Franchise mode has potential but…

I am really enjoying the ideas introduced into franchise mode. I like the coach loadouts and method of upgrading each perk (in theory). But there’s things that don’t make sense, such as a defensive perk or play sheet penalizing me for getting 4+ TFLs in a game. Also, the sim engine doesn’t support many of the perks, making them not viable unless I were to user every play of every game (which most people aren’t)

Early on, play the moments seems solid. There’s an issue with the wrong down and distance being on the ticker. But I had a great game against the Eagles CPU on 14 min quarters (playing the moments) that ended 28-23. Very satisfied to see a realistic result like that early, and hope it’s the norm. Too often in past Madden’s there would be WAY too many point in supersim.

So far the scenarios are much less cheesy and obnoxious than last year, and add to the enjoyment of the mode. If y’all polish the coach perks, improve the sim engine, and make draft classes have more variety as far as draft prospect generator, I think this is a good game mode. Please listen 🙏
