Why can't madden use franchise drafts for created teams in cfm?

[No Name]

The years the texans came into the league that madden let u do a franchise draft if u pick them I loved it.since I like making crappy teams good but it's never been used again I always thought it be awesome for adding created teams to franchise mode in stead of having to replace a team idk just seems ldk something so simple and easy to implement ....would anybody else like to see this?

I'd imagine there are a few reasons why we don't see this-

- there's no expansion draft happening anytime soon in the real NFL, there is no real noise about any new teams right now (as opposed to teams relocating, which is handled by Owner Mode)
- implementing expansion draft logic with the existing teams (i.e. doing a roster dump of one team into free agency, expansion draft with the remaining 31 teams) might cause roster management wonkiness / unexpected behavior
- the season schedule generation logic probably only handles 32 teams, completely ruling out an expansion team option
- low demand for the feature in the general case; if we can't get formation subs, I can't imagine where this falls on the list

Ya I hear ur points still don't think it ne that hard to implement I mean they had it on a ps2 game.just add 1 nfc 1 afc expansion team no need to roster dump an entire team into fa.and scheduling with an 3xtra 2 teams shouldn't be too hard if u start after season 1 were the game schedule is randomized anyway there was a baseball game that did thus well yrs ago

Yep lots of behind the scenes stuff that would be affected.
I have 0 programming know how so I have no clue how hard or easy something is to implement.

Idk I'm dumb but I don't see how this would majorily effect anything
