A Comprehensive List Of Franchise Issues Needing Fixed
Been a player for years and I usually send this into EA via email, but my fixes never get solved. Hoping this forum will do the trick this year. Playing Franchise Mode on PS5.
1.) When playing a game using Super Sim (Offense Only), if you are controlling your team at the time (meaning it isn’t simming) and there is a turnover or score on the last play of the half, the other team gets the ball at that spot to start the second half. Even if they got the ball to start the game! Terribly aggravating bug that has been present in the last five or six iterations of the game.
2.) Loading screens when getting into Player Cards are way too long. When starting a new season, we need to get into a bunch of these and it’s super annoying, having to wait for a loading screen dozens of times. I have the graphics set to Performance, btw.
3.) Why is there no ability to multi-select and release players? When Salary Cap is turned off, I should be able to mass-select my ten or so players ranked in the 40s and release them all at once. It takes about ten minutes for me to individually open their Player Card, wait for the loading screen, select Release, then do it again with the next player.
4.) Game Options and League Sliders from the Madden home screen do not copy over into Franchise Mode. You need you re-enter all Game Options settings upon starting a new Franchise.
5.) Career Settings when starting a new Franchise give no option to Save As Default. You need to re-enter these settings each time you start a new Franchise.
6.) When editing Player Ratings, the player’s OVR does not change until you save and back out of the editor. This should be a live number that changes as you edit. Same issue when adjusting their jersey number with the Edit Player screen (the player model will still show his old number until you save and leave the editor).
7.) When editing player equipment (sleeves, gloves, etc.), there seems to be no rhyme or reason to how they're sorted. Why not put all the same sleeve types together? Or all the same colors together? Or -- even better -- just give us a way to sort them however we want (by type, color, brand, etc.)?
8.) The "Primetime" Trophy on PS5 just says "Gain yards while using Celebration Loco." Was there meant to be a number here? How many yards? Just gaining two yards does not pop the trophy.
9.) I'm sure this has something to do with the contract between the NFL and EA, but can we not get the real Offensive and Defensive Coordinators in the game?
I’m adding a few photos below of grammatical issues I’ve noticed within the dialogue between coaches. Mind you, I’ve only played one week of Franchise so far, so I’m sure there are more in there somewhere. These are just the ones that popped out like a sore thumb to me.
Photo 1: Missing the word "to" between "health" and "start." Also, do we really need this to be a selectable option? It feels like the game thinks I'm stupid. I know this isn't a real choice - both answers are the exact same. Just get rid of one option and use the button as a way to move the dialogue forward. I've noticed this on almost every "conversation" in the game.
Photo 2: The "I" should not be capitalized in the word "it"
Photo 3: It should be "affect," not "effect" (did you have a third-grader write these?). Also, you're missing the S in "players" here.
Anyway, I really hope you can get to some of these. Number 1 has bugged me SO bad, for years and years. I’m more than happy to clarify any of these if it’s needed. I just want to love Madden again…
