Why are you restarting? Do you play offline or online? It applies to all franchises

Maybe he restarted yesterday when there was intel that offline was not saving, only cloud franchises.

I'm only 1 game in, but I would have restarted too, but no need to now.

one of the QB upgrade scenarios

is there any way to see these again after you have viewed them once?

Yeah, you can't now and could not previously.

Which is a low-key pain. Several times, I've looked at the scenario, then ended up logging off before playing that game. When I come back to it, I don't always remember the scenario, or sometimes even that a scenario is in play.

A scenario tracker/indicator in-game would go a long, long way as a quality of life thing.

Unless someone else does it first, I'm going to reset a franchise and let you all know if it allows me to name the owner again. It's been broke for weeks, lately.

Do all the settings have to be set in league settings or some in your profile?

Wow. The fact that all league members can edit abilities and there's no commissioner toggle is baffling

Not being a league player myself, can you expand on why that's a big deal? I don't see it personally...to me, it feels like if the player has the ratings for the ability, what would be the purpose of restricting them to what EA randomly rolled for the player?

I get that it flies in the face of EAs statement that they "want to empower commissioners to define the playing experience for their leagues"...it's odd to say that and then not put a toggle on this, I agree...but what's the gameplay impact I'm missing?

Note: I'm not challenging you that there IS a gameplay impact...I just don't know what that is, and I'm curious.

There are certainly some abilities that are "better" than others. I think the concern is seeing players basically all gravitating to the same handful of abilities...which basically puts the game back into M20 territory with a small number of abilities being used...which hurts diversity and a little bit of that "luck of the draw". With no easy manner of monitoring it...it's going to be problematic for those in online leagues.

Play Cool-Down and Repeat Play Limits was that included with this update?

There's Abilities that are "the best" that everyone will now be able to put on their players. Escape artist for QB, human joystick for hb, lurker for LB, etc. This really sucks.

Fair enough, thanks.

I figured it was some variation of "everybody will take the same ones", but I wasn't carrying that through into long-term league health.

Devil's advocate: isn't the issue really that the abilities are unbalanced, and not that everybody can have them now?

In yesterday's world, those abilities were still better....it's just that some people randomly got them, and others didn't. How competitive you were was a matter of a one-time dice roll that you really couldn't manage; there's no "get gud" for dice.

In today's world, that playing field has been tilted more toward user management and away from random luck.

Again, this is your world, not mine....Josh's point regarding long-term league diversity is well taken. Just kind of kicking the idea around for myself.
