EA is Definitely More Serious About Franchise in Madden (Analysis)

[TecmoZack]

Excellent read. I am super optimistic that I will at the very least finish a season for the 1st time since Madden 25. Sounds intriguing and immersive.

It's probably one of the new schemes they've been working on that they didn't want to reveal the name of for whatever reason.

It's still crap that you can't set multiple archetypes in schemes for positions like WR & DT.

I will never take them serious until they bring in a PROPER 32 team control for franchise. not a 32 profiles spend all day starting one franchise. to use workarounds.

Yeah that would be nice. I still like what I'm seeing so far with more to come. Best time of the yr besides football season.

Seeing is believing.

I'm pretty sure we see a piece similar to this pop up every year.

I know some might be disappointed or wanted a lot more from Franchise mode. But I'm trying to be optimistic. I think they are stepping into the right direction. I think this is a year where the devs were finally able to take a step back and work on legacy issues with gameplay and Franchise. I rather them get core gameplay and franchise to a solid level before adding more to it. That would be adding layers onto a bad foundation. I would love to see Coach Carousel, but it wouldn't be as satisfying if we are dealing with ton of bugs.
So if they get the core franchise to a solid level this year, I can see Franchise getting a big upgrade next year. Like they said, this isn't a one year plan. This might take 2-3 more years before we get a very in-depth Franchise. My only concern is the transition to next generation of consoles. These last two generations, Madden has taken a step back in Franchise.
