27 Madden Franchise Suggestions
I am the biggest Madden Franchise Dynasty mode fan ever. And I have been very disappointed in the lack of in depth focus off the madden franchise focus on dynasty, I miss the days of having all the authenticity of all the real coaches, off/def coordinators and special teams coaches. I think it has taken away a lot of the realism. It would be nice if you could create HC, OC, DC, ST coaches like how NBA 2K allows you to since you have limited control and realism over the made up coaches on madden now. It would be nice to be able to edit the coaching pool that you current have, such as name, looks, type of offense/defense philosophy’s and a position focus as well. i would love to see a new coaching system on madden where you can have HC, OC, OC and ST but also have position coaching who have speciality traits. So for instance if you get a HC who wants to have DC who specializes in a 3-4, he can find a DC which specializes in a 3-4 but then he can find a DL coach, LB coach that specializes in 3-4 schemes. And if you want more man coverage you can find a CB/S coach that specializes in that as well and then when you add players who fit your scheme their specialties enhance your players rating and the defenses overall chemistry . Players who don’t fit the teams overall scheme may struggle or your team chemistry on the field mighr reflect that. Players who have multiple scheme fits then become more attractive bc if you get a DC who runs multiple defenses the player is more valuable bc of multiple scheme fit. Same for offense .you should be able to have an OC, OL coach, WR TE coach, RB and OL coach, and based on the HC offensive scheme, if the OC mirrors it should affect the team chemistry. If position coaches mirror the OC type of offense or style of play, it increases team chemistry and gives the players a boost in certain attributes. they should give HC an ability to have a different structure. Traditionally OC, DC and ST or pass game coordinators/ run game coordinators and same on defense. Signing all coaches for multiple years would be good as well. If someone wants to steal your coach for a head coach position it should allowed but if you or a cpu controlled team wants to sign your coach to a lateral position you should be able to decline or accept. Trading for HC should be an option as well. They should also let you have to the ability to resign players not on contract years -vs just on their contract year. They should give you the ability to resign throughout the entire season or offseason. It would be nice to go back to signing free agents in the preseason to more than just one year. That’s not realistic- a lot of players sign for multiple year deals. Coaches and player should be asked to ask for contracts before if they have outplayed their deals or coaches should be able to offer a deal before their have a contract year. Madden has gotten very lazy in franchise mode and the realness has reduced every year and since there are no other games to compete it’s like EA /Maddeb don’t care but these are things that could really make Madden franchise mode fun again,Why can't we just get a functional game?
I highly doubt anyone will ever actually read this, but my therapist said that keeping my frustrations bottled up can lead to a plethora of other health problems, so it's important to air your grievances...even if it's in an empty chat room. Any-who... Now I'm no financial expert, or software developer, or anything even remotely related, but what I AM, is a long time gamer, who isn't difficult to please. Which is why I can't understand why myself, and the Madden community as a whole, is annually given this digital disappointment? Okay, perhaps I'm being too harsh. While I COMPLETELY understand that at the end of the day you guys are a business, who's exists for no other reason, but to make money for the investors, and the only question plaguing investors isn't "are we producing a quality product?" or "Are the customers happy and/or satisfied?". It's "Did they buy it?" and if the answer is "yes", then who cares about the rest. And more often than not, in a free market economy, that's fine because if you're unhappy with any aspect of the product, you can cease to patronize the offending company and give your money to a company that better fits your needs, values their customers, provides a superior service, or whatever. But unfortunately, when it comes to Madden, we, the customers/gamers, are not privvy to such a luxury. I believe that I speak for MANY gamers, when I say that we feel as though we are not valued, and feel almost as though we're being taunted. I find it difficult to believe that developers and decision-makers are completely oblivious to the conundrum faced by madden players world wide. "You have an issue with our game?...Don't buy it. Go purchase it from another developer...oh. That's right...you can't". So you guys know that whether we're still dealing with the same bugs from 5 iterations ago, swear we're not buying it next year, or just **bleep** and moan in an empty forum, like I'm doing now, that next year...we'll be in line, 80 bucks in hand. Which kinda feels like "diet extortion". I honestly just wish I could get a few questions answered. I think that the entire community would appreciate some level of transparency. I PROMISE you, helping us to understand why certain things are the way they are, would do wonders for us all. For instance...a common theme with players, is that we can't understand why the same bugs make their in-game appearance, year after year? Now I'm not going to sit up here and pretend to even remotely grasp the inconceivable complexities of turning zeros and one's into the game we know today, because I don't. But from talking to, interacting with, and scrubbing forums the general consensus is clear. Players care more about a playable, working title, than they do about new features. Look...I get it, you want to make it appear as though you're giving us something fresh and new...[Spoiler Alert] It never feels fresh OR new. Like some things just feel completely counterintuitive. Like why introduce ANYTHING new, with all of the stuff that needs to be fixed? Does that make sense? But this is the basis of all of our frustrations. For instance...The addition of the Sphere of Influence. I think it's great! Awesome addition, in theory...but it's broken. And not only is it broken, but the SAME quests that haven't worked in YEARS (get 3 3rd down stops/Force a fumble on a Boom Stick/Get a goal line stop) STILL don't work! No exaggeration...I've never completed all of the quests in Superstar...EVER. Because there is ALWAYS at least 1 that's impossible to trigger in game. So now not only do I have 4 Head coaches, 3 DCs, 5 S&C coaches, and teammates from long deleted profiles, forcing my current teammates to be "inactive", making them impossible to upgrade, but I still can't complete the same quests I've been unable to complete for no less than the last FIVE iterations. So instead of the Sphere of Influence adding to, and creating a more enjoyable gaming experience, it's just added new bugs to the mix, while compounding the old, creating an overall LESS enjoyable experience. And this is what's frustrating. I would rather you give me this exact game, no other additions, just updated teams and rosters, and use the time that would've been designated for "creating a more immersive experience", for creating a playable, enjoyable game. I don't think you guys understand the gravity of one year giving your loyal fan base a game we can actually play. Anyway...I've gone on far too long. I'm actually ashamed of myself for even HAVING this much to say on the topic. Jesus...is this what my life has been reduced to? 🤦🏾♂️ "Good day, sir...I SAID GOOD DAY!!!"Madden 26 Companion App - Auctions server issue
