For Franchise: Should there be a training camp?

[JoshC1977]

I don't really see the point - there is already enough extraneous stuff in the mode "as is".

They could just change the equation for XP gains during pre-season training weeks to heavily favor younger players. Simple and unobtrusive.

Until they add other dynamics to the mode (like scheme familiarity ratings for players); any other meaningful outcomes from adding a TC module would be a waste of effort.

What would you consider “extraneous”? I would think a lot of people would argue there isn’t enough in the mode.

I would love if there were randomised buffs applied based on player archetype and scheme match when establishing a new scheme in training camp according to the scheme (and then lock team schemes for in season as new player demands use this).

This would also work well when moving from 34d to 43d and vice versa, maybe a DE is very successful at transitioning and gets a coverage buff, maybe they don't etc.

Idea has been suggested to EA to also have a scheme lock setting based on HC, OC or DC too. That would play into the above.

I've gone through my feelings in other threads; it's off-topic for this thread.

Yes there should be. Not bashing EA. but they have done bare minimum each year for franchise mode. I wouldn't expect it to mimic even the ps2 days

Bring back the old training camp mini games from the PS2 era

Let's be honest even if it was added, a large percentage of people would hate it and opine about it not being enough like something from like 15 years ago.
