Re: madden 23 - Must be signed in to access online features

Man, I quit buying Madden games after Madden 16 mostly because EA took away the ability to control all 32 teams in Franchise mode (I used to buy every year which I still have and play them). So I thought since they're reworking Franchise mode then I would give it a shot, but sometimes I like to or NEED to play OFFLINE (hey, that bill can be hefty OK); since Madden has single player modes, why can't I play and save offline? Since the football season only lasts 6 months, you need something to make it relevant beyond that to justify paying $60 per game, or else I'll just keep playing your older titles that allow me to save and play offline. Hell, I can change the rosters on those myself and have a better all-around relevant game than what you put out. Sure I can't play pvp online, but for that price tag I'll just play pvp on ANY other game that has more encompassing gameplay, unless you fix all of these bugs within this title. I'm still trying to figure out how my level 5 LB got switched to a level 1 QB in Face of the Franchise when I stumbled across all of these other issues (I should have done better research and waited until the price went down after you fixed some of the problems, but is that really how you want the gaming market to react to your games?). OK, rant over.

    You can still control all 32 teams in franchise mode. Before buying madden 23, the last Madden I bought was '18, and you could do it then too, and I'm doing so now with '23. And I play OFFLINE as well. It's a bit of a timely process to do. I'm on PS5. At the main menu IN franchise mode(not the main menu of the game), where you have the list of Manage Team, Manage Roster, Play next game, etc. Press the big center button(above the PS button), this initially takes you to the song list. In the upper left-hand corner you'll see "EA MUSIC" is highlighted. Next to that you'll see "CHARACTERS." Press R1 to highlight that. Select that. It should bring you to the team-select menu(like when you first picked your primary team when you first started your franchise). Select a team and decide whether to control that team as a coach or owner. You have to repeat this for each and every team. There's no quick option of "press this button for all teams" like in other sports game, that's why it takes some time. But it can be done. Hope this helps.
