Let Us Enjoy Franchise Mode Again — Small Fixes, Big Impact
I've been playing Madden since it was on Game Gear and all I really want is to dive into franchise mode, run multiple fantasy drafts, develop players and feel connected to the team I build. The recent gameplay improvements are appreciated but offline franchise keeps getting changed in ways that reduce the fun or fix things that weren’t broken. Offline players need stability and key fixes: the ability to choose our fantasy draft slot instead of restarting to chase a pick; improved player likeness and age-appropriate face scans especially for rookies because many generics look decades older than they should; a return to the old neutral white-trim profile photos since the new real-uniform images break immersion when drafted or rebuilt players don’t match their real teams; and full freedom in uniform customization on offline mode — unlock all combos, allow custom uniform imports and bring back practice jerseys. Please give offline franchise the same care as online and stop changing what already worked. We just want a smooth, authentic football game that looks right, feels immersive and lets us play our way.
