If you choose to start a career online, you're given the option to start a league yourself or join an existing one. Leagues can be marked as private or public, and the commissioner (usually the league's founder) can force the weeks to advance if things seem to be going slowly. You can tweak the settings of an online league to your liking, even going so far as to make it private with a maximum of a single human player (you).After choosing your online league, or selecting to run one offline, you're given the choice whether you want to,. Check out those sections for more details on how to get started.What Makes the Franchise 'Connected'? The overall goal in Connected Franchise is to play in the league as a player, coach, or owner, become skilled, win champions, and increase your personal Legacy Score to get you into the Hall of Fame. Franchises are connected because if you're playing online, you can compete with other human-controlled players to get to the Hall of Fame as well.Even better, if you get bored of a character, you can just roll up a new one regardless of whether you're playing online or offline.
Simple select the 'Retire' option from the player options, and your current player or coach will retire. But you, as the human player, can just make a new character (not necessarily even at the same position or team) and just keep going with your personal NFL universe! Even online, you'll be given the choice whether you want to create a new character, or if you want to withdraw from the league entirely and open up the player spot.Multiplayer Franchise There are basically two types of human players in Connected Franchise: we'll call them the 'avatars,' and the 'support player(s),” though they have no real in-game designation.There can only be a maximum of 32 avatars per franchise, and maximum one per. If you're playing or, the avatar is the one who does roster moves, personnel decisions, relocation decisions, and so on. The avatar can still simulate games if they don't actually want to play the game (and basically treat it as a text-based simulation). You can create as many avatars as you wish for a given save file, regardless of who owns it. For example, a single human player can create 32 avatars if they want to control an entire league by themselves.

They won't be able to control both sides of a given game, of course, but they could make trades with themselves to ensure that they're accepted, for example. More practically, you and your friends can all create avatars to play Madden together, even if your friends don't have profiles on your console.Avatars' turns can be skipped any time and, if set so in the league setup, the AI can make the decisions for that avatar. Players can therefore be unavailable for whatever reason, and everyone else can advance as needed. Unless limited by the commissioner, avatars can be created or dropped at any time during the life of the franchise.Meanwhile, the support players are the ones who just want to play along, but don't want to deal with teams.
They don't need to sign in to Xbox Live or PSN, and can help the avatar in offline co-op games. Support players can also play against the avatar, if you wish to play adversarial games, or if you want to put the fix in to help the avatar.Support players cannot play online, regardless of mode.
There are no options for an online commissioner to enable co-op franchise.Offline franchises are generally unrestricted. However, if an avatar is playing, the support player cannot play co-op.
However, a support player can play adversarial. If the avatar is or, then co-op is allowed, and support players can split among the main player(s) and AI teams as they wish.Avatars can be any mix of players, coaches, or owners per the league settings in a given franchise. Even though two avatars cannot control the same team, one thing that makes your franchises connected is that you can play games against other players online based in your specific characters. For example, if you're playing as an MLB for the while another human is playing as the coach for the, you two will face off twice during the season. The Bengals player will play the entire game as normal, but the Steelers player will only physically play the downs in which his MLB is actually a part of the play.
It can make for some interesting dynamics, especially if one human is a QB and the other is a CB.Limitations to Online Connected Franchises As previously mentioned, human players cannot control the same team. This means even if you're a coach, you cannot trade for a main player who is acting as a. However, you can trade for any other player, even on his team. For example, let's say a human user takes control of Tom Brady from the. As the coach or owner of a different team, you will be unable to trade for Tom Brady unless the human player quits the league. However, you could still trade for anyone else, such as Julian Edelman or Chandler Jones.This limitation also means any given league can only have a maximum of 32 human players (one for each team regardless of position). Also, you're sort of at the mercy of your opponent if you have conflicting positions.
To cite a previous example, our human who is controlling the Steelers will have a lot of downtime, since he's not actually doing anything for half the game. Playing as a player for online Connected Franchise is an exercise of some patience, but it's a fun and rewarding system in case you're bored of the standard gameplay.Realize though that the more humans controlling the game, the slower the league may move. If everyone is committed to playing regularly, you can swiftly move the league along and continue your career. When any player is ready to play their game, their opponent (if not an AI) will get an instant message through the console to do so as well.If someone is stalling and the commissioner doesn't want to force things, you might find yourself stuck waiting sometimes. Any matches you have against the AI can be done on your own time, but matches against human-controlled teams must be done live. You may want to coordinate with your opponent through Xbox Live or PSN messages to make sure your game happens.The above all applies to online Connected Franchises, of course. You have much fewer limitations for offline connected careers, and can advance at your own pace.
