Should Super Star mode be it's own seperate game?

[big_larry]

Like NFL Head Coach, I think this would be better for both Franchise and Super Star mode. This way they will be able to focus on both independently, making them both a much deeper experience im sure. My guess is that EA does not want to put the effort in a separate game for SS mode and it not sale. But they can market SS mode as a whole new type of football experience, that will maybe bring in new players if done right. Im thinking along the lines of a football RPG/SIM's type game, I think it could sell on it's own.

So basically there would be 3 Madden games: one for SS mode, one for Franchise, and one for Exhibition? That's a terrible idea. All of EA's other titles have been able to step it up and have gameplay improvements while making career mode good, so I don't think that we should hold Madden to a different standard because they don't want to work as hard.

Plus, the separation of game modes into separate games would just be an excuse for EA to charge you $120-180 for Madden instead of $60.

Superstar Mode was plenty deep in later editions last-gen, and it's not fundamentally different from Madden like NFL Head Coach was.

At its core, Superstar Mode is still Madden. NFL Head Coach would never have worked as a gamemode, and Superstar Mode would never work as a game. An entire game based only on controlling one player and playing through a career..? Especially when all of the other major sports games have this as a gamemode, free of charge? It'd never work.

And besides, I'm not interested in having them add fluff like buying things with your money or giving interviews. I'd rather keep the focus on the football.

The biggest thing I'd like them to add is more in-depth practices during the week, with game film review, specific plays based on what you need to improve, and drills.

from my understandin' ... the devs have enough disc space to add more features to each mode ... but they would like more memory ...

they did say they were gonna look at improvin' superstar mode and franchise mode .. for madden 12 .. but no promises ..

i hope they do because that's what i like to play ... and if they don't improve those modes ... i might as well keep playin' madden 10 ...

That would just be too many games. SS mode is pretty good as is. Although, I admit I haven't played it that much.

No.

See NFL Head Coach, NFL Head Coach 09, NFL Street, 1, 2, and 3, and NFL Tour.

Im saying keep franchise mode in Madden, it would be better for franchise mode because they could focus on just that, instead of focusing on both modes to be released at the same time, they could work on both of them separately, therefore they would be able to put more of an effort into each mode. It would be sweet if they could make SS mode like rpg/SIM's type game.
