    I'm still playing the game (online franchise) because the on-field gameplay works well.

    There's lots to fix up in the back end though, and disappointingly mainly related to the new features.
    Progressive fatigue kills the AI opponents.
    Coaching carousel just supercharges your team to the detriment of the AI. Bugged elements such as the one that causes AI to overrate your players meaning they constantly poach your practice squad.

    New scouting is poor - get truck ratings for QBs but not throw ratings? Have to check each individual card for combine scores? etc


    There is significant work to be done to fix these prior to new features.

      Exactly.

      Progressive fatigue pretty much had to be off for parity with the CPU.

      Staff bonuses slant the game even more in the player’s favor.

      You can ignore Scouting entirely now until the day before the draft and still pick out the hidden dev players easily. I just did this last season with picks 32 and 64 🤦🏻*♂️

      Just want as close to a level playing field as possible so CFM stays challenging for more than one season. It’s at the point where I have to handicap myself with sliders and overpaying players.

            Draft prospects that win awards should have it listed ON THEIR INFO PAGE. Quit making me go back to the info menu to see who won the Heisman or Top OL awards. Put it on their player info screen.
            Don't look back too long and don't look too far ahead.

              If WWE 2K22 scores really high and is a success I think EA needs to follow their footsteps and bypass a year of Madden if not two years and start over. They can just have a select group of people continue to update Madden 22 rosters for franchise and the mut team can just keep doing there thing. So fans still have a football game to play but EA just needs to admit they need some time to fix this game and franchise mode.

                EA did this ... by ignoring Franchise for 5+ years and only focusing on MUT. They will never bypass an entire year without releasing a game just to keep getting that MUT revenue. EA just pooped the bed and didn't fix/correct things. They will never be able to convince me they didn't just add another layer on top of the game or why else do we still see the floating coach with a surface imbedded into his chest?

                  We can only dream about that and that's it.

                  Stockbrokers won't go for that money train model.

                    I think its a great idea, but they need to produce a NFL game every yr. Basically gives them like 9 months to crank the next one out. There not missing out on that cash either to sit out a year.

                      You know what the old saying is if someone shows you who they are you better believe them

                      EA bone head decisions

                      Hired a Hockey Dev 🏒 to make unrealistic basketball🏀decisions to the point that scared away Mike Wang sim principles

                      Then put Madden Foootball🏈on a shooter 🔫engine then the rest was history you can't make this up🤷

                        They literally have to release a new game every year. It's part of the contract with the NFL. So unfortunately that will never happen.

                          They use the upgrades. The issue is that their in game goals are auto generated and they don’t maximize those. As a user I can select which goals I want weekly and accumulate more points per season.

                            Not being a jerk but with the many complaints of little to no upgrades to franchise and mut being a card pack thing, whats stopping them from adding new drafted players to rosters and throwing out something next year, just to stamp it as new per usual. I just dont see whats taking then a full year to develop each year. I know they make changes, but for that to be a full year worth of work....that is stretching it to the max and then some. Whether its suits or whoever, we cant say both. They cant upgrade how we want due to suits and also, they have ti release a new game each year in the same breath like they are doing the most already.

                              As was stated in the "newer we need Madden made every other year thread", the NFL license is the reason why Madden comes out every year.

                              There is nothing in-between based on everyone's opinions/expectations on what new is delivered to the game each year or not delivered new to the game each year.
