    What are your top 3 franchise issues currently?

    With the mode finally (mostly) playable what are your 3 biggest issues in the mode? I'm not talking about features we want but issues with the mode we have currently. Here's my 3...

    Auto Subs just don't work. You can have it set up to 99 out 100 in and guys won't sub out. Stamina just doesn't work as intended and guys will be extremely fatigued and stay in. Fixable for the user but the CPU not so much.

    The tags don't work for free agency. I've seen Tom Brady hit free agency and then get signed in FA by a team with an up and coming QB.

    Injuries are mostly not relevant. You'll see plenty of teams at 100% going into the playoffs. The slider should work for simmed and played games.

    What are yours?

    The auto subs, sliders not working right every year, and the corruption bug I. Offline franchise that seems to be never fixed

      auto subs works, just not very well. I think I'm set something like 70/90. The major failing is the way players can go out and not return.


      Injuries for simmed games are too low, and there is no way to increase them.


      Main issue for me is that the AI doesn't manage rosters well or get the advantage of scenarios, so your roster gets overpowered quickly.

        AI throwing an insane amount of INTs still. It's out of control. Herbert threw 6. Fields threw 4. I've only played three full games since the patch but that's insane.



        Sick of my depth chart being auto-rearranged too.

          Game actually play to ratings. Not just having a bad game or good game. A 58 qb should not be Mahomes for any reason

          Really wish sports games played to ratings!
          Only thing SIM about sports games now, are the team name and players
          CFB 25 The absolute GOAT!!!
          MLB 23 FOREVER 20 is better, 23 just for Guardians
          Madden get rid of the extras (SS/XF, HFA, media, scenarios, game plan) or turn them down considerably.

            Top three issues?

            Momentum Meter - Get rid of it. I will die on the hill that says it is an arcade feature that doesn't belong in the simulation mode at all. It's nothing but power-ups, and they don't even make logical, consistent real world sense how, when or why they happen or go away. Quit trying to Mario Kart my football experience sucka!

            Coach Sliders - We need coaching tendencies sliders, and as I stated in another thread, it'd be great, at the very least to have a slider for each down and distance, etc. scenario that we have for when rating plays in custom playbooks.

            Commissioner Mode - I propose a Commissioner Mode where I can hands down edit/approve/deny everything that goes on. This will both replace the time/effort required doing 32 team set ups for franchises, and it will allow us to fix any/all depth charts, subs, IR, free agency move, draft moves, etc. etc.

              PS4 / Offline:

              1) Little to no injuries with regard to frequency / duration.

              2) Legacy Issue: USER CBs don't have "catches against" tallied, therefore they end up with jacked morale for the final quarter (or so) of the season.

              Hard to believe, but for me that's it.

              The injury thing is def the worst wart on this thing this year, IMHO.

              I would add getting rid of the Momentum Meter, but thankfully that's not in the PS4 version.

                The sacks for all of the defensive players in 2021 are still listed as 0 on the player card and it also doesn't show up in the record books.

                  Re: What are your top 3 franchise issues currently?

                  I’m going to try and keep it Franchise exclusive. Things like momentum are in every mode, so I won’t mention things like that.


                  1. Owner mode needs a complete reset. Nothing matters. Raise those tickets up, full stadium. Give them away. Full stadium. 100-0 or 0-100 over, stadium is filled. The things you sell don’t matter. Get everything to “good price” and you’ll be the richest in the league. Same relocate stuff. Won’t even put in commentary about the new team, city, anything. Coaches still retire after 3 sb wins. No way to ever get a Belichik.


                  2. League history is terrible. While it’s cool to see past award winners, I’d love to actually feel like I’m playing with the 8 time MVP. Talk about his greatness. His rings. The teams/coaches rings. Past places they played. Past teammates. Did they just get one of the greatest coaches of all time or some unknown. How’s their record over the past 2 seasons? Is this guy always injured? What’s the point of the news when it never matches up, doesn’t mean anything and is the same lines every week?


                  3. Make GM duties matter. Why do I even need a backup qb? The main one never gets hurt. When’s the last season ending injury you saw? Or even 10 weeks? Why does fatigue stay at 100% because the way I practice, like the season doesn’t tire you out as well. Why is my back still 100% at the end of the game when he has 30 carries? Why does the computer take any bum I send him and give me hidden dev rookies for them? Why are contracts structured in a way totally opposite than they are in real life?





