WHAT IF IT TURNS INTO HOW 2K IS
Can you do something about the raiders 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Just to add what u said U CANT SKIP CUTSCENES
EricRayweather they need to fix the i form glitch pass the word !!!!!!!
EricRayweather if you knick your sack, send it back!!
All that talk about ressources, yet this year instead of improving franchise they made a whole new game mode with Quavo and DJ Khaled that literally nobody asked for.
Took the words right out of my mouth. I'm sorry. EricRayweather but that's total bs. Because they make up all these excuses. But its it's ok to have a Superstar K.O. mode that has nothing to do with making the game better.
Honestly they can take mut away too
@@rackchaser10k54 exactly
Actually someone did ask for it.....shareholders. I see alot of these games trying to find ways to draw in more players so making a gamemode like this is actually smart. As far as it taking away resources from franchise it didn't. They have most players already in the game and adding the celebrities was more of the face scan team which is more character model department then gameplay. Even the stadium is graphical. Gameplay and everything is already in mut so they just needed to set parameters for the mode and leave it. Everything that dev said sounds legit tbh and honestly the frostbite engine has issues that span across all games that use it and it is up to each studio to take the engine and make it work for the game they are making. BFV has challenge tracking issues just the same and network performance is also relatively similar. With him stating it would be better for less people to be working on madden that is not false as long as the people working on the game is solid at their respective position and communication is being used. The biggest problem is with technology advancing so quickly it is hard to keep up so that is where all of EA games took a hit because EA is focused more on graphics to be the selling point then gameplay so that was what the engine is built for and devs have to figure out how to make gameplay work. Graphics take up alot of resources which makes it tricky or gamebreaking to just throw a feature in there. I'm not a dev but I do know how to code and understand that it takes alot of planning to implement one thing in the game to make sure it wont break everything else but since live service has become a thing this is why every patch breaks more then what it fixes.
@@RandomThrowingKnife I respect what you had to say. I'm sticking to what I'm saying and it still doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Okay if you have time to make a Superstar KO then you got time to make the game better. Go look at MLB THE SHOW. Same graphics but better gameplay. So there is no excuse for EA to not make their gameplay better.
Man it’s the only mode I play and it lacks so much it’s sad 😢
a916 KidD facts brother.. i loveeee franchise but i hate that it gets boring to me because it lacks so many features..
Right on homie. Im the same way.
Its all I really play. And it could be sooo much better.
2Ks Association is incredible. I mean just for the editing alone. Madden should really take a page from them.
DITTO!!!
Same
Madden ultimate team happened. Once EA realized what a cash cow it was, they pretty much let franchise mode fall by the wayside because they can't monetize it. At least on current gen, they pump so much content and resources into MUT that it's painfully obvious
The Mandalorian madden 13had an amazing mut. Wasn’t as much rng collections
were very rewarding
The dumbest thing is they would probably make more money off MUT if they made franchise mode better. I know lots of people would buy Madden just for the franchise mode if it was good enough. People who primarily play single player modes would eventually want to try the online modes like MUT. EA is just soulless garbage and is completely out of touch with what the market wants.
Thank you for spelling out mut. Im a n00b
It’s been more than “a few years” it’s 2020 it’s inexcusable
Darrell Demps jr Billion dollar corporation doesn’t have the resources to figure out how to put features from 2004 back into a 2020 game
Lil_Tex I mean to be fair the entirety of EA isn’t working on madden
@@J_Caban I'd still say EA has enough at their disposal to have made Franchise what it needs to be by now, but yes that's a good point. Madden doesn't have a billion dollars at their disposal, EA has multiple studios working on countless games at a time. Every game gets allotted their money for their cycle. If anything, this is why MUT is actually good for Madden. The more money MUT brings in, the more money they get allotted to put back into the game. And while MUT generates money, it's not a mode that's really resource heavy, so other parts of the game benefit more from the money it makes.
EricRayweather it really isn’t, the only thing that goes into MUT is new cards and events, the gameplay doesn’t change at all it’s the same game
I haven’t bought madden since 08. Hasn’t added anything in over a decade.
I miss the crowd not being full when your team sucked ... and having to build your fan base to increase your revenue ...
Antonio Bulluck that’s cuz of the nfl not ea they told them to quit that
Dreeco Finesse3tymes they feel as tho it promotes the wrong message or some bs like that
TheSam810 where’d you see that?
