EA Keeps Fumbling Madden's Franchise Mode

The hype curve for a new Madden game is a vicious self-repeating cycle with no end in sight. Every year the classic franchise mode receives little to no changes at all, every year EA recommits to focus on the mode next year as an olive branch to the hardcore community eager for depth and customization, and every year that core audience is let down again.

All they added this year was the Oakley visor and a few new face options. That's all...

Not optimistic about their franchise 2021/22 roadmap either. They will do the minimum but they clearly don't see franchise as a priority (revenue generator) and will only minimally support it if it makes them look bad. Really wish they didn't have the simulation rights... All these great features in the Yard and FOTF that we've been asking for for years and they still didn't bother to add it to this mode.

Do the right thing;

Put this dying mode out of its misery.

Its cruel and inhumane to keep it alive at this point.

Its not pacifying anyone at this point, just further embittering a significant portion of the fanbase.

Should put the EA Madden team out of their misery also

I'll be honest, I've watched a lot of Madden content today, and I'm a franchise simulation guy.

I mean, I didn't expect much, but I knew they had promised some things and they may deliver on patches...... but......DAYUM

They spent the whole year getting us the Oakley visor and like 5 new face options. Meanwhile, the Yard got our equipment and player customizing wishlist... Not optimistic about the patches. Clear they want to get by with minimal effort to franchise.

2K whispered that they were making an arcade football game and EA dropped franchise mode in a ditch to create a brand new, fully featured mode in the yard. Never discount the power of competition.

We need 2k to announce they are making a head coach style game for next year to see EA actually take notice

I played fifa for the first time this year ever and I don’t understand how madden and FIFA are the same company. Even something as simple as being able to sit down and negotiate a contract I thought was absolutely amazing. I wonder why madden can’t do that. I’m tired of sticking up for madden. I have for years I feel like.
