Madden 10 Brings Online Franchise
by 
As hoped for the big online announcement for Madden 10 was the inclusion of Online Franchise mode. Rather than if Peter Moore would be revealing Online Franchise the main question going in centered around whether it would be as fully featured as consumers would associate with a mode by such a name. Based on the trailer shown at the EA press conference and the audience reaction it appears this will not be a let down.
Announced on stage at the EA E3 2009 press conference, Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise features a robust feature set, including live drafts, player transactions, league message boards, and more – all manageable from your console, remotely through a web browser, or via a custom iPod Touch Application. Your Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise is always just a click away.
Last year it was Online Dynasty that made NCAA Football 10. This year NCAA has the creative Teambuilder feature to add on to that. However Madden may be stealing back some of that thunder with Online Franchise. The prospect of playing within an NFL franchise mode of up to 31 other people is incredibly intriguing.
Trades and the draft sound like so much fun when competing against other users. The live elements of the Online Franchise were a hurdle that they’ve apparently overcome and done so by offering multiple ways to complete them such as drafting on the web. Essentially it could be just as easy as completing fantasy football drafts.
Don’t worry about being tied to your console for your upcoming Online Franchise live draft. You and your friends can all participate simultaneously from your game console or online, via an Internet connection and web browser. Set your depth chart while waiting in line at the grocery store, and it will automatically be updated for your next game. Have access to your Madden NFL 10 Online Franchise 24/7, 365.
If you have questions about how the mode will work leave them in the comments and I’ll address them on Tuesday and Wednesday at E3. The mode will not be playable on the floor or even reachable through menus but it is open for discussion. I have a bunch of questions in mind but would appreciate anything else that would be interesting to report back on!

If anybody needs a player who kicks butt and takes names and never ever quits. Give Mo Diddley a call. My office is always open. I dominate Madden and I dominate fantasy football you know why? Because Mo Diddley is petal to the metal baby! Mo Diddley takes no prisoners. Mo Diddley will show em how er done!

Will draft classes finally have computer generated faces (or even better their likeness carried over from NCAA if importing classes)? Minor issue, but it really bugs me when in year 5 they show your starting lineup pre-game and only 2 players have pictures, or when updating depth charts or player management….

Here's a video of Josh Looman showing off Madden 10 franchise mode at E3. Awesome!

One simple question that will make the difference, Does the franchise have to have 32 user controlled teams? If this is the case forget it people. You will always have quitters, cheese, and laggers. Just make it an improved version of NCAA's online dynasty so me and 7 of my buddies can play a legit franchise. This way we dont spend a month trying to get green420man to play his week 2 game!

I would like to know why is Asante Samuel so pumped up in games on madden. Why is it that people can play with him and cause 3-6 FFum a game. In his whole carrer he only has 4 FFum. He had 3in the 04-05 seasson and he had 1 in the 06-07 seasson. he has 0in the past 2 seasson, but he is able to cause FFum better than all the LB on the game. Is this a glitch? If so when will this Asante Samuel glitch be fixed?