Josue Caban same dude made a video about the stuff the nfl tells ea not to put in the game like how concussions ain’t in the game no more
Wonder if they watched a Chargers game at all in the last two years.
EA has been lazy ever since they got the exclusive NFL license. They just milk their monopoly for every cent without any excellence in programming. They should be the flagship sports game in all of gaming, not the evil stepchild!
Blame the NFL for that. NFL forced only one company to have the license 🤷♂️
Drip Drip Scars and the NFL will just force another exclusivity agreement on someone else. No matter who makes this game it will always be shit because they will never have anything to compete against
Kind of sounds like the nba 2k games, Live pretty went away and 2k has gotten worse gameplay and is just a microtransaction machine
Capitalism at its best. Why give you quality when they're the ONLY choice. Now, you see what's wrong with monopolies.
Cj Bixby their gameplay as it’s issues but compared to madden it’s night and day
Man i just need to get a ps2 and get all the classic games 😭😭 crazy how older games are way better than today’s games
Snippetville ps2 era madden (we didn’t know it at the time) was the best we were ever gonna get
If you play on PC you can download PCSX2 which is a ps2 emulator and a rom or iso for Madden
I got a brand new PS2 just to play Madden 05' that's literally the only game I have- otherwise it's just a DVD player
Madden 12 on PS3 and Xbox 360 is probably the best Madden ever but I still play 05 occasionally as change of pace from 12, the current version is a complete disaster and I've hated every Madden (the ones I gave a chance atleast) since 13'
NFL 2K5 is still to this day better than any Madden game in the last 15 years. That’s why EA bought the exclusive rights contract from the NFL because they were shooketh after Sega released that game & made it 20 dollars which is less than half the price of Madden
I remember on PS2 how cool franchise mode was. The feeling of owning a franchise and winning Super Bowls. Going to meet the President. The Pro Bowl. Training camp. I don't get excited about franchise mode anymore.
I honestly dont understand why they never took features from the nfl head coach game and threw it into franchise mode. Imo ps2 maddens from 05-08 had the best franchise modes
Madden 09 with Bret farve on the cover. Best franchise mode
That would make too much sense
Fully Agree
Only thing about the old maddens are the way the qb throws the ball they don’t have the whole throwing motion down the only thing I like about the new maddens are the throwing motion
I still play franchise but it's not the same.
Hopefully one day it can return to it's glory.
@@simsjwyo once 2k get NFL bac it's ova
drethebest100 well they’re never getting it back unless EA declines that exclusive nfl license which let’s be honest is never gonna happen EA doesn’t want any competition & why would they? They rather keep making a barebones Madden except when it comes to MUT
@@Kelz91 🤔😳
The only way franchise is fun is when you do realistic one in my opinion. Having cheese trades and 5 first rounders makes it too easy and kills the cap
Yeah I play franchise and its fun for like 5 minutes if you do a bunch of cheese trades and free agent signings. It’s only fun if you do it realistic but Madden does such a bad job of helping you make it realistic and it’s really hard to
Packer Fan like I did a chiefs “revamp” where I got them up to a 93 overall and they went 9-7, it’s so bad
@@frankbossong2196 lol what did you need to revamp on the chiefs? The 3 underperforming players on a team of all stars
@@frankbossong2196 yeah, to prevent bad sim with my 92 team, I force a few wins against really bad teams. No way should I lose to a 75 overall team
Hey man I take the Packers too. That is my team. I ALWAYS try to make it as realistic as possible.
I have to purposely make the OTHER teams better, just to make it more realistic.
In my franchise, Matt LaFleur would be a God.
The fact that overtime has a coin toss but when the game starts it doesn’t
I think that was because you no longer see the coin toss in a real NFL broadcast, so they removed it from the game.
@@jdb2002 lazy excuse
Josh B That’s not true at all
i can only play about 2-3 seasons before i start getting bored
Play online
It's simple mut makes them money franchise mode don't
Franchise mode is a big seller of the game though. The far majority of their player base plays Franchise. It's not in their interests to purposely upset those consumers.
