Create A Team - Is it coming back in Madden 22

Create A Team was a staple of Madden during it's peak in the early to mid 2000s. Is it coming back this year?

    There hasn't been any confirmation no what is planned for Franchise mode for Madden NFL 22 outside of what was mentioned in this post below. I've seen others request this too, we'll share it with the team. Keep an eye on our official channels for more news on Madden NFL 22 in the coming months.

    If you had create-a-team, what are the top requests you'd want for that feature?
  • I would like to create my NFL live moments with my create a team and assign touchdown celebrations for my top shelf player and teams with created prototypes.

  • I'd be happy with the exact same features, logos and customization options that exists in Madden 2004. Also no precanned relocation sites - allowing you to create a team from any city/state. It would also be good if create a team did not take the place of an existing team - when you do the create a team you just fill the team with players from the free agent pool.
  • I would like to create a team and play head to head with stick battles based on skill and preferred player positions. I think that this would be a fun addition to create a team.

  • I give it a 5% chance of it coming back. Imagine create-a-paly coming back to tho, that would be nice.

    Probably not. This is a priority issue for EA. They cannot give up the things we want because their focus is on the stuff no one asked for... ie KO Superstars and the Yard.

    I asked for those game modes. So stop with the stereotypes. I'm just being honest.

    I think the word you are looking for is "generalities" and not stereotype. Even with that said, yes, there is no doubt that *someone* asked for those modes. Of course. It is understood that there are no absolutes in this world. If I said something like "well, no one wants to pay taxes" there is no reason to be that guy who responds "well, my uncle Leroy loves paying taxes"

  • I'm sorry I responded to your post without common sense. Lol. o:)

  • Any news on this simple to add feature that should be back in the game? I don't care about pre-canned relocation options and uniforms. I want to create a team, create the uniform, put the team where i want it. you guys did it for years and then just stopped.

    No news to announce, sorry. EA PLAY LIVE is in July this year where EA showcases what we've been working on. Unless some news trickles out from the Madden NFL team prior to the event, I'd keep an eye on July 22nd for any official announcements on Madden NFL 22 from the Madden development team.

    Since it is painfully slow on the EA front, I just want to chime in. This is directly from the page that Blueberry shared.
    MADDEN NFL 22
    For Madden NFL 22 it is still very early. We are at the very beginning of the planning and pre-production of next year’s product. That said, we’ve been actively discussing some of the areas we’d like to focus on, stemming from your feedback and player engagement. Here are few of the areas, while not fully committed yet, we are exploring creatively:
    Coaching and staff management
    Scouting improvements
    New scenario engine enhancements
    New team chemistry system
    Commissioner Tools improvements
    MORE CONTENT - Examples: Relocation/Branding Assets for Franchise - New uniforms, names, and logos to relocation options for more variety and depth in deeper careers.
    Plus other key additions that we’ll reveal as we get deeper into the year for Madden NFL 22 development season.

    Coaching and Staff Management
    It's gotta be real, and impactful. Honestly, if having Duce Staley as my RB coach means a +1 in BCV, just save us all the time and just scrap the whole entire thing. What are the plans to ensure that we can actually FEEL the difference between having a strong RB coach and one who actually stinks? And how would I go about getting a great RB coach? XPs? Coaching staff budget??

    Scouting Improvements
    This is the one that I am really holding EA to. Scouting does not need an "improvement." It needs an overhaul. An "improvement" might be something dumb like "more accurate shuttle time" or something like that.

    New Scenario engine enhancements
    Let's face it... this just isn't working. Seems to merely be just another item it 'x' through. How about just having a player holdout or demand a trade?

    Team chemistry
    Seems like we tried this in the past and it didn't work

    Relocation
    Yes, yes, yes.... please please please give more options. Someone on these forums said before that the reason EA only gives you three team options in a limited number of cities is because the NFL "won't allow more." That's absolutely nonsense and makes absolutely no sense at all. So you're telling me that someone from the NFL went through a painstaking review process to determine that they are ok with, say, the London Knights, Monarchs (and I can't remember the third) but it would hurt their brand if you used that same Knights option for Columbus? Or that EA originally requested, say the Maine Marauders as team option, but again, the NFL shot it down?

    But again, it would be pretty cool to provide create-a-team options like they did seven years ago. Seems like more people asked for this than that nonsense they call the yard, but I digress.
  • I really hope they don't pawn off the canned relocation sites and uniforms as the same thing as create-a-team.
