i'm not buying madden 21 if it doesn't have a coaching carousel in franchise mode, i'm still playing madden19 to this day because there is no coaching carousel in madden 20, so come on EA, lest's get this done. it's been to long not to have this.
Good for you for not buying Madden 20. More people need to not pay for it if they can show restraint. Unfortunately I also make a living off of Madden so I need to walk a fine line of playing the game and being critical of it.
it's were you have a offensive and a defensive coach to help your head coach game plan for the game you are playing, just like in the real NFL, it might not be the head coaches fault that you are loosing the game, it could be that your offensive and you defensive coaches are not executing the game plan that your head coach set. therefor you can fire them and hire new ones. to better explain this go check out the game ncaa football 14 .
@@ThatFranchiseGuy I also am playing Madden 19 still. I even seen Madden 20 discounted for $35.99 in the PlayStation store and I'M STILL NOT buying it. Nope nope nope.
We can't fully upgrade our players but it's a single player mode it's not like we are playing against other people unless you create a league and play with your friends which I don't do I just want to play with my created player get him drafted have an actual Career mode and feel like I'm an NFL player I want endorsements I want custom cleats I want tattoos stuff like that like we used to have in previous games
We need a better career mode as well it makes no sense whatsoever that we don't have better career modes than previous games don't even get me started on the archetypes system it makes no sense that we get the same upgrade for attributes that are already maxed out instead of being able to upgrade your own attributes if I play with a player I create I should have full control of how I create my players from his accessories to his attributes and his special skills I shouldn't have to create an offline save to give my wide receiver aggressive catch and stuff like that I can't give my corner back the big hit ability without having to make an offline player it makes no sense can't equipment the feet in bounds trait because they completely removed it for custom wide receiver players we don't have no individual team workouts no 40 yard dash no bench press no agents no mansion no IQ test we don't have anything that gives franchise or career mode any replayability whatsoever cant' pick my parents to determine my attributes the archetypes system is trash it's so many things they can add the system is trash
@@thecreeper00ify it's like yeah I can have a better career mode than Tom Brady win more Superbowls more MVPs and stuff like that but all I get is an achievement they don't mention your accomplishments in the commentary they just say this guy was NFC player of the week like that's really not a big deal or if you get drafted in the first round this guy was a first round pick blah blah blah blah blah blah 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️the commentators just repeat the same thing over and over again
FOR REAL. I like to sim 10 years forward and then play like that so it sucks when I have to spend a ton of time not only editing players and teams (because their overalls drop to the 60s and players look weird), but I have to do some stat tracking on my own that the game should be doing for me
@@wiserise1393 they really just need to copy 2K in everything. Scouting offseasons stat tracking hell even the single player with the story is better in 2K
I agree with you here! ultimate team is trash, get rid of it and make franchise mode and mycareer BETTER also presentation!, thats what ppl by the game for. imagine in mycareer if they did an online community and you can go to the park and do pick up games of 7v7!! thatll be dope!
They should make MUT its own free game and do it as a live service game like Fortnite for those people that like it for some unknown reason, then make the actual game be priced and work to improve it
And also just have more than just 2 uniform combinations. It gets boring having to wear the same jerseys for every game. Also a couple more cities and more stadiums to choose from would be nice. Or just be like 2K and give us the opportunity to create our own teams.
the "retirement" logic in franchise mode needs to be improved... the logic should depend on team performance, contract status, that players performance in regards to team performance... also there should be a notification letting you know a player is "considering" retirement JUST A THOUGHT
I actually got one from Antonio gates said he had a great career but wanted to get a ring, in the end I lost by a TD and he retired but that was kind of cool. Side note also same season Fitzgerald retired but didn't say shit
@@silveripodx7 right, I had one notification for Bobby Wagner, but no one else.. if that you are playing franchise mode, even if they are not a "superstar", as long as they are a "starter" on the team, notifications for retirement consideration should pop up
Gabriel Rodriguez true at least for my GM and my league mode because it’s perfect to me in 2k and way easier imo than madden especially for a new player that mode in 2k has so many things and it’s very deep but 2k players undermine that mode a lot very underrated when there is so many things you can do
The old drills you could do for players on your team to make them better were some of the best features they had. Doing training camp drills for my QB and etc was so much fun
It’s so sad how low expectations are for a madden franchise while NBA 2K has the most in depth franchise (my league) mode I’ve ever seen and people still complain that it sucks.
Ik I'm late in this and while my league has a lot to it it's pretty surface level. A lot of the stuff is broken but the core mechanics of 2k my league are even more broken then Madden's.
