I'd be fine with that if it was every year like FIFA is doing where they're continuing Alex Hunter's story in this year's FIFA game.
But considering it took EA 4 years to make this Madden story, are we going to have to wait another 4 years for the next story?
4 years is a LONG time to make a story like this. Games like Skyrim, GTA 5, Witcher 3, and other blockbuster titles took 4 years to make and those were full games. (GTA 5 actually took 3 years of development).
If EA comes out with a continuation story each year, I'm good with what they're doing.
I just don't want franchise mode to be neglected in place of this.
