Indeed. I bought Madden this year as I really enjoyed the improvements they made in the gameplay department. However, I found online franchise to be lacking (no player contracts, FA, being able to see the entire rating of every player in the draft, etc...)

EA also has indicated in the past that their "core" NCAA gamer and their "core" Madden gamer are completely different animals in their eyes. I have gotten the impression that EA believes the NCAA "core" plays dynasty and online dynasty the most and their Madden "core" are the "East Room" play now online crowd.
