Seven Franchise Mode UI Changes Needed For Madden NFL 18

[The Gunslinger]

The funny thing is that a lot of these problems were fixed in old versions of Madden but have been missing from current iterations (among a myriad of other cool features that EA has removed over the years like assistant coaches, Senior Bowl, Create-a-stadium, etc.).

The player stat cards need some drastic improvements. In the past, you could see what teams that player played for, game by game stats, how the team acquired him, and detailed history of past awards/accomplishments.

Now, without the individual opponents listed, the season stats provide little to no context. How did EA regress in its franchise news coverage from the cool Sports Illustrated/ESPN weekly magazines in the early NCAA ps2 games to an entire page of useless tweets organized like a spam folder?

How many times have we heard from EA, "This upcoming Madden will have the most immersive franchise mode ever"? 2k had a freaking Sportscenter weekly highlight show for their NFL game which was released almost 13 years ago! In 2017, Madden keeps players "immersed" in franchise mode by having to sort through a bunch of spam like tweets to find stories.

And why are the teams only referred to as their mascot in the standings, stats, and most other areas in franchise mode? Would it kill them to include their full proper title? It's "New York Jets" and "San Francisco 49ers", not "Jets" and "East Rutherford Jets" or "49ers" and "Santa Clara 49ers".

1 more thing:
Why can't I just play other team's weekly games without having to create a new user? Its just frustrating having to create a new user to play another team's game and then having to retire that coach/owner when you're done playing that game. Also, you can't play a team's weekly game unless you have taken over that user a week before. Plus, you're not able to pick your opponent's jersey combo if you've taken over control of that team. This is extremely frustrating when you play the Rams where the home and away jerseys have been flip flopped for some weird reason. Therefore, I end up with a game where both teams are wearing their home jerseys or vice versa both wearing their away jerseys.

Can we please have what team a player played for when looking at their career stats? Should be included and for the life cannot understand why it isn't

Player cards need a huge improvement. Now it is just lame.

Player cards should be a players resume sheet. A list of their accomplishments and everything they have done.