Already over upset, the franchise is trash and unplayable without falling asleep there’s no market for micro transactions in franchise so they clearly are only pushing it’s no excuse for a game to get worse n this day n age and tech look at 2k20 not perfect but they put so many features in every mode but madden adds trash modes nobody likes
EricRayweather o no I agree I play franchise I have a league I run with 10 others I'm in but I just feel like every update is mut focused
Wendell T Stacks I'm mixed on this on the One hand we have 2k NBA games that proves that a console change shouldn't slow down progress or require a complete reboot but on the other hand ppl like you and me have to put ourselves in the developers shoes a lot of those developers are working 8-15 hour shifts to get this down cause having 1 year to make a game even if you have the engine from a previous game is a insane task and I think the bulk of the blame should be put on who decided to use frostbite engine which to me has really hurt the game cause developers who work with it say it is the worst
I love the franchise mode especially playing with others in a season
Man if they had the old franchise features in franchise mode today 🔥🔥🔥
EA has never been known for doing things the right way, they do things the profitable way. Good for business, bad for users.
Christopher Reed unfair for developers
The old franchise is what made me fall in love with the mode
I miss being able to create teams with legends and current players with custom jerseys
Franchise mode on madden 20 forces me to retire after 3 seasons. It happened twice
Timothy Washington u need to sign a contract idk if that’s why but I think
I thought you didn’t get the contract till after your fourth ? After I finish the 3rd season it would say you still have 1 year left on the rookie contract
Well at least we now can hope franchise mode will be good in 10 years
I’ve been a software engineer for the past 7 years. All of his answers are 100% on point in regards to the challenges and decisions that software teams have to deal with. From difficulties when changing code bases, to there being too many people and too many meetings, to putting some features on the back burner due to time/impact considerations, that’s all spot on. Even with the drive to put more power in the hands of non-engineers; that’s always a big focus as well. Nice video.
Really makes me not want to buy Madden when the PS5 comes out, because we know what will happen. It will have less features than Madden20 does.
Supposedly ps5 is going to have backwards compatibility so if you have the old decent franchise games you could bide your time with those
Daybreak Jake I’m so pumped to be able to go back and play ncaa and line maddens 07-11
The ps5 is only backwards compatible for ps4 games
james chavis I knew it. that’s dumb as hell but I get it. If they made where we could play the games from the old consoles nobody would buy the newer games. damn I that sucks. makes me have to think about if I even want a Ps5 or not.
My take away from this video is that EA was too lazy to figure it out. They knew 2k5 franchise mode was better and went and bought exclusive rights because they didn't know how to fix there own mode. SMH
This video honestly kind of made me sad. Before I even had Internet I would spend hours playing franchise. No the only thing to do is some type of head to head. I really hope in the coming years I have a reason to never touch an online mode again.
THE DEVELOPERS DONT LISTEN TO US. THEY ARE THE WORST TEAM. 2K programmers listen to player. All EA want us our money. To heck with them
Not true at all
BOULEVARD RICK I am a developer (a traditional one - not a game dev). Developers never make decisions in companies the size of EA. The decisions are made by executives and product strategists. This is software development in 2020. Developers build what they are told to build. Think of them as subcontractors building a house.
@@zackwhiteal not only is this true, I can provide links from the creative director of Madden (2013- 2018) to back this up.
The thing people don't understand is, EA's intended market (at least for sports title) is intended for kids- this is why they keep bringing in enough revenue to support future titles!
False
Great info Big E!! Thank you brotha!
Easily my favorite video you’ve done in a while. Keep up work like this; substantive without the fluff and clickbait
Thanks for the video you answered bunch of my questions I’ve been pulling my hair out for years with frustration with franchise mode
I'm so glad to hear this, and from a decently reliable source to boot. I've been seriously sick of softdrinksports and other youtubers just complaining about the same things every year pretending that making a game this weird is simple. It's still sad to see that 80% of the comments on this video act like nothing's changed
Madden 20 is the first madden I actually played since 13 & I can’t even keep a franchise for a week cause it’s broken & uninteresting for me 21 they gotta do better
They're not
Dont buy madden 21
I preorder madden every year but I think this year I’m going to wait a while until I buy it. I hate having to pay for an unfinished game every year.
Wait till black friday for 30$ off
marcus moore honestly thats what i was thinking. I’ll likely pick up the PS5 for Black Friday and probably finally get madden around the same time.
You should've stopped a long time ago
Rent it from Redbox for $3/day, then decide to buy it on Black Friday. It's a win/win situation.
kingsaco Thats actually a pretty damn good idea.
Thanks for the info! Hopefully Franchise gets the improvements it needs.
A franchise mode video, Eric - I'm so pleased! Thank you for this :)
I've been playing Madden since 1995, almost exclusively franchise mode. Theres a whole world of us!
