You guys are only hurting Maddens chances of ever being great. Because there are MILLIONS of people who do this and there are a ton of "Kids" that their parents get this game because it's the household name. I haven't had the urge to buy Madden for a long time now and every year I am actually hoping it's a decent game.. In all honesty, All I want is a Football game that does a majority right..I don't give a sh@t if it's EA,2k,505, or JOES videogame designers... Just give me a playable game..

I think that my Madden 11 reservation will be going towards NCAA 11 instead this year. Not trying to sound like a 
but, if franchise is the same I will just continue w/ Madden 10.

This is actually good news. For one they are being straight w/ the community. Also they are taking a couple of cycles to get important things implemented and not rushing things into this year.
Its good to see the new direction Madden is taking, this reassembled team might actually be able to get Madden ranked up there with other leading titles...And while i understand the concern of those who are disappointed, its better this way--to me anyway--even though we want it all right now.

Well, that's year 5 for me without Madden. I am totally pissed that Franchise Mode is ignored. The difference this year is that I don't have to spend the next few months following Madden news like the past few years trying to figure out if Franchise Mode delivered or not. I don't care about online. I feel that all sports games need to have an awesome season mode to give me a reason to kick playing. This goes for Madden, Live, 2K, Smackdown, etc. Sports games outside of MLB Show and EA's NHL series have been a huge disappointment this gen. It's a shame.
At least EA was upfront about it this time. I would suggest to you fans of the series to hold on to Madden 10, but you probably can't bear the commentary of Tom Hammond.

What I want to know is how exactly do they have a new slate next year? He said himself they can't strip it out and rebuild in a year so what makes next year any different? Really don't care about Madden 11, will not be buying it this year. I only play offline, only instance I buy it is if it gets amazing reviews from guys on here
At least tell me they added SOMETHING to Online Franchise. Salary cap? Not knowing rookie ratings before the draft? Being able to advance weeks from a computer? I mean seriously....
I don't play Franchise mode but I used to do so back on the Last-Gen consoles. Based on this news today it's clear that the game needs to splinter.
They need a Franchise game and a game for Oneline gamers. That way the integrity of the experience isn't compromised for either audience and they can also devote enough energies to these areas of the brand.

Has anyone noticed that they use the word "authentic" in almost everyone of their blogs or interviews?
Wow, the whining NEVER stops when it comes to Madden. Even when they are being UPFRONT about what's going on and state how they are going ahead with a clean slate AND want EVERYBODY to help make franchise better for Madden 12, people just get beside themselves with a whole lot of Negative Nancisms.
People complain about every aspect of Madden and when they try to focus on particular things year to year in layers, they can't get to everything because they DON'T have that much time with yearly releases. EVERY game company has numbers to make, including 2K, and when it comes to sports games, they come out every year. Again, NOT much time to get to everything. I could go on, but I won't. I BEEN knew about the engine and code being limited and have spoke on it so hearing such things don't bother me. They'll get a new engine. Trust me.
Now, this announcement about franchise doesn't really bother me. I'm good with it as long as the game play (and presentation) keeps getting better. I care most about game play and I get into the franchise every year. If it falls by the way side to keep improving gameplay, I don't care. I don't go all nuts about stats and the like, anyway. It's not like I'm the actual players getting PAID to put them up.
I'm good.
