Madden 27 Franchise Needs to revamp generated face system (Not More Presets)

Biggest immersion breaker for Franchise now - generated draft faces. Right now we still get 21-year-old rookies who look 38, repeated preset faces across draft classes, heavy beard shading that ages players instantly, and identical silhouettes across positions, which makes long-term franchises feel full of clones. No matter how deep contracts, coaching systems, or presentation get, it doesn’t matter if the future face of your franchise looks unrealistic and generic. EA College Football already models youthful 18–22 year old players with better facial variety, and Superstar mode has a deeper face editor, so the tech foundation clearly exists within EA’s ecosystem. Franchise players aren’t asking for just 30 more presets — we’re asking for age-aware rookie faces, youth-specific facial structures, smarter generation logic with no duplicate faces per draft class, better skin and beard scaling by age, more body diversity tied to position, and the ability to edit generated rookies more meaningfully so the community can build immersive draft classes. If Madden truly wants to elevate Franchise mode, player identity has to be treated as a core pillar, not cosmetic padding, because without believable players the league never feels authentic.
