Why can't Live just copy Madden's dynasty mode?

Why can't Live just copy Madden's dynasty mode?
or NHL's?
Both of those dynasty modes are so much better.
Sure, NBA Live takes a lot from NHL's dynasty mode, but it's quite different.
Also, the trade AI and the free agency AI is quite different too.
I don't think there is that Free Agency problems in those games.

Why not just copy it? Why?
Or copy it and improve it.
Please.

We've been saying that since live 2000. Two completely different teams man.

can't they contact each other?
they are in the same EA Sports.
If the development teams for Splinter Cell and Prince of Persia have cooperated with making carpet/rope graphics, why can't EA?
It shouldn't be that hard to incoorporate.

They develop the games about a minute a part, it shouldn't be that hard.

Maybe its because live is made in Canada..... well, i don't even know where madden is made...... but... yea they should just use the same teams to produce to simulations of every game and just have different teams for the sports gameplay

djeez, stop whining :roll: , the teams are not working together, simple as that, if everyone is gonna say a hundred times here they should work together aint gonna make it happen, they just simply dont, accept it and move on(not tryin to bash u guys, but this has been said about a million times in the last months, so get over it pls :) )

I thought I remembered seeing Madden stuff in EA Canada, but now that I'm thinking about it I'm doubting it. :?

Black Ops does Madden and i think there based in Florida. BTW--I don't want the madden team doing anything with Live. They don't let 3rd party patchers do anything graphics wise to there games--it sucks.

you dont have to work with ea to see how much better madden is than live. it dont matter if the live team works half way across the world, some of them if not all have played madden and only a blind man cant see that madden is hands down far away the best sports game there is. which is to bad since i love bball above all else.

after having played the demo, i'd reserve that spot for fifa 2004 (Y)

All the games are made by different companys

madden is made by EA tibourn, located in Florida, Maitland

NBA Live is made in EA CAnada.

I do agree EA Canada should use Maddens franchise code, as it woul dmake the franchis emode more enjoyable, IMO

My dad is actually doing some work at EA Canada to find a process sort of thing (I don't know) to help them easily move game modes and graphics etc. from game to game by giving them a way to use the same coding and whatnot. I'm not entirely sure on what exactly he's doing.