I'm happy more people are reaching out to Madden devs. We honestly don't know what happens behind the scenes, and just make assumptions based on EA's past actions. A shame this goes over people's heads though...
Great info Eric! I’ve bought every Madden. But I won’t be buying another one until they make massive improvements though.
I'd really love for them to add like old school team roster with ray Lewis ed reid , old saints roster from like 2009 ect
that would be awesome but they would have to get the rights from probably 45+ players who aren’t in the game anymore for each historic team. They struggle to get 32 for certain promos in mut which is what they mainly focus on. Doing multiple teams is just honestly unrealistic unless you have a bunch of randomly generated players and splashes of big names from those teams.
@@jimmylemar true !!! Just a dream unless we get sum like another madden 25
JL Productions they have their rights most of those guys are in mut 😂
@@treveonjones8762 the whole 2009 saints roster is in mut? They have big names but would still have to get rights of 40+ players...and this is just one historic team, unless they do an all legend team which they have done in the past, historic teams would be a lot more difficult than say NBA 2K, who does historic teams, because those rosters are only 13 players rather than 53...so like I said unless fans want historic teams with several big names and a lot of random generated players it won't happen, and ea just wouldn't put in all the work for rights for a non complete team.
For anyone saying it’s too much work that is just BS look at the NBA games people just get desensitized to people who do not care about making a good game NBA is truly the gold standard in my opinion when it comes to features and a immersive experience they just don’t have the same Servers quality wise
Great video Eric! Very informative
Appreciate it!
i recently played head coach and its sad that it has more depth than the new gen maddens
Great video - love the insight!
Much appreciated!
Great Video Eric!!
Honestly a great video man
What if EA went to like a 2 year cycle?
Not really possible. NFL wants a game out every year. EA also won't throw away a year of game sales.
DLC
EricRayweather what about splitting the dev teams, the former dev already said that there were kind of too many people, so maybe take half of each team and give them 2 years to release a game on alternating cycles like Call of Duty used to do
@@EricRayweather This whole thing sounds like an excuse from EA. Especially if it's time based. Acting like people would be in an uproar if they took a year or 2 off is ridiculous. It would do nothing but get people they've lost, ready to come back if the game had a ton of old features that were removed and if gameplay was more user controlled based than animations. I mean, they have no competition to worry about. This would actually be the best time. They also don't have to lose out on games sales year to year. Just offer a small paid for game update that gives you what would be current for the following season, until you're ready to drop the full new version. There is a way to do it, they just don't have any pressure to do it.
Also, it basically sounds like they're 💩'ing on old Madden in effort to tell us what we have now is better. But that's not true. They goto "Frantics" so they don't have to rebuild for new gen consoles, but then fail to add what was there before. I don't really care how it was held together in previous Maddens, the fact is, It was there and it was amazing. You can't tell me an awesome house is trash, just because I can't lift it up and move it whenever I want. I'd rather have the awesome house with all the bells and whistles; then goto a house that is portable but has way way less to offer as far as amenities.
If they wanted to rebuild or create an engine, Cool. Just make sure to keep building and adding things that it had before you started over.
Xavier Steel amen my guy!
Franchise in 07 was bare bones because they put all their eggs in one basket... superstar mode. And then later years got better and superstar mode was 95% the same until they scrapped it
Damn bro was just thinking about all the features we lost and you uploaded one, thanks
Great video!
EA has improved on excuses every year. Good job on that EA.
After watching this I respect you as a journalist. Good shit Eric
I just want first person camera back and the combine and college and highschool
First person mode was 2k
And helmets popping off with hits,hard hits,injuries. Not a fan of the latest madden's.
Chris Breuer those features you can actually blame nfl on, they had madden remove those things
@@SCSAsJorts yep
All i really want back is the full customization of relocation teams
What amazes me is how much fun madden used to be when it was held together with duct tape and wire, then when it gets updated it can’t have as many features as stuff that was on ps2.
This video was eye opening I thought that the franchise mode features were simply removed because they wanted to remove them but watching this gives me hope that franchise mode will improve. It’s my favorite mode in madden.
Outstanding insight. I personally have struggled play this game more than a few months the last couple of years. Good to hear Haumiller and Swami are working on Franchise now but I will not be buying this game day 1 this year. Too many letdowns for years. Madden 16 was good though
Appreciate the content, hopefully Madden inserts effort into off the field improvement to franchise mode. We have a 32 user daily league. We create our own programs to add depth but it'd be cool if EA made it more immersive!
that video was a banger man
Thank you!
