They asked for franchise questions back in February so a Q&A video seems pretty likely tomorrow.

Not the point to start a debate on this here but i strongly disagree i have been playIng online franchise only in madden since 2004.
I actually think the current system is the best they ever had and better than 2k or nhl or tge show currently

I.e
a- You gain xp by performing in game and practices
b- Coach matter in practice through perks
c- You choose which groups get xp by selecting practices
d- your scheme influences practice xp
e- thanks to xp players get progression which you actually understands and can track weekly (i.e it is transparent and user friendly)
f- player progression traits impacts progression (ie not all players get same progression)
g- there is an element of randomness with the points acquired which prevents obvious issues like facing a team with a full 90s bsh front 7

All of that for me seems really good
I mean REALLY good
And i wish it would be used as benchmark for other sports games starting by the show

Get ready for editing the organizational depth chart and that’s it. We are in for a let down if we are expecting any of these features. Franchise is clearly not the priority for this game. So many minor details like non roster invitees have been missing for years now, there is no indication based on the direction of this game that franchise will change much from what we have been given these past 5 years..

Hope I’m wrong but let’s talk after Thursday lol

That they will reference the "Rewards" for MtO about 5 times (with the "Don't forget to watch our stream in two weeks to find out more") 3. That everything will be geared around making the experience shorter. God forbid that people actually have to play the game 4. That we will not receive an answer about roster share from MLBTS20 until the game actually drops.

Bingo! Winner
