Community Manager@EA_Blueberry You & the team should watch this. It’s how the entire community feels. Y’all had precision passing back in madden 10 & tackle battles back in 2017. You just take it out say you revamp it & it’s all the same. For real though just watch the YouTube clip but y’all won’t because y’all are all about making those micro transactions. Can’t wait til 2k gets back into this. This half hearted stuff is getting old. No one even makes an effort anymore & it’s sad. I for one will not be buying this anymore til y’all do something different.

Plus on top of it y’all said you’ve listen to the community hahaha right. There have been a lot of people ask about superstar mode to be brought back but now it’s some stupid “hey you gotta prove it on a 1 year deal. Instead of what it use to be. Who wants to go into year 5 on a prove it deal? Nobody. Madden 20 had it going in the right direction then upper management probably put there 2 cents in & now it’s you not even getting to play your full career. Nobody wants that crap. I’d rather do the combine have a chance to be drafted high then have some storylines…..no damn cap on your attributes realistic contracts other than these stupid 3 yr half assed deals……sweet geezus madden 23 is actually a combination of stuff they took out years ago.

I want to let you know I'm watching Angry Joe's video right now. I removed the link though as this video is not appropriate to share on the forums because of the vulgar language that is not suited for younger audiences. We'll make sure the Community team is aware of the sentiment seen from the players commenting on that video. I think that is where most of the value will come out of the video as fans who play the game will comment below with their thoughts. I do not know whether he actively plays the game each year but he isn't on my radar as someone that immediately comes to mind that represents the Madden community. That doesn't mean he doesn't have valid points but so far his theory is the game is regurgitated and speculating on things about the game he hasn't been able to confirm from a hands on gameplay perspective. I've been playing the Closed Beta myself and immediately noticed significant changes from the FieldSENSE system. Hopefully his thoughts on the gameplay when the game is released will change his viewpoint on how we are honoring John Madden this year.
What I can tell you from a fan that has played the game for over 20+ years and someone that watches NFL games every Sunday with the NFL Sunday Ticket...I'm very excited for this season of Madden for the limited amount time I've had so far with it.

Playing your own career from the start has always been available if you create the player under the creation center to upload to a roster for a new Franchise to develop them. You just won't live out the storyline and cinematics. The Face of the Franchise stories have all been different each year where you're thrusted into an NFL experience. Maybe the future College game will feature the career mode you're interested in so it doesn't feel like a duplicate feature when compared to Madden NFL 23. I don't really mind the 5th year scenario because this is something you actually see in the real NFL. Players are at a crossing point in their career where their career might have not started off the way they wanted and still have plenty to prove. I haven't seen any feedback on these forums about the 5th year scenario and how others wouldn't want to be dumped in that situation. It's great to hear feedback from Face of the Franchise fans though as I don't see it often when compared to MUT and Franchise mode in general. Glad to hear it's a mode in the game that you are passionate about.
