For instance, you will often start a season with 4 or 5 home games in a row, followed by 4 or 5 road games in a row. In real life, no team plays more than 2 weeks in a row at home or on the road. Ever. When they do, its only because of an outlier one off situation (like a team is going through renovations and it won't be ready till week 4). I imagine that its difficult to create logic that produces perfect schedules. Even the NFL itself would have to manually make adjustments after their own algorithm spits out a schedule at first. -------------------------------------------------------------- ******* SUGGGESTION /// EASY TO FIX *********** -------------------------------------------------------------- The NFL moved to 8- 4 team divisions in 2002 and their hasn't been one realignment since. 2002 - 2016 = 15 seasons of different and 'correct' official schedules Madden could borrow and put in Franchise mode to correct this simple issue. Madden 2016 season 1 of franchise = 2016 Real NFL schedule Madden 2017 season 2 of franchise = 2002 Real NFL schedule Madden 2018 season 3 of franchise = 2003 Real NFL schedule Madden 2019 season 4 of franchise = 2004 Real NFL schedule ....... and so forth Then after 15 seasons, do it again and you got your 2nd half of a 30 year franchise Done... no real algorithm needed to try and figure out the logic

madden has regularly had scheduling issues. i’ve often played seven or eight game son the road during a season. IIRC, two years ago, someone posted a reason for this explaining that the developers have never been able to iron out the glitch that causes this.

i get annoyed playing the same four teams in preseason every year. don’t mind playing DEN & SD as the niners always play them in real life but playing LAR each season is annoying.

once finished a half tied at 13-13. kicked off the second half and they’d already been awarded another TD. has only happened once.

what do you mean by “after draft class update”?

yeah, this has been there for years. constantly not having your own sack leader show up against his peers in the stats page is annoying. i’m fairly sure it effects end of season D awards.

this happens all the time. at first, i thought i was doing something wrong but soon i realised that the QB was "locked".

i’ve seen lots of players just run near a player streaking down field. CB & S on long passes after the catch.

not seen a QB do this following an INT however. wonder if this is connected?

yep. way too many. too frequent and oddly done. have seen games tied at 33-33, 38-38 and 45-45 after four quarters but no one scores even a FG in OT? c’mon!

there are lots of commentary slips. in his second season, my QB was being referred to as a rookie (he’d actually played as a rookie). he’s been referred ever since as having one fewer years of experience than is accurate.

my third year WR scored a TD and they praised him for scoring a TD on his NFL debut. he’d played 20 plus games at this point and score a dozen TD.
