M26 FRANCHISE FEEDBACK
So after a pretty good Play Now/H2H experience, I'm kind of at a loss for words on how to describe the difference in experience Franchise has been. I'm only half way through my first season, but ther...

Coaching Abilities Update:
- The last ability unlock at 31 is pretty far out. I maintain my argument within the article that more slots to fill this gap would be great.
- Some of these ability upgrades and downgrades are just simply not good. Cover Guru downgrades that need you to hold opposing offense to under 350 pass yards, especially on higher minute quarters/difficulties, is just bad with the current state of User Pass Defense. This goes even more so for the "Mr. Dream" ability in which the downgrade threshold is even less at 300 yards. Any ability that has you hold the opposing offense to under 3 TD's, especially on higher minute quarters/difficulties, is also really bad. Any offense upgrade ability that needs you to rush for 175 total yards, especially with lower bronze and silver tiers, is simply a bit much considering the NFL average total rush yards per game is only 121.4 according to Google AI. Knocking that down to 125 for lower tiers, and 150 for higher tiers I think would be more appropriate. Other abilities like Pressure Posse who's downgrade is "no interceptions in a game 3 times" is just stupid. Average INT's per game is only .08 on both sides of the ball and is declining according to Google AI. That's almost 1 INT/game, and it's not guaranteed to swing your way. Especially bad when there's 17 games that need playing. I feel these are the most problematic and should probably be tuned sooner than later, if possible.
- Playsheet unlocks I feel should be a little better spaced as well. As I progress I find myself really enjoying the Playsheets, so I maintain the argument for more of them with better spaced unlocks.
I can say most of the franchise upgrades/downgrades are designed to a user v user type of setup. Playing CPU on higher mins like 5 mins or more will be virtually impossible
I agree it's a much better User vs. User experience. I play 12 minute quarters currently on SIM, but however they code and balance the game within SIM to work from a CPU vs CPU experience and then further add the difference in difficulty to the mix, just winds up feeling like a scripted mess when playing User vs. CPU right now. COMP feels easier because you don't have as much CPU interference because it's designed for User vs. User gameplay. SIM, however, is a different type of monster and none of it is balanced well. Having SIM, COMP, and ARC tossed in the mix create a very complicated balance of difficulty, where All-Madden/SIM would essentially be most difficult, and Rookie/ARC being the easiest. It creates a bit of a mess though when the difficulties and play styles all operate differently.
