    The Franchise additions in Madden 26 are a step forward in coach customization, but the off-season still feels lifeless. Give us dramatic free agency moments, immersive draft-day coverage, dynamic player stories, and real GM mechanics. Franchise Mode should feel like running an actual NFL team.

    Nice if we'd ever get CPU -> CPU trades on draft day. Literally no excitement when only the user trades up and down. The CPU should be able to jump me for a QB or if they have a player high on their board making me need to pivot.

  • @syrrop
    @syrrop 7 months ago +5

    So many simple things that could take franchise to the next level:
    - Real assistant coaches with real faces: give us the option to hire the next up and coming coordinator and not have them be a generic fake person. All you would have to do is scan the coaches when you scan players.
    - Dynamic relationships with players and player agents: more impact of morale, star players requesting trades, contract holdouts, options to renegotiate contracts during season more than a restructure.
    - Real player faces across the board: with AI, we should be able to get at least basic detail on all players given how much footage/images there are of players. It is crazy that there are Pro Bowl players with fake faces.
    - Crowds change as success of the team changes: more intensity for rival games.
    - More trades by CPU teams during draft and season.

Im sure if u have played lots of Games in Franchise especially with teams that are known to have snowy winters than im sure u can agree that there is a lack of snow or even rain games in Madden . They just need to give us the option to change weather prior to a game if we want. As long as its winter n snows there , then we should be able to just change it

      It’s the frostbite engine, they’ve been using it since 2017 and it’s extremely poor for sports titles.
      The only problem is they make too much money off of ultimate team to really care about it.
      I see it from their perspective, honestly. They know people will buy it regardless so why change anything?
      Terrible for the consumer, but it’s been that way for a while now.

      @Gam3rKev 7 months ago +17

      Exactly, creating a dynasty is not just coaching lol. Where is the stadium editor, where is the practice/training facilities editor, what about relocating your team and completely rebranding? Maddens been around since the late 90s, at this point we should’ve been able to create an expansion team from the ground up. But no, we’re just now being able to put Jordan’s on our coach which we’ll never even be able to see because we can’t even walk around on the sidelines as the coach during the game. Lol this game is a complete joke.

    Ridiculous - it's 2025 and the only contract options are still signing bonuses and simple year over year increases - no void years, no guaranteed deals were you can avoid signing bonuses - just doing contracts like it was taken from the 1999 version of Madden. Ridiculous. But thank you so much for letting me pick the color of the shoes my coach wears, that's what I really wanted. I've been playing Madden since it first came out on the PC in 1988, I still have the copy, I used to buy it every single year until a few years ago because the franchise mode was so broken and outdated, and years and years later, it's still broken, and this will be another year I skip it.

      That’s what I’ve done since madden 16, it hurts a lot less to just uninstall the game knowing you didn’t spend 70 bucks.
      I play for a few hours every year, get bored, and uninstall like clockwork.
      Until they put in actual effort or get some competition I’m not wasting another dime on this franchise.

    Considering how you’ve been ignoring impactful updates to this mode for well over a decade, you’re going to have to do more than parade a sub 5 min video as a “deep dive”. We’re expecting, at least, a 15/20 min video showing impactful features that make the gameplay more enjoyable, sustainable, replay-able, and not feel like you accomplished everything after the first 1-4 seasons. Also, PLEASE, get more stadium options for relocation and change the x’s & o’s field wall padding. If I’m the commanders and upgrade my stadium, keep the same field wall padding and incorporate it to the new stadium. Don’t change it to the plain X’s and O’s formations but in my team’s colors. Provide more than 5 options for created teams to customize theirs field wall paddings as well.

      We still have to get a madden ultimate team and presentation deep dive. So technically 2 more to go

      I think they're trying to give us as much information as they can - as early as possible to gain more pre-orders. That’s strategically driven for sure

      ​@crazycorn5643 Why would there be an ultimate team deep dive? I thought that would be the only mode that's actually the same as the last year's game
