List of things we've lost in franchise

[oneamongthefence]

Here's a list of everything we've lost in franchise since Madden 22. I'm sure there's more I can't think of. Most of these were inexplicably removed for no reason. It just shows that Madden continues its trend of removing things instead of building these things out or just leaving it in since they worked as intended. Many of these things are small ommisions but they do add up.

*Big decisions for injuries
*Player regression screen
*Seeing positions you've picked in the draft
*How much cap space you have left going into free agency
*Many scenarios such as the retirement scenario, coach firing etc
*Legacy Leaderboard is empty outside of John Madden
*Training drills within franchise (replaced with gameplanning)

Did they bring back being able to see stamina?

Week to week updates for franchise.

Re: List of things we've lost in franchise

I am confused by the "can't see cap space going into free agency" line item; it's just wrong? In Madden 23, you can very easily see how much unallocated cap space you currently have on that bidding screen in the top-right corner. Further, you can always see how much cap space you have for the current and next year on the Team Salaries screen. Additionally, the player contract negotiation screen shows you how much cap space you have, minus the value of the contract currently being negotiated.

Madden 23 also tells you what players you have on the roster during offseason free agency, so that line item is wrong as well. Every time you open the contract negotiation view, the game shows you the players on your roster at the same position as the player with whom you are negotiation. It display those players' names, OVR, and age. I believe which players it shows specifically is affected by your depth chart at the position of the player with whom you are negotiating. Again, also confused by this complaint.

I have my objections on some of the others as well - the current weekly training feature is very obviously more meaningful and consequential from a gameplay perspective than the drills feature it replaced, everyone hated the Soul Searching veteran scenario, the Injury Big Decisions feature was a waste of time - but let's at least start off by composing an accurate list of things.

Removing training drills was a good thing. It was unrealistic and a waste of time.

There use to be holdouts too in Madden from way back when. That was awesome.

When you clocked on the free agency tab it would show you the cap space you had left before you entered the Free agency screen. Having to back out if you need to make more space is 2 extra button presses. Having to jump in and then back is annoying. It's a small thing but something I noticed right away.

You are correct on the free agency roster. I'll remove that one.

The injury big decision wasn't a waste of time. It was a system that had risk/reward. We have an injury system now where a guy is either fully healthy or injured. There is no in-between. In the NFL guys don't always play at 100%.

Training drills AREN'T in the game during the regular season. Since training camp doesn't exist in Madden (there's something you can complain about), there would be no training drills.

- Retired players becoming coaches
- Team customization
- Radio (Tony Bruno)
- A mode that works without killer glitches

I miss the player regression screen.

Re: List of things we've lost in franchise

- Radio (Tony Bruno)

the real shame here is the Tony Bruno Show was only in for 3 years.
a lot of todays Madden players never even heard of the radio show in Madden
and don't even know what they missed

I don't necessarily miss Bruno but I do wish the radio show concept itself had lasted a lot longer than it did

If we compiled a list of all the things we’ve lost since Madden ‘02 the list would be insanely long.

Yeah. It amazes me that for all the things they added the past 2 years, they've still managed to remove things that actively worsen the user experience.

I miss a fully open create a team that you could do from day one.

I miss play creator a lot.

Just as a side note, I watched the gameplay release videos on Friday for the Hogwarts game, and it has more customization options for create a player than Madden has ever allowed.
