Please feel free to add any
1- Team next to career stats, duh. As well as a transaction tab to see their injuries, contracts, cuts
2- Better scouting with an ability to choose a 'randomness factor' Almost all top picks become major players in 3 years
4- COACHES - I am not sure if this is a union thing or a union wanting money thing but the old system of HC-OC-DC-ST was nice as was some retired players becoming coaches. Coaches should also have the same archetypes and abilities like the players now
5- Why put in the LS if you make them less than 50 overall and they get cut? make a damn attribute just for that position and the AI looks to fill it with 1 roster spot
6- Speaking of that...can we stop using QB2 for FG holder? That is a job 90% of punters perform. Again make up an attribute that only QB/K/P have and make it rare for the first two to have it
7- Let me control BOTH teams! My favorite part of Franchise mode is Preseason when I control both teams at the start of each quarter and put in 1st string/2nd string et al or I like to play as one team 1st half, other team 2nd half. BTW, we used to have Preseason battles where close OVR players were shown
8- Let us determine the 'evolution' of the league by having total modifiers. If I want to bring back I form running strategy, let me say passing totals should be reduced by about 10,000 and rushing yards increased by 8,000
9 - Better injuries and time database. A strained sternum is not 22 weeks and a partially torn PCL is not 7 weeks Plus depending on the player's position it might affect them less or more. Also, more injuries. Just get a database of NFL injury reports for last 3 years & calculate average time off. Then we should have probable/doubtful/out
10 - Custom Playbook FFS. Get rid of CFM (hardly anyone plays it) or take my advice and put Franchise as DLC and let us create playbooks/stadiums/logos
11 - Fix Auto subs...or if they do work, let us know HOW because it doesn't for most. Most don't play 15 minute Qtrs, so EA should have a guide of how the Fatigue setting can work with auto subs to get a nice HB/WR/DL rotation or else WHY do I even have a 53 man roster?
12 - Formation subs is become more of a pain in every new edition. It used to be easy to see Formation A had 3 run plays and 10 pass plays, 3 of them being HB targets, thus...we could sub our receiving back in that one formation. Now it is going through every drop down
13 - Fix your draft classes and stop relying on users to do it. Some years we should get a WR class, some years a QB class, some years the top picks suck and stars are in the 3rd to 6th rounds many years it is only serviceable players 2nd rnd onwards ,
14- Stick the DJ Khalid garbage out the window
15- Maybe get some Apple blatant product placement instead of Microsoft so that things like THE KICK METER DISAPPEARING doesn't happen
16 - Update the terminology and schemes. ROLB/MLB/LOLB is outdated, you are on the right path with scheme and players archetype fit, build on it
17- Let us edit EVERY attribute on players for any team on Franchise aside from their personal info. Talking about xfctors and superstar abilities here
18- Yes, you have Commish role but what about God mode? Offline Franchise is #1 play mode I shouldn't have to create 32 owners and then have them auto everything to decide my league's Vikings are killing themselves by keeping a HB that has fumbled 8 times in 6 games as #1 just because he is rated 76 and his backup is rated 72 and fixing their depth chart
19 - restructure contracts - it happens ALL the time
20 - compensatory picks - it happens ALL the time
21 - Home field advantage and crowd size. If I miss the playoffs 6 seasons I should have moderate crowd size but still have a slight boost when playing home. If I am 2-8 my crowd size should be nearly empty. If I missed the playoffs for 8 years and then make it with a good record, my crowd size should be HUGE with slight advantages
22- Better commentary, use voice actors instead of paying NFL broadcasters or have some of the programmers or other team members be announcers (2 teams of 2 to not become repetitive) , sideline reporters , halftime report. We don't care about the name, we care about the quality . For preseason, just have a 1 person booth and have 2 male staffers and 2 female staffers call various games in preseason for variety (they could also voice sideline or Halftime shows during the season) That would be cheaper and easier than getting expensive boring broadcasters who sound like they don't want to be in the booth saying lines, anyway
23 - relocation fix - if i move Tampa Bay to Memphis, I should still be able to use the old Bucs uniforms as throwbacks like Tennessee does with Oilers
24- Get rid of that Twitter garbage, bring back the radio show with news articles
25 - FA should be a real time bidding war
Lastly look at Madden 2012 & NCAA 14, your predecessors knew basic things to put in Franchise and over reacted to why people hated 13 and went in a very different direction.
And like I have stated in another thread, Franchise players WOULD PAY for a Franchise DLC where we get our wants without it breaking due to patches
