Franchise Mode is disappointing

EA_Aljo Having played some of the trial of 26, I wanted to give some feedback. I'm quite enjoying the new changes to BAP, and while there are some more changes that I think would make it better (the...

I appreciate the response, but I guess my annoyance comes more from the fact that these changes weren't made in 25, 24, 23 etc. in the case of the multi team control and 25, 26 for coaching strategies. While I liked the changes that were made for Franchise in 25, it wasn't a huge shift or had massive amount of new features, so while it received updates, they weren't exactly anything special. If there was larger steps taken towards these asks in prior games, I don't think I'd be complaining about the lack of additions in 26. I've feel like I'm someone who has been more defensive of the games and have been less angry then most, but I think I'm getting a little tired of the waiting game I have to play with this series every year

Also just to add on, while I can believe that multi-team control could take more time to implement and might be harder then I think it is, I don't believe for a second that the same can be said about changing coaching strategies. The options are visible in game, like I can see the sliders and everything all that needs to be done is to unlock them for the player to change. I'm not a professional game designer but knowing the little I know, that really shouldn't take that much resources to make that change in one patch.

I absolutely appreciate all the feedback on this. Unfortunately, when it comes to making changes, rarely is it something as simple as someone might think. I definitely get how it's easy to make that assumption. I've been guilty of it myself. Hopefully, we'll see the kinds of changes you're looking for in future games.
