Online Dynasty, Seahawks Alternates Slip Out?

As noticed in the video revealing online co-op in Madden 10 last night lead designer Ian Cummings makes reference to Online Franchise. Obviously most are now expecting that Online Franchise is the big announcement coming on Monday. It does seem likely, though I remain somewhat hesitant to jump right in to that assumption and get my hopes up too high.

Given that EA isn’t going to clarify anything to do with online co-op until Monday that makes me believe that the two are tied together in some fashion. It could be that (as I guessed weeks back) they have a combination of the two. I would hope though that EA wouldn’t use the term Online Franchise unless it was true to the meaning and incorporated all aspects of the mode including the draft and free agency. Basically it has to be to Madden what Online Dynasty is to NCAA. Simply offering the ability to take your franchise games online and play with a teammate would be a pretty big letdown to most after all this build-up. We’ll see how it all plays out on Monday.

Something else interesting that I came across in an ESPN video was the inclusion of an alternate jersey for the Seahawks. Rumor is the team will be introducing a lime green 3rd jersey and wearing it on one or two occasions this year. To date though the jersey in question has not been officially revealed. Despite this in the video where Mark Sanchez is playing with the Jets as Aaron Curry controls the Seahawks the lime green alternates are being used. I’m curious to find out whether these are the official alternates as provided by the NFL or if they were just created based on a mock-up so as to provide the team with an alternate resembling what they might wear this season. (Update) I have confirmed that they did have some form of reference for these.

      I'd buy one if they wear it. The lime green Sounders jerseys are great and probably the inspiration for the Seahawks finally coming out with their alternate.

    True, but I think that color goes better with soccer players than it does football players. Not to sound like a fashion guru or something, but I think the lime green is a better secondary color than it is a primary jersey color.

      I wouldn't say ugliest ever. The Saints gold jerseys aren't so hot. Also, the Browns orange is brutal….

      I would have to see the actual uniform before I make a true judgment but I think they look sharp….However, I agree that this is a soccer color

    Personally I even like the Dolphins orange alternate. Josh Wilson lime green jersey will be my purchase for this year :)

      As a die-hard Seahawk fan I am absolutely disgusted with these. How long did the jersey guys play around with photoshop before they came up with this 'winner'? 8 seconds? Our all blue jerseys are one of the best home looks in the league. Now it looks like Superman vomited all over the 53-man roster.

      PS – Pasta, love your website, but I will be one of the many Seahawk fans making fun of your lime green atrocity when you sport it. Not because it looks like something Neon Deion Sanders would have rocked in 1990, but because it's of Josh Wilson. Were they out of the long-snapper's jerseys?

    As a long time Seahawks fan, the lime greens look better than I would expect. However, I like the old uniforms much better. Call me old school but the silver helmets with the blue and emerald green logo was the best.

    I wish Seattle would have stuck with the emerald green.

    THE HAWKS SHOULD ONLY WEAR THE OLD SCHOOL JERSEYS IN NIGHT GAMES OR MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL GAMES, THATS WHERE THEY HAD THE MOST SUCCESS IN THE 80'S IN PRIMETIME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF BO JACKSON RUNNING OVER BOSWORTH

    Well, I must say, I'm liking all the new features presented so far, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed seeing the game in motion. I haven't studied every move or anything, but it looks to be same as usual with a few tweaks here and there.

    Also, the commentary in what they've shown so far is HORRIBLE! I hope it's just a demo build with the commentary, because if it sounds as choppy as what we've heard so far, that's really going to take a bite out of the realism factor.

    Sorry if this is negative. I try and stay positive most of the time about future releases, but just had to keep it real and share some initial impressions. Online co-op is the bomb, though!

      Yeah, I think it is sort of a veraion that doesn't have all the features, remember they still have to make a few adjustments with FA, I don't think they finalize madden rosters untill late June.

    Pasta, keep it real now. Those Seattle alternate jersey's are absolutely horrible. They look like something a 3 year old would scribble on some paper with crayons in the dark. If I was a Seattle Seahawk the day they tell me to wear this is the day I pull up lame in practice to avoid playing that game. They look like something Lucky Charms might put inside their cereal box. Those jersey's don't match a dag gone thing.

    It seems like EA is finally listening to what true madden fans want in their game…It's the lil things that count…from hand warmers..new gloves…improved route running and pass blocking..I even noticed they brought back colored cleats…that means alot to me it's the details that make the game look real…As long as they have the right pro bowl helmets and I would love to see long socks….like most DB's and WR's wear like charles woodson calvin johnson and ocho cinco this will be the best game ever….And changing a player's hair style would be cool like the old madden just in case a player cut's his dreads or grows dreads during the season you could change it on the game…

    That's not lime green. That's RAVE GREEN. GO SOUNDERS! I'm glad to see the Seahawks are going to have a similar jersey to their soccer team. I might even get one of those Seahawks jerseys just because it looks like my Sounders jersey. Beautiful sight.

THAT LIMITS YOUR PLAY CALLING ABILITY! NOW IF IM COVERED BY THREE DEFENSIVE PLAYERS THATS A DIFFRENT STORY MORE THAN LIKELY IT SHOULD BE A PICK EACH TIME! I JUS WANT TO KNO THAT!

    You know what I would like to see? I would love it if I could give my individual players their own style. For example: Terrance Newman- Wears Double pair of socks like his favorite X-NFL player Deion Sanders!! I would love to put two pair of socks on my players. Lots of players do it. Clinton Portis, Ken Hamlin, Santana Moss, Deshawn Jackson, etc..

      Now thats paying attention to detail I agree with you totally!! you should be able to edit the color part of the sock some playere have a little part of white showing and some players have a lot of white showing see deion sanders but hey I can't complain they finally added towels, every face mask, third team colors for gloves, colored cleats. Now for detail geeks like me just add colored mouth pieces and double socks and I might lose my damn mind !!!!!! aug14 is so far away

    If some of guys missed the comment before, it was an April Fools hoax posted on Paul Lukas' Uniwatch blog. Mr. Lukas writes for ESPN, so I think the E.A. guys took Paul's harmless prank on his readers as "gospel".

    lime green… really?

    The Seahawks need design help. I actually don't think the current dark green is bad, but they wear them in a bad combo. They would look much better with the dark green top/white pants. And then the opposite of that. Why they wear the green-on-green action I'll never know.

      I'll never know, either. Probably because they wear blue/blue not green/green. The Seahawks aren't green (minus this new St. Patrick's Day version). Green is the Incredible Hulk. Blue is Batman. We're Batman.

      Green is the color of money, 'go' lights, weed, trees, and envy.
      Blue is the color of the sky, the Navy, balls (on occasion), and sadness.

      I hope I've provided you enough examples between the difference of color.

      (FUN FACT: IF YOU TAKE THE COLOR YELLOW AND ADD IN SOME BLUE YOU'LL GET GREEN!)

        Yellow and blue doesn't always make green buddy. Do some research 1st. If u mix yellow and blue light you get guess what…….yellow and blue light but your eyes might detect it as white to grey depending on the mixture. Now that is a TRUE FUN FACT! Mr Dobalina
