Five Predictions for Next Season

[glitch3d]

I don't particularly need Online Franchise. I need them to fix the offline one and put a tad bit roar into the crowd. The gameplay better wouldn't hurt either.

It's ridiculous because I'm not asking for much.

I predict for next year EA will fix many of the problems that plagued both Madden and NCAA this year but, at the same time they'll screw something else up that's working well.

Example. They fixed the turnover problem this year, but the playcalling has regressed 15 years. You get the idea.

I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist but, isn't funny how EVERY year there seems to be at least one MAJOR problem with the game?

Honestly, do we have any reason to believe that next year will be any different? The crew that puts EA football games together has sadly become a complacent group of lazy programmers. These two titles still have the same problems that have plagued the series for years. Lack of competition has done this. It's not a coincidence that the NHL and FIFA series have made the greatest strides in development.

Yeah, I usually end up turning off the game at half time cause I cant make it through the whole game. Guess my will is weak, lol. Its like ground hog day, everytime I turn on the game, I'm still on my second franchise game. Very tempted to play a quarter or two and sim thru the rest, but I'm a fanatic and any stats accumulated by my player (dont switch players) I want to be the one to do it, ya know. Problem is, I'm not immersed enough in the game to finish em. Presentation and atmosphere is VERY important.

This is exactly what happens to me. I was playing my week 3 franchise (Cowboys) game in Green Bay and just could not get through the 2nd quarter because I was so bored.
