Something that is interesting to me in this thread is we talk a lot about promotions and marketing from the suits at EA as well as the devs. Though they do really hype competitive tournaments an absolute ton...this past year the Bomber League also has had a few of its games streamed on EA's Twitch channel. I know franchise isn't getting the love we all feel it deserves, but I do think they at least somewhat care about the Sim audience. Maybe not as much as we'd hope. But, the legacy of what Coach Madden saw for the game is still probably there at least in spirit. I do think 19 will see a franchise update. Probably will please some people, but leave many unsatisfied. I've learned to try to throw my imagination into franchise mode as well as trying to keep moves realistic and build storylines in my head. I think I'll probably like a lot of the changes made but still crave more. It's what we all deal with. I've had a lot of fun with Madden in CFM these past two years. We can only go up from here with CFM because there's so much room to improve. But, at least the mode functions for the most part. It's just disappointing to see what an NBA 2k has in their franchise mode, or even games like FIFA or NHL that Madden just doesn't have yet.
