32 man league Franchise Feature

Hello,

I am a long time madden fan, playing since about 2005. I have been in a 32 man league with roughly the same people since 2015. With that being said this madden has removed a key feature for our league. 

As of now we are not able to set our coaching schemes, in order to draft players who fit our desired scheme in a simulated fantasy draft. This has always been a feature in past maddens and I am surprised with the new emphasis on franchise mode that it has been taken away. 

We currently are only able to change our playbooks before the fantasy draft, which has nothing to do with our schemes. For example if you want to be a 4-3 team but your team is the bucs who in real life are a 3-4 team, even though you choose a 4-3 playbook the fantasy draft still drafts you 3-4 players. It is not until AFTER the fantasy draft that you are unlocked the ability to set your schemes. 

We just need the ability to change our schemes before the fantasy draft, that is all. If this is going to be looked at I would love to see the player preference come back too, not sure why that was removed as well. The player preference was the screen where you could set whether your team preferred a scrambling or pocket passer QB, a runstopping DT or a pass rushing DT and so on. 

With fantasy drafts being so popular it is a shame that these 2 things have been removed. Please get them back if you can!

    I LOVE this years madden, it is very good, probably the best I have seen and played as far as gameplay. Frankly, the game looks and feels solid! The improvements made to franchise are good, and refreshing to see some attention. However, the one thing that I wish would get some extensive attention is the franchise presentation, franchise features. We need a real halftime show, with actual highlights of game, and around the league, make it exciting to know your next opponent is going to be a challenge, or that their star player made the highlight reel.  We need way better and more involved pre game, and post game action. Whether is the players on the side line hyping each other up for the game (think brian dawkins, “can you feel it” speech in a previous madden), or simply QB’s talking after the game. But actually talking where we can pick from options of what they can say (Good game, you killed it, you sucked, whatever). Maybe player interviews, maybe coach interviews (done before, in much older systems, and being done now in an other game I won’t mention). But again, actual conversation, not just reading a scripted subtitle. Franchise should feel like you’re watching and playing everything leading up to the game, from the highlights to the sideline, to the field, to the post game action is what makes every football week extremely satisfying to watch every week. Basically all the hype as a fan, and all the preparation as a player. MINICAMP, player position battles etc… OR implement skills trainer into franchise! This is a feature that is already in the game. This feature would be extremely satisfying to play in franchise. It could affect my weekly  player ratings, or fatigue. Allow this feature to be used as the weekly practice, and maybe be able to practice against the opponents offense/defense tendencies, what!! that would truly be a game changer!! and immerse players into the franchise mode. 

    Again, overall, a great game this year, absolutely love the gameplay changes. I’ve been playing this game for years. Just wish it offered more an experience in franchise mode. Right now, It gets dull quick, when all were doing is front office stuff in between weeks.Practice doesn't feel like practice, it just feels like a setting every week. Reading a list of comments from analyst about teams is extremely boring, and does not provide any sense of hype. I don't even read those things anymore, practically pointless.    

    Loyal fan and consumer 

    Thanks