I still play Franchise on Madden 20 and thank god it was better this year. But, I really wish they would add more in depth stats, like what team each player has played for by year. I also miss being able to sign real offensive and defensive coordinators in the offseason.
*Talk about why there's no physics in any of the Madden games. Its animation simulation lol*
If they stopped focusing their time with ultimate team and focused primarily on franchise mode, it wouldnt seem like that "big of a task"
The return of coordinators should be the next thing added! NCAA did it so well. Imagine being able to be a coordinator and earning a head coaching gig!! I'd go as far to say that adding a few new relocation cities would be nice as well
Im a franchise only guy. The move to PC was HUGE and I'm hoping franchise expands. Being on a PC makes playing franchise so much better.
Always loved franchise mode but it’s not been the same for a while now, every year I look to see if they upgrade the relocation of a team to where there’s more options for team names and uniforms but no some cities don’t even have options for new names and uniforms.
I miss being able to watch it in spectator mode. Sometimes I just wanted to watch and not have to play or simulate every game. Spectator mode was awesome to me anyways.
You still can just sim game in put on slow
@@Kuzach1 Thank you... I was able to it. Thanks again...
I play MUT a lot but I love franchise and it makes me sad that they neglect such a good mode
So In Short, They Threw Some Broken Codes Together To Get A Playable Game On Older Consoles. But As Technology Progressed, They Had To Rebuild The Game But Still Used Some Old Codes , Like Before, That Didn’t Work Properly. So Why Won’t They Take Time To Make A Proper Product That Is Actually Good ?
TheRealAmias its EA. Enough said
they only get 1 year...
So...you were told that 30 YEARS into game development history (since commercial games began launching in the 70's) was still the "old days of the Wild West" with a straight face???
Why do they have all of these issues with programming but yet 2k makes a ball game that blows madden out of the water
This is still your best video ever lol. Just playin'.
My wife found this out of the blue and somehow knew it was me lol.
The other problem with madden franchise mode is the madden community, we cry for useless stuff. The developers are over there trying to figure out how to put in gumshields and new cleats and other useless stuff that is cool for 2 seconds but then you don't even look at after 2 days rather than actually developing the game! I'm good if there aren't any gumshields in the game or 20 different kind of cleats. Just give me a mode that is decent to play coz that will entertain me more than Michael Thomas or Jamaal Adams wearing Jordan's.
I would love a game that was just Franchise mode, every game won or lost would effect the whole story mode.. and more customization to your players and even the team.
Great video. I still think about franchise mode everyday. It’s so sad. If people want a fun franchise sim check out Pocket GM 20 on iOS. It’s really great. I’m not a mobile gamer but I put a ton of hours into that game. It kills Madden franchise mode
As a PC gamer, I had to wait after Madden08 til Madden19 for it to reappear on PC. What a shock ... Franchise had died and MUT was everything !!! ... and the customisation ??? where the heck did that go ? So I'm now back into wait mode for someone else to recreate Madden or for EA to return Franchise to its former glory before I buy another. Guess Madden05 will remain my madden game til something better comes along.
If Madden 12 is last good franchise, who I'm enjoy to play all 32 teams into franchise seasons. Hope Madden 21 could makes like PS2's Era!
you can. just create 32 owners.
Oh yes! Of course, Bro! Maybe I’m best ownership of Madden NFL Series’ Franchise!
Probably why I haven't bought a madden since 17.
I really hope and can't wait for the newer ones to get it right.
Wow i legit was just thinking of this! I remember my team went bankrupt and the game crashed haha... what year is this game ur playing here???
Also I miss being able to actually build your draft picks up through actually practicing with them doing the drills on the old Franchise...that would have been nice
Your a great youtuber and most likely a great man
I am surprised the developer didn't mention Brooks law. It is a known fact in software development of many other such processes that when you add people to teams you necessarily increase the number of communication lines that have to happen between people buy n that is to say that if n is the number of people on the team already you added person you have any more lines of communication the comes a point when when teams are spending more time communicating than actually being able to spend time on code and features 5 in scrum teams we often talked about two pizzas being enough
I'm still trying to figure out what has happened to the option of challenging an absolutely bogus play or even for it to be reviewed at all, cause I have so many different bullshit plays happen its unreal. I've went on EA's website and talked to them about it, made forums, and it's made no difference
This was very insightful, and in theory it sounds like making the jump to frantk would have been the right move, it just seems dumb how something that was supposedly more easy, more uniform and required less resources has resulted in a mode that is just plain bad 7 years in to this console cylce
Why the user can't to chose preseason schedule and in preseason we have Packers-Lions? Why the user can't to chose OC and DC with they who can to leave your team and to become head coach? Why there is not players' hold out? All that there was in Madden 09 for PS2...(and there was the minicamp with the minigames).
