Just give up. EA Madden will never have a good offline franchise mode in the near future. As long as this current dev team is in place where they place almost no priority on it I can't see my buying Madden for a long time. There is no evidence this will change as the cpu AI in terms of time management and play calls is as bad as ever. And franchise improvements? Slider improvements? Camera options? Highly doubtful. Maybe PS6.
