Player Option in Franchise Mode

Question

Dear Madden NFL Development Team,&nbsp;I’ve been a loyal Madden player for years, and one of the most enjoyable features for me has always been the ability to play Franchise as a single player through “Player Mode.”&nbsp;In Madden 26, I was disappointed to find that Franchise Mode is now coach-only, with no option to lock into a player for an entire career. This change removes a unique and immersive way to experience the game, and it has significantly impacted how much I enjoy playing.&nbsp;I’m respectfully asking that you consider restoring Player Mode as an optional setting in a future update for Madden 26, or at least confirm that it will return in Madden 27. Even if resources are focused on Coach Mode, simply giving players the choice to experience Franchise as a player would make a huge difference.&nbsp;Thank you for your time, and for all the work you put into the Madden series each year.

I agree and it would be so easy to just add it back. They took it out last year and I believe I played the game twice due to this reason.&nbsp;

I dont know why they removed it it was the best part about playing franchise with other people. i bought 26 because i saw a article saying it was coming back (its the reason i didnt buy 25) and then bought this and its not there the game is good just i wish i could play it the way i want to rather then them removing all the good things&nbsp;

Removing simple game modes, to force playing the lamest game mode they have ever made, is beyond stupid from EA.

Don't hold your breath. They pay no attention to this forum.

I second this. This is very enjoyable in the FC games and I loved this part of old school madden.&nbsp;
