Online connected franchise

I know it is highly unlikely but I would love to have online connected franchise. Pls upvote this for the devs to see this!

Except many folks who play Franchise do so because it is an offline mode. You may not appreciate this, but there is a large segment of customers who want nothing to do with online gaming. The concern we have is that if SDS were to do this, then they would be swamped by the chronic complaints issued by online gamers who think they should always win, and as such cave and start imposing operating limitations designed to appease them, but that degrade the offline experience.

@PriorFir4383355_XBL I get what you’re saying, and that’s why I think the best solution is to have two separate Franchise modes, similar to how NBA 2K does it. Their online Franchise is basically just trading, games, and free agency — pretty bare bones — while the offline version keeps all the depth and freedom. That way people who want a connected experience get it, and the offline community doesn’t lose anything. I wish SDS would take that same approach

I wouldn't have a beef with that and in an ideal world, I would openly support it. But, again, we have to couch our desires with a healthy dose of self-awareness of what SDS is doing, or perhaps more accurately not doing.
There are game modes that have existed in this title for over five years that have languished with zero attention to detail in terms of actual upgrades. Given this, I think we need to focus acute attention of those deliberately neglected game modes. Also, the community that plays online modes needs to stop acting like they represent the entire customer base. Folks, you do not.
That's not a slight. It's simply a statement of objective fact. Overall point being, until SDS upgrades what has been in the game, I don't want to see them introduce new modes to the game, especially online modes. Because online modes have received a vastly disproportionate share of support.
