    Question: Would you pay extra for Franchise DLC?

    The title pretty much says it all, but I'll add a little more description...

    Profitability drives business decisions, and let's face it, MUT makes money. If I were running the show at EA, I'd likely do whatever I could to sustain a high profit margin while providing exceptional content.

    Trouble is, there's no analog to what MUT makes in Franchise Mode. No real way to 'power up' your Franchise and still retain a strong sense of realism.

    So, as I asked back in 2017, would you pay extra for a 'plugin' of sorts for Madden 21 that rewrote the book on Franchise Mode?

    Maybe, if it was guaranteed by a certain date.

    Absolutely not! This should not cost anything extra.

    Two years ago I would've said yes. But now my answer is no

      Yes I wanna say I would for sure but it depends on content. Also I would still want to be able to have players in my league that didn’t.

        I'd rather the game price rose $10 and we got it built in. Having it as DLC doesn't feel right.

          At this rate just make two different games. MUT 21 and Madden 21. One for online players and the other for Franchise. It’s a win win imo

            With how savvy EA is busineswise, it makes one wonder if all of this was orchestrated to herd demand towards a post-launch DLC...a "Franchise Rejuvenator PACK"....featuring Drake.

              Honestly, at this point No. We would be straight up idiots to accept that they can only add content to Franchise if we're paying extra for it. That's just a joke. They make insane amounts of money off of Madden and they could invest in the mode if they wanted to. Telling them we would pay for the content that should be in the base game is just a bad precedent. We all want franchise to be great, but this isn't the way.

                many ‘‘no´s’’ here, so the question becomes ‘‘Would you pay more for a better game?’’

                  No. Nothing has changed that keeps EA from investing into franchise mode. They simply choose to ignore it. In fact, MUT makes them so much extra money that it should be easier for them to invest into franchise mode, but they refuse to reinvest that extra money into improving franchise and other parts of the game. Its basic business to reinvest into your product.

                    If thet let me demo it to see if i deem if worthy of my extra cash? Then the answer is probably yes but i dont trust them to blindly pay up front

                      I would pay extra for stuff that would not be expected in the game, like a different broadcast package. I would not pay for a franchise mode DLC, even if it was good. If I payed full price for Madden, spending an extra $20 for something that should be in the game is just rewarding bad behavior.

                        Definitely not, other companies have no problems making a deeper franchise mode.

                          No. Madden costs the same as all other AAA releases. At the AAA price tag comes certain standards and expectations. Madden has failed to hit those for me still. I'm not paying more money because EA fails to hit a standard mslost other AAA devs hit regularly.


                          EA raising the price would be an admission that they cannot match the production of other AAA devs and must demand more from the consumer to provide the same level of quality product. At the end of the day, the price tag is all that matters and is what drives expectations. Madden would be a hell of a game at $30. Madden is a disappointment at $60.

                            I wouldn't feel good about it, but I would if it meant we consistently got an industry leading, amazing franchise mode. My expectations would be raised and the mode would be even more scrutinised.

                            I don't think they would ever do it though, they'd receive a lot of backlash for charging for a mode that is standard in every other sports game. Not to mention that the Ultimate Team model is still more profitable as gamers are encouraged to keep spending money rather than make an additional one off transaction
