Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

[Mauler97]

The new RB stats have to fixed asap, the Franchise is now like High School players with 6-8 ypc the new normal. About 5 guys break Peterson rushing mark every season!

Please Josh, Donny, who ever at EA fix this now.

Allow us to change ratings in franchise or something, this is not acceptable.

As a life long Madden fan I have never been more upset, I love this game. It's fun but this simmed stats are killing me.

Find a midway point from Patch 1 to Patch 2, I don't care if 1-2 guys average 6 ypc a season but not 10-15.

Franchise fans jump on board and lets get them to fix this now.
Thank you!

I think the guys at EA are great and if they see that enough people are upset with this they will fix it.
Like I said a mid-way point, why do we go from one extreme to another?

Please EA fix this.

This link discusses the issues you're seeing:

What bothers me is that it seems the developer is only making adjustments to an existing stat engine. If the engine is the problem then simply making variable adjustments will never fix the issue, only an adjustment to the engine itself will.

Guess we need to be thankful EA even assigns one body to franchise mode.

btw the author of this blog has a twitter account. May be you can find more info there.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

I agree. I made all the changes to coaching schemes, and used a real nice set of slider settings, and still the RB stats are a bit obscene. The only games the mirror real NFL football, are the ones I play. So the only recourse I have is to play a season, and play every game of the schedule for every team myself. I did read somewhere here where someone was altering the carrier vision, and that helped. Maybe i will try that. This leads to what ive been saying, along with many others, and that is we should not have to be doing this anymore for Madden. This game has been in the making long enough to have had issues like this ironed out, unless of course the developers do not know how to tackle the problem. Im sure some Madden groupie or moderator will flag me for this. I dont care because this is rediculous. This is a good game being marred by issues that shouldnt be anymore.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

Franchise play is not very high on their list. Dedicated franchise players are a minority to the casual/online Madden players. Don't ever expect franchise mode to get an overhaul.

Honestly I can't say there's been any major difference in franchise since i first started playing Madden in 2001. When I think about it the only changes that come to mind are the addition/deletion of training camps and scouting. All the other changes have been stat tweaks or cosmetic.

Personally i come to accept franchise for what it is, don't expect anything, and allow myself to be happy when a small feature is added.

It's ridiculous that we would be flagged or locked up for having a real issue with the game. Like I said I really like this Madden. I have fun playing it but I am a sim/Franchise ADULT gamer. I loved HC '09 and from that I have huge respect for Looman and Donny. But this is a REAL issue that has to be addressed. How can they justify the sim stats. I had 5 guys rush for more than 300 yards in a game! I had a guy with 1,700 yards on like 180 carries!
Please with total respect fix this stat issue asap.

I was amazed at how awesome EA responded to the Broadcast Cam thread which makes this game twice as fun as before, now we need them to do it again with the simmed stats.

Franchise is completely unplayable if you want any sort of realism.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

This entire thread is discussed, in length, in many other threads (not to mention the 30+ page post on patch 2.0 impressions), yet you felt this needed its' own thread again because....?

Like someone else said, if it is the stat engine than nothing can be done. I hardly expect to see another patch done for Madden 10.

Obviously it is not as simple as changing a few factors of the engine, otherwise it would have been done in 2.0. The fact that people think it is is asinine. The team obviously had to come to a comprimise.

More people care about good, fun gameplay than realistic stats in offline franchise - which is evident of their decision.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

i have an idea i think by bring the ball carrier vision and awareness will fix the stats i believe in this idea i will test this multiple times for good stats and i will post the results in this thread.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

Good idea, and i will try it also. Im also going to give your sliders a go. I love this game, I love football, and i to am a Hardcore sim type player, and seeing Jamal Lewis rush for 308 yds on 16 carries is screwed up. Yes thats right 308 yds on 16 carries. Of course for some people that dont know this game, they wouldnt have a problem with it.

Lol under your rules i think everything that been said about Madden has probably been said in some thread somewhere (really...how deep is this game?). I think some topics are bump worthy. Never understand why people get so mad over this. Breathe in....Breath out.

This is a huge issue above an impressions thread.

Also this is FAR worse than 2nd string ball carries sucking, I would much rather have backups averaging 2.5 ypc than 15 guys averaging 7+ YPC.

They can find a middle ground, with another patch or some sort of fix.

This patch flat our ruins franchise play for anyone who cares about realism.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

I'm on board but i don't think we will see another update and have a bad feeling this isnt the last madden to have bad stats if the sim engine is "touchy" unless they create a new engine.

Re: Franchise fans unite! Fix the stats now

the issues of RB stats being GODLY is due to TONS of HUGE runs for TD's....At mid point in the season and currently there are 3 1000 yd rushers.....When i look at longest runs, there are 21 RB with TD runs OVER 70 yds....The top 5 look like this....98,91,90,87,86....Then there are like 12-14 with runs over 65 yds.....Not ONE RB has a long less than 58 yds...

The above is leading to RBs having HUGE games as SEVERAL RB are breaking LONG runs sometimes 3 times per game..(Gore had TD runs of 88,77,72,56 in one simmed game)

Best solution is this....I control 32 teams and what i have done is sub out the top Backs with silly yds....cept for the elite...and J. Lewis being 3rd in the league is dumb...subbed him to 3rd string)_

The other choice is to lower the stats for top flight backs in the area of...BC vision, awareness and maybe another...

With the RB issues being the acception, i love M10 now and i am sure "we" can figure out the RB stat issue.
