It's a bit of a catch-22 talking about immersion because no matter how much EA could implement into the game, it's up to the individual to truly immerse themselves into any of it. End results are that it winds up just becoming countless threads full of opinions, even if there's great suggestions bandied about.
I think if EA really, really paid attention to everyone, they'd realize that to get folks more immersed in what surrounds the game of football, it would be them going full bore on allowing everyone something of a myspace / facebook / instagram page of their own with which to further (even create) their content, ideas, etc. that offers all of the extra immersion realistically. I'm surprised they haven't considered this to the extreme that they could because having such a social media site, yeah, it would cost them a bit, but they would likely make out crazy with ad revenue.
Point being: The bulk of immersion that people choose in everyday life is social media showcases. Let the game be just a really good game. Let the immersion flow over into another platform. No more contentious codes piling atop one another year after year to give further aspects not truly necessary to simply play a football game. Just a thought.

Totally get what youre saying, but then why have a franchise mode. Just play H2H or Play Now games. and dont get me wring I dont think it needs a ton of fluff. a simple tab in franchise highlighting youre next opponent. Who has been playing well lately, who their main guys are (especially after a few years with generated rookies), what is the historical head to head look like, where are they ranked offensively vs the rest of the league, etc
Or just more pop ups before or during the game. I dont need live look-ins during a game (I actually would rather play the game without interruption) but have something after i hit advance to next week. Not saying 2k was perfect but that simple weekly show kept me in the loop with what was going around the league with records, injuries, etc.
Also, I think 24 and the beta have been some of the best on-field football i can remember and I was still playing 24 up until the Beta and CFB.
