Offline Franchise Review
I've written basically the exact same post for years now and honestly, it's quite disappointing. I went through part of the 10-hr trial to see everything I needed in franchise mode this year. After l...

i went to several twitch streams and scoured the internet. You are the only other person than myself to say this. I think they are suppressing it and secretly making this game only MUT and online Skirmish mode

I don't think they're doing that, but I do think they are severely neglecting the offline and franchise modes. It's still there as bare bones as it is, I actually think that since they are the only company that can make a "simulation' football game that they have to include franchise mode. Besides it would be bad for sales to completely omit franchise. The bring in more sales but having it there, dangling the carrot and not delivering anything substantial.
- @sparkydill absolutely ridiculous...
- @jfeev508 the game will unfortunately sell every year bc its the only company who can make a "sim" NFL game... personally i think its time to END EA's exclusive rights with the game. They desperately need competition... They only care about MUT anyways which is the furthest thing from a sim NFL game. Pushing a crap franchise mode every year to claim exclusive rights is disgusting for all consumers. This monopoly needs to end.
@xPats4LifexYeah I think it's crazy for the NFL to have allowed this deal to last for now 20years. In fact EA has had exclusive rights to the NFL licenses for longer than any of its previous competitors were even making sim football games. That is such a crazy thought. I know that NBA 2K certainly has its issues as well but at least they don't have exclusive rights, EA simply isn't confident enough (or are too busy counting its hundreds of millions from these Hard drive black whole/coffee table coasters of football games) to make another basketball game.
Unlike many in the community I would prefer solid realistic gameplay with, strong AI team building logic, the ability to build out a robust coaching strategic (not some stupid focus on running between the tackles or intermediate passing), players that actually play like themselves both in game on the field and in simmed games and of course real lifelike NFL sim stats. Teams that you can set RB by committee and the game does that in simmed games. Sim stats that don't rely on a specific playbook for specific results. Not seeing 20 sack seasons every year. The ability to choose to play with all 32 teams with the press of a button and not something that takes 30 plus minutes. I think this community just deserves better.
Bring FOG OF WAR TO MADDEN. It will fix franchise!!!!!
