Madden 24 "Make or Break"...Franchise Mode "Prioritized"

[TarHeelPhenom]

About a month and a half from the Beta, just wondering what they have done differently to make Franchise Mode better? If there is the sense of urgency that they claim, then they have to know that just touching up what's already there isn't nearly enough. So, I wonder what they've added? Maybe:

1) Extra staff positions

2) Some kind of Weekly Wrap Up Show

3) 32 Team Full Control with Direct Ability to Spectate any game without doing Play The Moments/Sim

4) Playable Broadcast Camera

5) Coaching Carousel

6) Global Editor

I know to expect all of these to be in there isn't realistic, but there has to be some type of new features added to even begin to be considered "Prioritized" or to meet that "sense of urgency" IMO.

As far as on field play, hopefully they build on what they did last year with the physics and player motion. Hopefully they add more QB throwing motions. Maybe add more player tendencies and PLEASEEEEEEEEEE add a global editor!

Fix the weather , make it cold without snow,and have it affect the game, make long snappers relevant. Fix practice squads to be like real nfl

Re: Madden 24 "Make or Break"...Franchise Mode "Prioritized"

Things I wish to see:
1. Team Creator. I would like to actually be able to rebrand a team from the onset of the franchise. If they keep the same relocation team names and city, at least give me the ability to Choose the team and city individually and change the uniforms as I see fit. I would trade that for creating a team being identified as "the home team" for preinstalled announcer names.



2. Weekly highlights and halftime/post game highlights and honors.



3. Press conferences.



4. Stadium creator in line with MVP 2005. Build it and have to add on with money earned.



5. Independent ball physics. Tired of seeing clipping in games at this point.



6. Refs on the field that can be interacted with.



7. Owner, Coach and player interactivity throughout the week.



8. Draft storylines that actually make sense, along with playable pro days and draft combines.



9. Player creator like Madden 96-97 when you actually had to workout to determine your stats and talents.



10. Changeable Running back styles. Sick of every running back having the same run style or not being able to alter them.



11. Team personalities that change over time. If you sim ahead 10 years, you mind as well be playing any football game every made without a NFL license. No team identity or city influence after a few seasons and everyone retires.

Didn't the save data corruption apology from this past winter specifically call out league customization features or something like that?

If I am recalling that correctly, then would expect things specifically to that end for Franchise this year. Not sure what beyond that.

Eh, I can do it without 3 because there is a workaround (laborious as it is), if it means we get the others on this list.

The way they have different QB throwing styles, if they could do that with RB running 🏃🏽*♂️ styles, that would be the bees knees!!

As far as in the field, hopefully they get zone defense that you point out as far as logic correct.

I’d be shocked whatever they do is anything other than underwhelming. I’m guessing added commissioner tools and fine tuning to existing features. Prove me wrong EA.

Better AI is all I want..

Stop with the stupid trades, the stupid drafts, the stupid free agency, the stupid non resigning of players and the stupid signings too...

If the computer made better choices, the entire mode would improve. In fact, you can add this to in game AI as well. Why is every single team running the same 2 minute drill? Why is there zero clock management in OT? Why are they calling timeouts when down 21 with 30 seconds to go?


I could give a damn about cosmetics when the mode is boring after year 3, because the computer has ruined the league with horrible play and GM skills

Can’t disagree with this at all. In this day and age CPU AI is laughably behind where it should be.

Re: Madden 24 "Make or Break"...Franchise Mode "Prioritized"

Along with previous suggestions , I feel every personnel decision needs to have weight and consequence.

If I bench Patrick Mahomes in favor of Blaine Gabbert for no apparent reason, that needs to have serious repercussions with ownership, players (Mahomes especially) , media, the fanbase, etc.

I've sent this suggestion to Duece. Hopefully some version of it makes it in.

Re: Madden 24 "Make or Break"...Franchise Mode "Prioritized"

IMO, with all so called “discounts” they are giving I don’t see them doing all that much “new” in the game.

For long time players of the game, are people going to happy with bringing back the basics to franchise?

We know with the current engine they are using, gameplay is done and will probably be the same as 23 with possible slider adjustments that are preloaded for launch.

“Make it break year” isn’t going to be much different to me unless they do something with the engine, which has not been reported. Franchise bring backs will be nice but just feels like we have been cheated over the past decade.

We will see, but I’m not getting my hopes up

Yes! There used to be an Icon player tag that did this. If you benched, traded, cut or used a 1sr rd pick it effected team morale from what I remember.

Re: Madden 24 "Make or Break"...Franchise Mode "Prioritized"

I feel like the issue here is there seems to be a huge divide in even what us franchise guys want.

The first two posts here want things like weekly wrap-ups and stadium creator.. meanwhile we the cannot even get them fix stamina, injuries, or anything emulating a real life rotation.

We are a small community and we can't even collectively decide on what is important to us. Hard to think they would be able to appease us on any level.

If they did this they just need to make sure that it doesn’t get screwed up because you sat him the last game with home field advantage or he’d injured and you don’t play him. I like the 2k system but sometimes I have no idea why guys are mad. It just says annoyed but it should give an idea why as well.
