One thing I’d personally enjoy for franchise is being able to create our own ability load out presets, it takes forever to change them when it could be instant, or if that’s too much at least a favoriting thing. Another thing would be is changing the coaches a little bit, maybe turn down the amount of abilities you can have on your head coach for example 6- 4 gaining one every ten levels but every coach has 4 abilities so that the OC and DC have more use in game and it’s relatively balanced, with an off or on button for online franchises. The last thing I would like to see in the next game is them re-adding the both equip option on the shoes, the shoes are hard to tell from one another sometimes and having to look for them with the plethora of options is time consuming.

lv6lja8nhawi I can see why quality-of-life stuff like faster ability setup, better coach balance, and even something as simple as easier gear selection would matter a lot in Franchise when you’re spending so much time in those menus and setups. A lot of that really comes back to making the mode feel smoother and less like you’re fighting the interface just to get things where you want them.

The coach point is a good one, too, because when different staff roles feel more meaningful, it adds a lot to the mode without changing what people already enjoy about it. And the shoe equipment point is easy to understand as well. Once there are that many options in the game, having a cleaner way to manage them just makes the whole experience better. Socks, Shoes, Pads, you name it, are massive call-outs in the community. One of the top things I have listed as a change or a want.
