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!!!"Desync/Picker Interaction (Causing LEs) on Loveseats/Sofas
Sims are unable to sit at sofas/loveseats as the "sit" interaction is no longer available and upon clicking on the sofa/loveseat, the game generates a LE, every time. Sometimes it reads as a desync, sometimes it reads as a picker interaction. My save was modded but mods have since been removed to test. This has not been happening on newly generated saves and is only affecting my pre Dec 2nd update saves. I've selected multiple chairs to generate the LE a few times, see below: Edit By crinrict: Added Spoiler TagsNfs Heat
Kupiłem na Steamie NFS Heat około miesiąca temu. Zainstalowałem grę jakieś 3 tygodnie temu i dziś chciałem uruchomić ją po raz pierwszy. Uruchomiłem ją przez Steam i wyskoczyło okno EA App. Zacząłem instalację i przy logowaniu okazało się, że miałem stare konto EA – przez pomyłkę kliknąłem „połącz konta”. Kiedy zmieniłem maila na starym koncie i założyłem nowe konto na adres, na którym wcześniej było to stare, coś przestało działać. Próbowałem odinstalowywać EA App oraz samą grę, restartować komputer i zmieniać konta, ale nic nie pomogło. Cały czas przy próbie uruchomienia gry przez Steam wyskakuje okienko EA App „Przygotowywanie gry”, wyświetla się przez około 10 sekund, po czym znika, a Steam zaczyna walidację plików. Kiedy skończy, wszystko zaczyna się od nowa i znowu widzę przycisk „Graj" Prosze o pomoc
Cant use cheats
I know how to open the text box for the cheats. I know what to type in to turn the cheats on, but every time I open the text box the cursor is there and blinking in the box but when I type- nothing shows up. I have a PC laptop. Please help! I don't have any mods or anything like that.Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element
I've had this bug happening a few times in different locations (home, Netherworld HeadQuarters and the most recent at the Spicy Festival) after planning some interactions for the sim. The last was with the Spice festival. I got this error message (with thanks to the Better Exceptions Mod by Twisted Mexi, the only mod installed in the game) Exception in Sim Timeline: Exception running Element (AttributeError: 'JoinSituationElement' object has no attribute 'situation_type') I closed the game last night after getting that error. And upon opening the game this morning again I got the error immediately, I assume because the Sim was still in the same situation. I've played this particular save always without mods because I specifically only made it for the events and I wanted to make sure nothing would influence the events in one way or another. The only mod that is installed is the Better Exceptions mod from Twisted Mexi. What I was trying to do: - Planned some interactions for my sim to talk to the stall vendors - What I expected would happen: just normal execution of the tasks - What happened: --> Without the mod: the game would start to lag and then hang and I couldn't even get the game to close. I had to force close it through the task manager by ending bu several times ending the task (the task would pop back up several times in the task manager before it remained ended) --> With the Better Exceptions mod: I got the BE Warning and the report. I closed the game after that without a hitch. but.... I can't play this particular save file anymore until the bug gets resolved because now it pops-up immediately when I resume the game and my Sim and the world are loaded. More information from the Better Exceptions report: Possible Cause (Confidence: 10%) interaction_elements I have added the saves files from last night's session and from this morning and the Better Exceptions report to the attached zip-file. I hope that helps in finding out what's wrong. I don't know if this influences it: I have the base game through the Epic Games store, while I have my packs and kits all through the EA App. I play on Windows 11 Home Edition on my laptop. Tech data about my laptop: Device name ***** Processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with Radeon Graphics (3.30 GHz) Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable) Device ID A51EF246-E345-45A0-9231-8416C83DAD18 Product ID 00326-10000-00000-AA798 System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display Edition Windows 11 Home Version 24H2 Installed on 24/05/2025 (Latest update: 2025-06 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5060829) from June 29) OS build 26100.4484 Serial number PF2XRZ8G Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.26100.128.0 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX3080 Thanks for the help!

[CD] [AA] Dogs use playground/diving board and become distorted
OK umm I just wanted to describe a bug I noticed. I put up a play ground for my minisims (kids) pretty impressive 🧐 but the thing is my dogs don't seem to think it's a Sim toy but a Dog toy, they go up the stairs and the ramps. They go through the tunnel and down both slides the regular one and the snake one. It's very disturbing to watch. It reminds me of an old cc or mod from Sims3. some piece of clothing that deformed sims, that was a mess, my message not to use them lol. well that's it, check it out please, see what you think and have a good laugh 😄 nelejake. P.S. I had a really great video but couldn't get it down to 75mg 💀 I tried several ways but was unable to attach it here sorry,if you want to see the video tell me how to get it to you. And by the way, since when did dogs start diving into the pool? I love that Edit By crinrict: Added Tag to Title, Adjusted TitleEpic Strategy Items turned into “Quicksell Tim”?
Bought two epic strategy items from the auction house, QB Guru Deep and Lockdown. After purchasing I was not able to equip in lineup and noticed the card graphic was not displaying the attribute boosts associated with the card. The cards weren’t appearing as an option to equip in my lineup, but were visible in my binder. I was not able to equip the items from my binder either. Now, the strategy items are no longer appearing as QB Guru and Lockdown, but instead both read “Quicksell Tim” and have a generic ultimate team card graphic rather than the associated stat boosts. The cards were bought from the auction house for about 100k each, much higher than the 40k Quicksell value for what now appears to be 2 useless cards. Any fixes?
