Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
It is time to vote with your wallet. If you are a fan of simulation play and franchise mode, enough is enough at this point. The game has not only clearly moved completely to MUT play but they have also consistently lied to us to keep us hooked for more info. EA continuously says they know how important franchise mode is, wait until the future they say. Well the future never arrives.

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Unfortunately it won’t ever matter any more. MUT is the way, it makes more money than if everyone who actually boycotts bought the game twice. The competitive twitch community who loves the game will keep drawing in fans with new subscribers and paid videos.It is time to vote with your wallet.

Franchise mode sim football is dead and it has been for a while. Our only hope is that critic actually start rating the game poorly and NFLs ears perk up when they hear something baring their shield is being trashed by the general public. -
Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Two things giving me some hope are that they didn't mention anything new for MUT and they didn't even talk about SS KO, which was their new casual player obsession this year. We know those modes will be in the game and get some updates, so i'm sure we'll get sick new features for CFM like a fresh looking backgrounds, or enhanced in-game MUT alerts in franchise

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Obviously if the Madden team makes an announcement to a boatload of wonderful updates Franchise mode is also getting, I'll change my tune.
But so far, I've heard nothing about anything new coming our way with regards to that, so it's a no from me. New "scenarios" or X-Factor abilities aren't going to be enough to draw this CFM-exclusive player back.Comment

Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Does anyone around here follow movie news? Familiar with the #releasethesnydercut campaign? Madden needs something like that...an official hashtag for fans to rally around, a hashtag battle cry that floods every EA post and news release. While we're at it, flood the NFL's posts with it too. It took 3 years, but the Snyder Cut of the Justice League movie is finally being released next year. Maybe we can do the same for Madden.

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
I've already decided to sit out Madden again this year unless significant changes are made to franchise mode (very unlikely). Last year I ended up buying Madden used around October or November.
Maybe I'll do the same this year, but I'm damn sure not buying it new and at launch.
I'm fed up with EAComment

Seems like that's the line every year, "wait and see, I'm sure there are some announcements they have up their sleeve" but they never arrive.Two things giving me some hope are that they didn't mention anything new for MUT and they didn't even talk about SS KO, which was their new casual player obsession this year.

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Yep, its the same routine each year.
The next part of that is after they mention the underwhelming improvements they did make to franchise, the line will be "just wait, yes it is underwhelming now but think of the ways they can improve it, at least there is potential"
See last year and the scenario engineComment

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Yea I'm already sitting this year out. They just refuse to acknowledge the sim fans. I understand MUT is their cash cow but it's not an excuse to never upgrade franchise mode at all. 2k has my team and mycareer but they still have a pretty robust franchise mode. It's at least adequate. I can't support this any longer honestlyWatch me at twitch.tv/dmanchiComment

Re: Sim Play and Franchise fans. It is time to make a stand
Completely agree with you. I'm glad that Madden is included with Origin Access Premier for PC. So I'm not directly contributing to their sales, although I'm sure me downloading is factored in somehow.
I do plan on trying out Maximum Football this year. Seems like they made some significant changes to the dynasty mode like creating plays and adding facilitiesComment

You’re completely broken?! You should probably go find something meaningful to do with your life if a slightly underwhelming video game trailer is enough to completely break you.
Some of the reactions on this forum are genuinely embarrassing.Comment
