Enough is Enough

Maximum football or axis football seem to be where I’m gonna start investing in 

I am genuinely curious... why are some people SO concerned with how the fake, generated players look in Franchise mode? Other than creating yourself or something (which can be done in Superstar mode), what would be the benefit of intricately editing individual players within a made-up draft class? I get it to an extent when it comes to the individuals who spend hours creating future draft classes based on real prospects, but there are not that many people who care that much about how a fake player looks. Most people who play CFM care more about the gameplay aspect and the CFM-specific performance. I just don't see how people can bash EA and Madden because "they don't let me make very specific-looking players in the 200+ player fake draft classes." I don't care if a prospect looks like a gremlin or a troll or if he has 100 guys with the same face scan, if he ran a 4.24 40-yard dash and has good/decent attributes/skills, then I will draft him, and play him no matter what. I am not hating, as I know everyone does things and plays the game differently, but it sounds like you want Superstar mode and Franchise mode to combine so it would be almost like a Franchise full of Superstars, which just isn't realistic in my opinion. Madden is by no means perfect, no game is, but complaining about something that isn't essential to the success of Franchise mode is kind of pointless. I do like the create a team idea, as it used to be a pretty common thing in Madden, but with how immature people are these days, it would be hard for EA to regulate EVERYTHING inappropriate now that everything is so online/public. Someone would probably make a racist/sexist/homophobic based team and then post it on YouTube and then EA would have to scour through EVERY Madden create a team file to make sure that EVERYTHING is appropriate. I will say that I hate how much they focus on MUT, but with it being pay-to-win, that will always be where they make their money so that's sadly where they will continue to put their focus.

@WillTrott94for me the biggest thing is authenticity and immersion. The reason people are so hard on Madden to deliver a good create a player feature is simply because every other sports game has the features people are asking Madden to have. They all have face editors etc. The reason I like it outside of superstar is because of how generic the game looks after a few seasons in CFM. I don't want my tops QB's WR's etc to all have the same generic face, it kills the immersion. The FEW real players they have on the sidelines look terrible when they all have the same face. On top of it, the generic faces they do give us have been recycled through id say at least 4 or 5 years of Madden. Personally, i love the customization aspect of games and seeing Madden years behind 2k, NHL, FIFA, The Show and so on is quite disappointing.

I don't understand why they won't add back most if not all of the features they removed from Franchise. people really had their hopes up for 24 and it still doesn't come close to having the immersion of Fifa (EA FC). maybe it's serious time for some changes at the top of Madden because if I had to pay for the game, I wouldn't buy it in its current state. Franchise is once again bare bones...they added 3 more trade slots and 32 relocation cities and other than that, nothing.

Cmon EA Madden. if this is make or break....what's next?

@xPats4LifexAgreed. NBA2K is light years ahead of Madden when it comes to this. I personally prefer football over basketball, when it comes to video games, so it annoys me that EA hasn’t adopted the same type of immersion. Have you seen what Brock Purdy looks like without a helmet in Madden 24? Lol, who at EA said, “yeah that looks about right”?

100% Agree with NBA 2K being light years ahead of Madden for create a player. I also play WWE 2K and their character creation is a step above NBA 2K. WWE 2K has a more advanced Photo Face Capture where a photo is placed on the creator. I have Ana De Armas as a created wrestler and it looks like her. What is better is that you can upload as many photos and create other players with them. After the face capture, the face can further be updated.

If this face capture tool is available in Madden, Brock Purdy, Joe Montana or Dan Marino can be created with their likeness. For other gamers, it is also possible to create John Cena, Austin Butler or even Ana De Armas if they want. It would totally rock if Madden can bring back gameface. But there is a chance that the 2K football game might get there first since they already have the face capture technology.