                  When I want to run a franchise, I want to run a franchise and make it matter. After the offseason, you basically click practice and then play your game. There’s nothing to be done. Even scouting has taken away 90% of the interaction.


                  What’s really crazy is, this is the product we got after a “two year focus on franchise”

                    1. It’s not user friendly at all. It takes me an hour to set up and control all teams. If I’m just playing an offline franchise let me do whatever I want like MLB the show and 2K I don’t need all the restrictions.

                    2. No penalties being called.

                    3. Formation subs / play calling. I’d like to the giants he run heavy like in real life same with the bears.

                      This is a big one. After a player retires there is basically no way that I have found to look back on his stats. His player card is gone. I get that you can't save everyone, but even HoFers all you can see is their "legacy score" and how many awards/titles they won (and even then not what awards). The immersion part could be so much more robust.

                      I also think that the coaching trees need a rework. It is far too OP and far too quickly. The trade bonus essentially allows you to trade up picks without any penalty, and the development multiplier brings players up way too fast. The scenario engine is already a boost to your player ratings and skills that the CPU doesn't have, adding that just makes it way too easy. I think different coaches should have different impacts, but it shouldn't be wholesale like it is now. I like the way OOTP does it where you have a general expectation of player relationships and development, but not every player automatically gets a ratings bump.

                      FA is also messy. There is no real negotiation in the process, no back-and-forth, no ability to frontload contracts. Especially when re-signing players it is mostly a crapshoot.

                      I would also like scouting to be tweaked a bit. I think it has come forward a lot, but a few small tweaks. For one, you should not start week 1 with 0% of anyone. There should be a baseline that you have like 10-15% knowledge of each player. You can kind of fake this by hiring & firing scouts on week 1, but right now that's just a time suck. It's not like realistically you would have 0% knowledge of the expected top picks in the draft anyway. I also think it lacks immersion. Right now it's just pictures and letters on a screen. Show us the player build so we can see how he moves and throws. Add fake highlights and college stats. Bring back the combine or a Pro Day.

                      Also get rid of momentum.

                        Re: What are your top 3 franchise issues currently?

                        Free agency
                        - Unless you manually edit contracts, the top of the FA pool has players who would never reach free agency. Justin Herbert and Nick Bosa won’t be free agents in real life for the foreseeable future.

                        Injuries
                        - Just not enough. I don’t need to lose a bunch of starters every game, but I’ve seen only two longterm absences for my team. And players, CPU or user-controlled, almost never tear their ACLs.

                        Owner mode
                        - Pointless unless you like to hire/fire coaches (which I do). NFL teams are cash machines because of broadcast deals; whether hot dogs are $6 or $7 has no real bearing on a franchise’s financial success.

                        The thing is, I think there are fixes out there for all of these issues. The FA logic - discussed fully elsewhere - can probably be tweaked with new tags. The injury slider should be for all teams, not just the user. And with owner mode, customization options (custom stadiums, uniforms) would do the trick for me.

                          The issue for free agency is that the AI isn't programmed to drag its own team into salary cap hell. If you want the AI to re-sign Herbert, then expect them to field 44-47 players next season from the 60 million in cap penalties.



                          Yes, this can be fixed by allowing teams to restructure contracts like they do IRL, but I can easily see that being extremely broken quickly.

                            1. Depth-chart auto-reordering when adding/removing a player from the roster

                            2. Presentation & pacing more or less suck

                            3. Despite their best efforts, still not feeling much if any difference between opponents. I like that pretty much any game can go either way, and no two games are “the same” per se, but most teams feel 90% identical to each other imo.
                            Just one man’s opinion.
                            I don’t actually care about any of this.

                              1. HFA/Momentum - hate it. We should have the option to turn it off.

                              2. lackluster Scouting Update - incredibly tedious considering how little you really do. The ability to scroll up/down from inside the prospect cards/tabs would be a huge time saver.

                              Those 2 alone made me quit playing Madden 23. All the other issues or ignored aspects of the mode just add fuel to the fire. I've thought about firing M23 back up and doing a Texans rebuild as an Owner, but I really loathe HFA/Momentum and the tedious Scouting Update. I don't know if I can overcome my dislike for those features to enjoy the game.
