Still a massive L that they removed the draft class face editor they had in the beta. That feature would have REVOLUTIONIZED franchise by making it playable past 3 seasons because the players faces would have been different. I know not everyone cares about that but it KILLS immersion.

true, idk why they can't have multiple commentary teams. and idk if it's possible but i've always wanted the commentary in franchise mode to talk about what players have done throughout the season during the games. like if you do a fantasy draft franchise and it's week 8 and bijan leads the leauge in rushing/is first in MVP race, I want the commentary to talk about it during the game

[@LeMenace1]

The wait for the contract to expire continues in this edition of “Roster updates, minor model changes, and stuff that was already in the game.” People are settling way too low when it comes to Madden changes.

[@marotzgaming3595]

I’d love to see EA add in the option to start out as DC or OC and earn your way up to Head coach

[@brandonstiffler7946]

One of the most fun things to do in NCAA is work your way up through the coaching carousel. Decide if you want to take a better coordinator job at a bigger university of continue to do you thing for an interesting head coaching job makes the dynasty mode so much more realistic and entertaining. To see that in Madden would be great.

[@drphot6050]

Agreed but unfortunately, they don't seem to want many black HC's

[@redrangers12330]

Duuuude that would be sick to be a coordinator. There could be a be a coach mode sort of like a be a player mode where u start out as a qb coach or something then make your way up to head

[@coachholden]

Only be able to call plays/control the side you coach would be dope for sure.

[@theonefrancis696]

They just need to rebuild the code from the ground up. They are seriously trying to tape pieces of old code together because they don't want to spend money on actual programming skills. Yet they make enough cash every year to go to the moon and back on foot. Problem is EA is so much invested into specific sports like FIFA or NBA that titles like Madden are left in the corner. Bad company management.

[@tweaked74]

Presentation. Stale announcers. No TV broadcast style look. That's my number 1 thing still missing.

Played face of the franchise as a qb on 23 a bit I was on the Vikings and when ever I threw a deep ball to the best guy on the field (Justin jefferson) he just wouldn’t jump and it would either get picked or swatted and picked or just swatted He had to have a step for him atleast to get his hands on the ball so hope they fixed that

Would be cool to see when the new ncaa game comes out if we can take our player from that and import to madden like the old days and use that character in superstar mode. I had so much fun playing the games back in 2006 creating my character in ncaa and going through that and seeing how he ends up in the league.

[@deschampie966]

Something that was also cool in the old ncaa games idk if it was ever in madden but sometimes your players would start taunting/celebrating and if you didn't skip that scene fast enough you'd get a personal foul. (ncaa games were important cause from my perspective they were used to test out features for madden.)

[@dawgemo]

They added absolutely nothing new to Franchise Mode.. All they did is put in features that they removed years ago

[@richinfacts6003]

Bruh! Madden is still not half as realistic as 2K and idk why more fans don’t see that. 1- We need ACTUAL SIDELINE PLAYERS from each team alive and interacting with what’s going on on the field 2- DYNAMIC CROWDS! 3- An actual sideline reporter. 4- Players getting carted off and leaving with injuries. 5- A HALFTIME show! 6- The ability to watch user and cpu matches and replays in Franchise mode. 7- An actual draft animation sequence where we see a commissioner calling player names like 2K

[@9erfan757]

It’s clear that the EA developers don’t know how to represent the NFL. The NFL specializes in presentation and madden represents the NFL poorly and has no presentation.

[@joeanderson444]

I swear EA in regard to MADDEN is purposely holding out on the things people want so they can keep it in the bag just in case sales begin to bomb. They can add it in a large patch or something to save the game when sales just happen to be low. Also, they know if they dump a bunch of new great things into a particular season, it will be hard to top that in following seasons and people may not buy it other than the ones who purchase for the fact that it's the newest game!

[@jahthejuiceman2032]

They should add like a my team kind of thing where you can create a team off your favorite players current and legend alike and play for rewards

[@aforaidanz5295]

Draft champions was the best mode madden ever had. 1v1 your friend was the most fun thing they had.

[@buckeyes2387]

The only issue that the new superstar mode is going to have is limiting the mode to 3 vs 3 users. That’s not going to get a lot of play like the yard. The cool thing about the yard was you could play against the Ai and unlock things and easily progress your superstar. Taking that away to a 3 vs 3 superstar showdown is going to be a huge mistake. But flip side the other modes will see more play time like Ultimate Team and Franchise Mode. Super mode is the least played mode anyway

[@EricRayweather]

Believe you can still play against the AI if you want to. But if you want to do all users vs all users you can now do that unlike the yard where half your team had to be AI regardless.

One of the things you mentioned in here is the additional things between the plays. Whine I get it. It’s more realistic. I also want a way to just simply turn this off or a way to better fast forward through them. Past years I have dreaded just how many time after almost every play the game went to replays, showed the crowd, showed the sidelines and coaches doing their things. There’s times when I just want to play the game without having to spend an extra 15 minutes a game due to the additional fluff they add in. I’d like a way to decide if we want to turn it on or off
