Let Us Play Any Game in Franchise Mode

[TheRizzzle]

Why can't we play any game and even switch teams mid game in Madden's franchise mode like we can in MLB the Show or NBA2K?

You can create a different user and control another team.

As someone who loves controlling both offenses in NCAA 14, I really miss the ability to change sides during the game.

Agreed! I really wish we could sim games while viewing the league schedule like we can in said games.

It becomes a pain to go into each coach and have to super sim that way.

I agree about the switching teams but we can play any game right now.

Re: Let Us Play Any Game in Franchise Mode

They need to scrap the career/character mode garbage imo. Give us a commissioner mode like 2k MyLeague and the game will automatically have much more replay value. Idk why every single EA Sports title is permanently fixated on single player experiences that lack the customization and flexibility to truly make the mode/experience your own. A single GM, a single player, lack of custom tournament options in both Madden and NHL make the games very stale and don't provide the user the ability to enjoy the game in many different ways.

Shouldn't take 30-40 minutes to create a 32-team franchise control mode, and I shouldn't need 2 controllers to play as both of my user controlled teams in a franchise mode. It's nothing short of stupid.

Definitely need this back. I shouldn't have to become the owner of a franchise to play their game. There are certain match ups during a season I wouldn't mind playing without controlling that entire franchise. This is one of the dumbest changes EA ever put in the game.

Re: Let Us Play Any Game in Franchise Mode

I know you can technically play any game, but in creating a character for each team the league doesn't operate independently of you.

It's convoluted and it doesn't need to be. There is a pretty clear blueprint out there they could look at and follow.

EA knows what’s best for the football community ..less options ..no options -taking things out of games that were great and giving us..? Well you know. EA knows best. Remember as they say ..

“EA it’s in the Game” and if it’s not it used to be but we took it out.

I feel like if they are serious about some quality of life improvements for franchise mode, this would be an easy win.

It doesn't get as much pub, but I know there are people out there that like playing any game they want, but maybe only want to play as both offenses only. Or defense.

Don't know what I can do to keep beating this drum without spamming but it's such a tease that it's annoying. The prompt is right there in game during franchise mode games and they simply have it disabled for that mode specifically. Which makes no sense given how much control they actually do give you throughout the mode.

Yes, this is a must have and shouldn’t be too difficult to implement. Throw us a bone EA.

I'm hesitant to say it's easy because I don't know.

I'll take an uneducated guess and assume it's probably easier than some of the other things they've gotten asked for.

Mostly UI, it’s easy. Probably some data considerations. Can already do cpu vs cpu via slow super sim. Just need UI to launch the game. Likely less than 1 day effort for 1 dev.

Re: Let Us Play Any Game in Franchise Mode

This is why I haven't purchased a Madden since 15, I love being able to control both offenses! We should be able to play the game how we want!

Re: Let Us Play Any Game in Franchise Mode

I dont really roam in these forums often.

Can anyone confirm if this has at least been brought to the devs attention? I'm sure the number one priority for why it hasn't been done is there aren't a lot of people asking for it in the grand scheme of things.

But if one Gamechanger made an impassioned plea on behalf of a vocal minority, and it really did end up being a simple fix, that would be one of the happiest days of my Madden life to see that news in a patch notes.

This reads like "get rid of the modes I don't like, and instead make a mode that I do, because nobody could possibly enjoy the things I don't personally like".

Asking for a mode you'd enjoy is one thing...that's perfectly reasonable.

Immediately assuming that creating a different mode is a stupid mistake because nobody could possibly enjoy it if you don't is....myopic. And mighty entitled.
