^^39.99 dollar game? thought it was 59.99?


Uahhh ,I was really hoping this was a nightmare,,,but I wake up and its still here.

So what has Looman done since 10 came out.Work on those cards?

I really cant believe they add in Gameflow and Gameplan and nothing to Franchise.
What ever happened to those easy updates for Online Franchise.I thought they could update it anytime becaue it was diff than NCAA's Dynasty?

I could tell Phil why no one played Online Franchise( I played till I got to the offseson and found out its practically a Online Leadue)
But I think alot of other people have already done that.

I really cant believe this is happenning .REALITY CHECK! really sinking in.Im just lost about Madden,If Im purchasing it or not.Geez I dont even know how to explain myself.

I mean wasnt this the year for FRANCHISE?! Didnt they tell us that 10 would be the building the foundation game for Franchise ? Hate is a strong word.But man whoever said theres a thin line between love and hate wasnt kidding

And furthermore, Mr. Frazier, why would you ask the modes fans to give you ideas when they've populated most boards wishlists for years now? It comes across as a lame way of attempting to get us excited about your news and is borderline insulting.

wished they were adding new things to franchise (practice squads, preseason roster cutdowns, etc...), but am fine with the direction they are seemingly taking. No matter how deep or robust franchise mode is, if the gameplay on the field is severely lacking, then it makes the robust franchise all for not.

Not that to start a comparison trend, but I can't help but remain optimistic since this is the same approach SCEA took with The Show and its franchise mode, at least thats how I view it. They tweaked the franchise they had in place until the game on the field was, well, where they wanted it as a whole. After that, they added features to the franchise mode to make it as robust as it is now.

A couple of months ago the EA store had a code available to where you could get $20 off the purchase of Madden 11 and NCAA 11 (using the code for each seperatley)! They also chipped in Free Shipping!

I don't care that it might take a week or two.......For $20 off, I'll wait! Plus, both games will probably need to be patched.

I'm really shocked at the timing of this news. Why would they announce that they aren't adding new features to franchise before E3 and say they are building it from the ground up for Madden 12? It makes zero sense and just about kills the excitement for Madden 11 and for E3. I was looking forward to E3 to hear about franchise, as I'm sure most people were. There is nothing to look forward to for E3 at all.

Good Lord.
