Re: Franchise mode game sliders error

So it IS broken, but not in the way you think it is. You probably shouldn’t have deleted your franchise mode.

The settings change to the game’s arcadey default whenever you start up a game. So before you actually start the game, go into the settings from the “pregame” menu and re-select the preset you made.

The fact that it’s greyed out in-game is actually not a glitch at all—it’s always been like that. So just make sure you have the settings set AFTER you hit Play Game, from the pre-game settings. Hope that helps.

Also, how WILD is it that this issue made its way into the final product?

    @Cote12 Thanks for your help. it is wild that this is the case since i remember in previous titles just going into franchise and everything was ready to go. Thank you again very much, i appreciate it.

    @darkryd3r I hope so to . It's not a huge deal but if you forget to go into settings before entering each game I can see were frustration can sink in pretty quickly.

    @20Portugal04 Can you at least change your teams strategies in edit lines menu or do you have to do it every time before select start game? That’s been the one thing stopping me from starting franchise mode

    @BoredJason13 To be honest I'm not sure, I have everything in my edit lines and team strategies done from the main franchise screen before entering the pre game screen, what really stinks is you have no control again on how you want to set up each lines performances, for example line 1 if you want to crash the net and change the 0-10 meter for pass/shoot, dump/chase, etc you have no control for that and I absolutely hate this.

    @BoredJason13 the team lines seemed fine. I just had a second to try it, its just the rules and the gameplay sliders that you have to worry about going into the pregame setting to make sure they work

    @20Portugal04 Uggghhh. I hate that. The pass/shoot, crash the net/behind the net, dump/chase was what I was hoping we could edit in the regular edit lines and not have to do it every single game before you start

    @BoredJason13 I'm right there with you , it was the same last year it wasn't available for you to mess with it as head coach options were grayed out and you could only change the lines and the in game defense pressure and non-pressure and same for the offense. I don't understand the reasoning behind it. I think 22 had all of it available to you but I can't fully remember for sure.

    @20Portugal04 I understand the reasoning too but they should at least give you the option to turn it off, like 99% of the other things. I myself turn off a bunch of stuff because I want to have full control. I loved the idea of player morale when it first came out, but first week playing with it the game had said Matt Martin, Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck all hated each other and morale sank. Haha I can’t believe a line that has played together for so long hates each other so from that point on I’ve turned off morale. It should be simple like that. Oh you don’t like something, here’s an option to turn it off. We can’t let you edit the strategies you want to play with but at least we can make sure the arena bathrooms are up to date
