I did at one point, but after awhile, I'm just like "Why am I wasting my time?"

The fact of the matter is that online has limited replay value....especially when you play ranked opponent. At least in a franchise mode, you can build new teams, draft players, trade players, etc. Plus you don't have to deal with cheese, play on your own time, etc.

I completely disagree, online has unlimited replay value because everyone plays the game much differently unlike playing vs. the CPU AI which is mostly the same experience every game.

What game have you been playing? 75% of Madden 10 randoms I have played uses variants of the same type cheese tactics, money plays, nanos, etc. It gets tiring and stale after awhile.

If you can find a group of sim gamers to play with, I get your point. But most people don't do that. Most people go online and get bombarded with cheese and exploits.

What game have you been playing exactly? No Madden online doesn't have unlimited replay value considering that almost every player cheeses and does the same thing over and over because a win is a win. No strategy, no tactics, no gameplan at all.

Sorry but no thanks.

maybe there just not that many online players that people think there are, example" Myself, I love playing franchise offline, always have.

Make offline franchise better...period. If not, I'm not interested in this game at all.

I play a mixture of random folks with mics and friends. If you want to play random online folks you need to find someone with a mic. People are not as cheesy when you're actually conversing with them and they can't hide behind the screen.

As for you guys who are against online and only play offline, sorry to say but that's the future, you will have to accept that sooner or later. It reminds me of guys who only played Madden with the digital pad and railed against the analog stick...
