I'm just simply saying I have extremely low expectations for dynasty mode in EA's next college football title. I imagine the focus will be on the ultimate team mode and making hundreds of millions of dollars through microtransactions.

People often say this, but the shift in those games was pre determined by developers either stripping away a franchise mode of all the features or just removing it. Madden tried removing more and more from franchise to make MUT the go to. One year if anyone remembers they launched franchise without a fantasy draft, which wasn't an accident. They just knew that wouldn't fly and added it back shortly after. If franchises got more attention I think they would be more popular.
