just wanna play a regular season

So was I !!

But it seems that this is NOT to be.

They have a Franchise mode where you can be a coach,GM maybe a star player (but not the team?) or Fantasy mode (where you can draft players and you're basically playing a fantasy league, no set lineups that resemble the current NFL rosters)

THIS SUCKS!! I'm pissed that apparently EVERYTHING worthwhile is ONLINE only. I was looking to start a franchise season from training camp to the superbowl but not on this version. I paid $70 for a game I DOUBT will have any online support in a year (when the latest version comes out)

wow; how the f does that happen?  why would they take that out of the game;  got last years ncaa & it was fine how it was;  been away from maddens for years but always played the ncaa;  MADDEN  & EA CAN **bleep** OFF

thanks- my buddy told me to do it as owner and it works too but with too many extra options; why do i care about setting cotton candy prices at lambeau field?

start offline connected franchise; pick owner or coach instead of player  & u can control all players like normal
