Don't waste your time. I got drafted by the dolphins , got the starting job. When you play Madden 20 in this mode you see how bad the game really is. You can only control your player and when you hand off or pass the ball you see how bad the A.I. is. Players run out of bounds when they have an open field in front of them. They run directly into defenders instead of trying to avoid them. They don't use any of the moves offered by the game if you were controlling them like , juke , spin , stiff arm , they are brain dead.

I'd rather see EA focus on the regular franchise mode and dump this garbage completely.

Forget walking into the bathroom as a black HS senior. Forget not being able to edit anything other than your face until the pre-draft process. This is the most, rushed, poorly designed, and lazy marketing attempt Madden has ever made (and that's saying a lot). I know this probably has already been said a million times already, so sorry if I'm beating a dead horse. I heard the disappointment in Franchise and waited for the start of the season to check out FOTF and I just wasted $60. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart and my wallet, f**ck you EA.

Can I ask your playing history with American football gsmes? My 12 year old on pro difficulty is pretty far into his FOTF, and he doesnt get to play games as much. Not saying it cant be hard, but did you test this to see the outcome, or do you struggle that bad? I mean if you are having issues, instead of lashing out, ask for help

This, too. Lol.

Was wondering how bad he is, or playing on a difficulty that's ahead of where he should be playing

I can't speak to the difficulty level, but as a "career simulator" this is a joke. The fact that the mode just ends is really sad. There could be so many interesting ways to continue on and build a career. Maybe he plays on some practice squads before breaking through as the next franchise QB in Dallas where he ends up beating Haskins and the Redskins multiple times. Probably didn't have the "resources" for all that. Seems the last half decade the career modes have been all flash and no substance

Not to go too far off topic, but with their lackluster emphasis on franchise, is it really a shocker that they didnt put any lasting effort into this? Yes, call it a "step in the right direction", but how many more years will it take? We as a group have to understand that now-a-days the almighty dollar is prioritized over real innovation.

Ask yourself this, why spend more money, and use up dev's to work on modes that dont generate $$$? Exactly. They will ALWAYS prioritize MUT, and whatever new cash grabbing modes they come up with over chise, and superstar. Or they go the 2K route and microtransaction the hell out of it.

Nah, it will make at least one more appearance.

That's not the crux of the issue. The point is, a team wouldn't realistically cut a player they drafted in the 3rd-4th round (except Jachai Polite, apparently LOL). The point being that you shouldn't be forced to retire if you don't win the starting job. Anyone defending EA on that... I don't even really know what to say. It's stupid. Just calling it what it is. If the mode was expanded, maybe you'd remain on the bench until another opportunity came or you could prove yourself in practices or whatever. But the mode is pretty dang shallow.

Maybe they didnt anticipate someone being that bad? I mean, I'm not defending them, but you cant expect perfection with everything, even more considering who we are talking about.
