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...

@xPats4Lifex I share your concerns for the outdated generic faces. In fact some of the faces are remnants of NCAA 14 era games.
I understand that being an issue for many, but it's really the least of our problems. This games sim engine just doesn't generate realistic results and it comes from the sim stats being tied to playbooks for yet another year.
If I edit an already good receiving back like McCaffrey and make all of his receiving ratings in the 99s I should get more than 33 catches out of him. I don't get why this was ever the design choice and why they've decided (or maybe don't care about it) to stay with it.
This game just has a ton of egregious legacy issues.
I think other than the fact that it's the only licensed "simulation" football title on the market this game has failed to fulfill its reason for existing.

- @jfeev508 so many flaws in this game. EA has 0 competition so every year they can push out a garbage game that will sell bc its the only company allowed to make a sim NFL game... All they care about is MUT. Franchise mode has been dead and neglected for YEARS... i HOPE the NFL doesnt give EA exclusive rights again after this contract that is expiring.
- @jfeev508 Many of the faces are shared with the NHL product to boot. Even the coaches. Laughable.
- @RumOak163 Oh wow that is sad. I don't play NHL so I wasn't aware of that. In other words then EA sports' team sports games are the only ones that don't have a facial editing/face morphing function.
Same old EA!
Played out and dumb create a player faces
Skinny players with FAT CALVES
300lb lineman with chicken legs
Long hair mechanics so stupid when helmets equipped. Trevor Lawrence and Garden Minshew hair grows substantially when helmet is equipped. Stupid!
Casts instead of ankle wrap tape
Under Armor cleats when they’ve not been allowed in NFL for years.
Could go on and on but why bother! EA is a lazy game developer company!!!!

I agree with your gripes but players can wear UA apparel on field as long as they cover up the logo.
- @J-West316 they are so far behind every sports game its ridiculous
The Sim stats are unacceptable in franchise mode
In this game and in CFB 25. There are so many other issues with the game that this likely won't get fixed.
