My main issue with Longshot is the wasted potential of not adding it TO Franchise mode. Do everything they've done, but expand it into the CFM; expand it into the player's career; expand it into their Pro Bowl success; expand it to their Super Bowl victories; expand it into their Hall of Fame enshrinement.
Now YES, this will take more resources. BUT, if it's a part of Franchise mode, then it's already going to be affecting and adding TO Franchise mode. And not just indirectly. Presumably some of the stuff used for Longshot could then be used for Franchise in general.
So, this has a lot of potential, but not if they're only considering it as a marketing ploy to expand the customer base. IF they integrate it into Franchise mode, it could be special.
But unfortunately, it looks like the character is going to become a mascot, and every year it is going to have a different challenge for him. Madden 2019 I suspect is going to involve him making the team from the practice squad or something. Or if that is already in this year, then earning a starting job and maybe a Pro Bowl selection or something.

Oh yeah, I agree with that, too. I posted something similar in another thread. And, if they had chosen or pushed for adding story to CFM from the start, they might've been able to add more stuff within CFM while making it.
My targeting push to the suits would've been something like, 'create your own dynasty. Take your player from college to the pros. Win the super bowl. Etc, etc.'
Now, it's possible they add this next year continuing his story. And, I could see them doing it in a way that u make it to the playoffs, then lose. Then, next year, u go to Super Bowl and lose. Then, the year after that, u finally win. Lol. But, ultimately, they can continue the story with losing, losing, then finally winning the Super Bowl.
But, overall, yeah, I totally agree, they could've specifically put this inside CFM to onboard noobs, and then jump right into CFM. Now, here's the kicker, maybe. Because they've had a somewhat bare bones CFM, they don't have enough to offer after that. Like, if they did have a superstar mode that was blown out as a part of CFM, now u know how to go through it, and u start/create a new superstar after finishing the story and jump into your CFM. But, because they don't have this mode set up, yet. They couldn't do it. So, maybe next year, actually. With the sharing with NBA live, maybe, they'll add some features like that to CFM. And, maybe they'll also tie in the story to CFM when/if they do that. I think most of this community would be perfectly fine with that. Again, it's sort of the fact that they don't even have a fully fleshed out core CFM mode, yet. They should get that right, first.
And, to the people saying madden wants to bring in new people and expand their base. I gotta tell u, I don't think you're even pulling in all football fans, which is truly a shame. If madden concentrated more on CFM and the aspects of football that true football fans want, they would probably draw more people in and sell more units by finally bringing in all football fans, instead of pulling in a few more randoms. Who knows the exact numbers, here. But, seeing how concerned they are with bad YouTube videos and whatnot, they could fix that by simply committing full bore to football and football aspects. Meaning, if they had a fully fleshed out career mode with a great CFM, the youtubers would be promoting it more bringing in the rest of the football fans who boycott this game every year due to lack of features.
