Playing the same teams every year in franchise?

Question

Is it just me or in a multi-year CFM franchise do the schedules consist of the same teams in different orders and different home/away games? I don't remember this being a thing in Madden 24 (wouldn't surprise me if it was) but I feel like I've noticed this being the case in Madden 25, so probably freshly broken this year maybe.

Hey Madden franchise team. Stop breaking the game mode you're responsible for. Instead of focusing on stupid **** that I'm going to turn off after having it on one time like your massive tribute to Roger Goodell, focus on improving simulation logic, making it possible to customize playbooks in franchise mode, decoupling sim success from playbook selection, making owner mode more meaningful re: finances, making contract negotiation more realistic, making your new scenarios actually check the conditions correctly, ask realistic questions of coaches, and feel less robotic and soulless re: dialog. You know ACTUAL IMPROVEMENTS FFS. What you're offering in CFM and have been for the last several years is PATHETIC.

Nothing breaks immersion like looking at your "Adjust Lineup" screen and seeing an offensive line full of clones. Ridiculous. The addition of coaching talent trees seemed promising but it lacks depth, and needs some level of randomization or something to make it more interesting. You really need to get away from this "team playbook" restriction, tie schemes to playbooks better, and introduce some replay value there. I'd like for it to matter more who I select as my Head Coach, OC, and DC. I'd like them to each have unique playbooks and philosophies, not just some random scheme and playbook (which often don't even really fit together).
