Madden 26 Franchise Mode, No Owner Mode is a Deal Breaker

For context I've owned every Madden since '94. In other words I've been loyal despite having to do many,  many "work arounds" in order to enjoy the various iterations of franchise Mode. 

Congratulations EA! You've finally removed something that I cannot/will not work around. The removal of owner has at long last removed me from the ranks of loyal supporters. 

Year after year our plea is that we make "progress" back (is that even a thing?), progress back towards the franchise Mode in '05. Each year we drift further away.  Now this year that dream went from fading into the ether to bring snapped like Thanos was worried about his hard drive free space. 

Being a GM/Owner of an NFL franchise is somewhat possible in the mind of a franchise player.  Putting myself on the field, and physically carrying a team on my shoulders, no.  Being on the sideline, giving speeches and grinding 80 hours a week watching film, no. But using my brain and knowledge to make shrewd decisions that lead to long term success that seems within reach, (i do win a lot in fantasy). I say all this to express my love for simulation gaming and drafting, trading, hiring and firing the right personell to stack Lombardi after Lombardi. 

So bring back Owner mode immediately. I don't want to be Pete Carroll, I want to hire his successor. I don't want the AI to make terrible decisions i want to be able to create an Owner to make decisions like they would and keep my league organized. 

The demand is simple, Owner mode or face at minimum a year long war vs a vengeful lifelong customer who's last straw has officially been loaded.
