Re: Five New Additions For Madden NFL's Franchise Mode We'd Like to See
A few thoughts, some of which have been in previous iterations. Most of these apply to owner mode (maybe coach mode too).
1. Coaching Staff. It would be great to hire offensive/defensive coordinators. These coordinators offer different XP advantages to certain specific postions (i.e. passrushers or safeties, etc). Depending on what coordinator is hired it also affects/decides what scheme you run. So, if you are the Panthers for example and hire Wade Phillips you move from a 4-3 to a 3-4 scheme and so on. You can of course, also hire one of these coordinators as a potential head coach and could make an offer to a coordinator from a team.
2. Get rid of the option to hire a scout and replace them with actual NFL GM's. Signing a GM can give you the scouting bonus trait and re-sign traits for certain positions. A head coach can still have this but it's more rare. A GM could also come with a certain philosophy that if in unison with your HC could add for XP, scouting bonuses etc. It would make the strategy interesting and finding the right mix of GM, Head Coach and Coordinators could give you a little bit of an edge in XP for example. A GM like Ozzie Newsome would offer more weekly scouting points than a young GM maybe. These are just thoughts.
3. The Draft Process. Mock drafts that get released every 3 weeks, for example. It would make it interesting and also give you more of an idea where a draft day trade might be needed.
Also, it would be fun to be able to edit the draft class at the beginning of the season to a certain extent. You can maybe create the type of players and an x amount of ability points. This way you can not create a prospect that is 99 overall. But this can fluctuate and come draft time this player might have lost point or gained points. Still keep story line players in the draft, these can be non editable.
4. Being able to edit relocation teams. In my eyes it would be fine to have a set amount of logo's, uniforms, team names. A la Madden 15, 16. But let us mix uniforms, logo's and cities. Also, let us change the colors if we so chose. If you want to move a team to Brooklyn, call them the bulldogs (currently only available for London), use the uniform option of the aftershocks but pick a green and red color scheme for logo's and uniforms, let us do that.
Also, if we want to relocate the rams to LA for example, let us keep the name but change the uni's. But so it would work with the legal side of things you can only use the current color scheme or the team, but apply that color scheme to one of the uniforms from the pool we can chose from.
5. Updated equipment. Fifa has this every year. It's a little detail that adds to the realism. New gloves, helmets, etc. NCAA gave us good options.
Again, these are just ideas and it might have been a little long winded, but I think these would be cool and add some excitement to CFM and make everyone's CFM experience a little more unique to the next persons.
