Bring back Create-A-Team!
Video games are an escape from reality. Almost every other major sports league has creativity and customization options in their games that are lightyears ahead of the past 10+ years of Madden combin...
Yeah I think a lot of the “face lifts” that they’ve given to the game are a step in the right direction, but frankly feel like such a missed opportunity to add little nuances to make it even better.
The Yard and Superstar KO are a big plus in my opinion. It almost feels kinda like a modern day version of what made the old NFL Street games back in the day so much fun. Those modes are kind of an “Arcade Mode”, which I get. No need to spend a bunch of time making it a hyper-immersive experience.
But man….I feel like the team at EA could do so, SO much better making the modes that are intended to be immersive so much better. I get that Ultimate Team is what helps them inflate their bottom dollar. This is America. I’m all about capitalism lol.
But I feel like allocating just a little bit of time and resources to make the totality of the Madden product outside of Ultimate Team with other features that allow the player to let loose their creativity (CREATE A TEAM) and other aspects that make you feel more immersed through modes like Franchise, Face of the Franchise, etc. can easily be done without affecting their bottom dollar. There are going to be die-hards of Ultimate Team regardless. That’s not gonna change. Why not use some of that revenue to improve the totality of the Madden product? 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, having a couple pol part of that team who fully cared and were invested into franchise would be nice. As u said, MUT is their bottom dollar, but personally not my thing. If they could take like even 2 ppl to focus just on franchise, I think it could do wonders for the mode.
