Is it a deal breaker?

warren123 · 07-03-2011, 01:29 PM

Nope. I'll play online and offline either way, I just hope the game is good enough to keep my attention longer than it did this year.

For me personally, Offline franchise is so immersive I don't even need Online franchise. Doing my own thing and building up my team into a contender and eventual Super Bowl champion is the #1 reason why I buy Madden year in and year out.

Could be. I prefer online but my leagues have always been 12-16 players customized schedules and no cpu. I hate being forced to use a full 32 team league with cpu teams or paying to use league daddy to customize the league the way we want. Right now, I'm about 60-40 I'm gonna pass after watching E3 vids and expecting zero online improvements.

The offline franchise upgrades seem focused on offseason improvements. DPP is mostly noted with cpu qbs and not much else from what I read. That's not gonna be enough to keep me interested as I alway quit from boredom about 4 games into a season when I played M10 and 11.

As much as i once enjoyed online i now only play offline because of all the cheeser's out there so i'll get madden 12 regardless what online has or dosen't have, so online is not important to me anymore...and that is really sad because at one time i was an online only player, but now they have bumped up offline i am very excited for the new madden.

I used to play only offline, but once I started playing in online franchises I can't even stand playing against the cpu anymore... I played in a online franchise with all 30 teams filled up, and I'm having more fun with Madden than ever...

I'll still enjoy the online franchise if it's exactly the same... The only thing that I really want is random draft classes...Anything after that will be icing on the cake... Full stats would be nice also..

I voted buy Madden anyways BUT I'm buying both. Didn't use that answer as the "programmed to buy it" isn't why I buy.
I buy because I want to. If I see things I don't like I don't buy. This year they both meet my approval so I'm buying both.
