Nice to see this wrap up with everyone pretty much on the same page. Sad state of affairs for us Franchise Faithful...

Nice job, fellas.

I don't understand why EA just doesn't come out and say that a franchise mode isn't a priority for them.


EDIT: I also fully agree with Bob....it's time for people to start supporting other avenues of "sim" football. I've been supporting Maximum Football's patreon for a couple years, now. I'm about to start supporting Axis football as well. I still don't think franchise players "boycotting" Madden will matter to EA, but supporting developers that share a similar vision to us means we'll get something closer to what we want as opposed to what we've been given with Madden. I encourage everyone that's upset that aren't buying Madden to put that money towards other developers.

Because they count Face of Franchise as "franchise mode." But yeah, they made it pretty clear they don't care about "classic" franchise.

Two words: arrogance and contempt.

Very well put. Glad you guys are using the platform to speak out. What EA is doing is garbage and it's about time they got some heat for it. I'm not expecting anything like this, but Battlefront II got the most dev backlash of all time. A few years later it was a (relatively) mtx-free game that delivered on nearly everything fans wanted at the start.



EA has the model for how to care about customers right in their own company. They just have to decide to care more about their players and their dignity as the sole holders of the exclusive license when it comes to Madden.

Very disappointed with Madden 21 not investing time with franchise. I'm still gonna buy the game this year. I have been buying this franchise since 1990, and never missed a game. Maybe the game can be delayed a few months to improve franchise. But I doubt they will happen.