I just think it's mildly ridiculous that it doesn't keep track of which teams players have played for in franchise still, it just goes year by year, it would be nice to see which teams your FAs came from to build storyline if you play that team in the playoffs or regular season. They could even make a simple acknowledgment of it in game like "lets see how this former Jag does against his former team today" but instead it's just stat lines instead of CHI, CHI, CHI, NE, GB, GB, SEA with the stats like how it should be done. Also coordinators of course
I really miss being able to see players previous played teams and position battles
Same
Hahahah you’re sponsor is a ball shaving company Hahahah lmao you’re the man bro
If they honestly focused mostly on contract and draft logic and added more coaching staff options, franchise would be amazing. I do not see how this could be so difficult
I wish they'd let you adjust the quarter length for the simulated games, my stats are always close to the bottom of the league because I play 6 minute quarters send the simulated games are like 15 minute quarters
Personally maddens greatest downfall was starting from scratch on the 360. I know they saying the code was a mass on the ps2, but it’s only until recently that the game is getting back to the level it was back then.
Tony Bruno show be sending me way back
what killed me, and I hardly ever bought a madden after 2004 was because how wimply madden was when the fans said to get rid of the play editor. The fans actually said that the play editor makes madden unrealistic. Basically, a few influencial fans decided they didn't feel like playing against more creative fans; so, they made a big hoopla about it, and madden felt the social pressure, and got rid of the play editor.
If you just had the play editor alone, all that stuff about franchise mode features would be a mute point. They should have kept and worked on keeping the play editor!
We still can’t throw a fade route with proper ball trajectory. The animations for catching and tackling show a lack of investment for honing a real Physics engine. They still haven’t recovered since 06 when they bought the competition.
Best video you ever made
NCAA 14 had coordinators where madden doesn't . Fix contracts, add coordinators, allow play creator and editing and better scouting then I'm good.
On Xbox you can never see the record of the person playing you online. It was fun when you beat someone in the top 10 or even 50. My record doesn't even show up anymore since everyone is playing it these days.
a good video. as to the guy who worked on Madden, i'm not sure if he really answered anything. i take that back - i understand the "wild west" argument. yet, it did work! we still miss those aspects of the game today. despite what the developer may think from his lay-of-the-land perspective, i think it simply comes down to money. with a quick cycle, they had to prioritize and they chose to focus on the wrong things. call it bad decision-making and move on... possibly to other games.
I miss those graphics!!! If we could have the mechanics from Madden 04-06 with the realistic graphics, I’d love it. I buy madden each year though.
"Mode can only improve, not get worse" EA : "Hold my Beer!"
Well to be fair, since the new engine it's never gon backwards or lost anything. It's only gotten features added since then. They just have been moving slow to get it back to where it fully needs to be.
@@EricRayweather you're absolutely right on that. But I'd argue that trusting them to never mess it up again would be going against everything we've seen from them. So while past results don't necessarily predict the future they do give us a glimpse into the culture and competency of that company and development team.
This is making me want to play madden 05 now . I been playing madden 10 since it came out . This year is the 1st time I try something new and was not impressed at all . Think I'll go find my old ps2 and play madden 05 and listen to the tony burrno show lol .
They need to remove the 30 year cap in franchise and add alternative jerseys to the relocation teams if not make them customizable. I would love to see the combine added back as well.
I want to ask a question, you sign a coach to a four year deal. Then you win a super bowl in his first year and shockingly after that, you must resign him to a new deal. In Franchise mode, what's going on here?
Antjuan Sampson give him a promise for an extension towards the end of the contract, so more you have a clearer picture of your assets heading in to fa and the draft
@@PopMercii Thank you
Just added a draft board, so you can see where people go pick by pick.
All this still doesn’t answer the question of when will they build those features into this engine? Because in order to make a better franchise mode wouldn’t it make sense to start with upgraded versions of those features
