    Really?? Not even any of the bug fixes with equipment or gameplay we’ve been begging for? EA doesn’t listen 

  • Never before have the devs taken a player from having an X-Factor to ZERO abilities...until now. 

    You've always made players have to be consistently good for MULTIPLE years to earn this. And have MULTIPLE bad years to lose all abilities...until now. 

    So what, Deebo has ONE DOWN year, and you take away ALL his abilities???

    Aiyuk gets hurt early in the season and you take away his abilities too???

    I don't like doing this, but this clearly looks like an agenda looking to be served.

    What, too much data out there where players ran with the Niners in online H2H games and still beat the top tier teams???

    News flash, a HEALTHY Niners team...beats alot of top tier teams. 

    Way to go devs, and since you've taken away out ability to SEE WHICH TEAM WE'RE PLAYING before launching an online H2H team, we're stuck. 

    Couldn't fix the fact that folks have been spamming light boxes vs the run for the last SIX YEARS...

    Couldn't fix the fact that option routes weren't tuned after zone coverage was tuned, so they're HIGHLY UNRELIABLE now. 

    Nope, but you found time to set a new precedent...destroying competitive balance. 

    Way to go. ✌🏾

    Can you address the team logos being replaced with the profile logo in online and offline franchise mode? Why are the teams default logo just gone? There is not a single option to change it back. This needs to be fixed. This is ruining the experience of the game and is showing franchise players you don’t really care about their “simulation” football

  • Is there a reason every new title update you can use the rosters that was just added in a new franchise? Am I doing something wrong it doesn’t work online or offline it always loads the previous rosters. The newest superstars and X factors will not work with a new franchise?

    did you notice that no one liked this post? Does that tell you anything? Do you think maybe you pissed everyone off with the update that killed Franchise immersion with the stupid scoreboard bug showing stuff for a totally different game mode that Franchise users CLEARLY DO NOT WANT OR ELSE THEY'D PLAY THOSE MODES?

     

    Oh, wait, you dont even check this, duh.