Say what you will about 2K but MyLeague is leaps and bounds ahead of Madden. Hell even the NHL 20 (an EA game with a much smaller budget than Madden) has a better franchise mode
Here's a really easy one that is always ignored. Give teams their draft picks back when doing a fantasy draft. Others that shouldn't take a ton of effort: -Fix RB sim stats to change with OL quality -Draft class quality slider -An option to show random plays from playbook in games (I'm lazy, I don't want to look around to find more unique plays) -Retirement List -Better team records/yearly stats -Extending players at any time (Especially to restructure contracts to free cap) -Custom Fantasy Draft Order -See all previously picked players in amateur draft and fantasy draft Would really like to be able to sub players by a % of snaps.
One thing I hope they change is that they change the field goal HOLDER from the backup QB to the punter. Sounds like I’m nitpicking but that has never made sense to me lol.
*EA doesn’t want to produce the “Perfect Franchise” because then a quarter of the players won’t continue to purchase it every single year* , they’ll just keep file-share updating the rosters and draft classes (as some already do)
we should be able to see past seasons wins and losses. Even the playoffs for those years. I never remember who wins a super bowl and I feel like we should be able to
X X either you’re a little ass kid and never played the og maddens or you’re just being an idiot. But there used to be actual teams in the game that were brought into madden to pay tribute to their excellence. Such as the 85 bears
This is imo the most important gameplay feature that no one talks about. Even escape artist doesn’t always make it a guarantee that you can outrun like fucking fletcher cox
I think that a trade finder would be a really cool addition to the game. I know it’s something that isn’t as important as other things however I think that it would be useful to shop your players that way or find out how much other teams value their own players. Also I can’t imagine it’d be very hard to implement.
@@gerrick5803 yeah they gotta change all that n go more in depth with players archetypes so it strongly reflects their real life play style and effects how they are used in games both user and sim. Especially defense to me certain players need more unique archetypes and abilities for guys like derwin james who bbn is used in 4 to 5 position alignments a game n yet hes just a ss with archetypes of either zone hybrid or run stopper or something? Like seriously a joke I can't even comevvlose to truly utilizing a player like that correctly with depth charts that only allow u to start players in the traditional "base defense" with a fs and ss when chargers use 3 safteys most of time n up to seven dbs when using king in slot. Their should be more starting depth chart setups based on team and scheme n custom personnel u can modify for each position like switching out a lb position to use a db as example
I would love an upgraded presentation, like use the real life presentations, like cbs,fox,nbc,ESPN,nfl network. Just would love this feature if it got into the game but my most wanted feature is definitely a coaching carousel. Also I would love the ability to edit jerseys and football stadiums, so that we could play college football in franchise mode, even put the custom jerseys and stadiums on the community creations and import it into franchise mode like nba 2k does.
I also would like that and make it deeper let me have position coached as well (like nfl head coach) let each mode feel like that mode, being an owner should not feel like a head coach, and in career mode let the coach call the plays, if your the QB or defensive captain you can call audibles of course but be more realistic let the coach be a coach, have scenario's in which u don't agree with the coaches, be able to ask for a Trade more year or the team trades you if u ain't performing
Let's get classic teams like in 2K. Like c'mon it makes too much sense! Imagine using the '07 Patriots vs 78' Steelers, 91' Cowboys vs 13' Seahawks etc etc.
Be ability to switch from out door practice field to a indoor field and during super they should have a other practice field that get hype up when playing super bowl and bringing the ultimate stadium to franchise mode on to start dumb ultimate team on play who is a nfl play they have their own custom jerseys weird color. Noob nfl I not buy madden if it does not come out on switch lol
I just played my NCAA 14 on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's AMAZING how different teams play from week to week. One week I'm playing a spread team that's runs 4 and 5 WR's no huddle air raid Offense, then the next week I'm playing a team that runs a shotgun 2 RB power/Option scheme, then the next week I'm playing a HEAVY WR/RB screen team. It's wonderful. EA needs to overhaul Defensive philosophies as well. There are certain coordinators in the NFL that believe in running man coverage 60-70%(Steve Spagnolo, Wade Phillips, Bill Belichick) then there are certain coordinators who believe in more zone (Keith Butler in Pittsburgh, Rod Marrinelli, Matt Ebeflous in Indy) then there are some coordinators who run a little bit of both man coverage and zone coverage combo (Shaleh out in San Fran, Vic Fangio in Denver, Ron Rivera, McDermott out in Buffalo) Then you have your super AGGRESSIVE coordinators who like to blitz 40-50% of the time (Martindale out in Baltimore, Gregg Williams in NY) I want to feel like I'm playing different teams from week to week. I still feel like I'm playing the same TYPES of team's with the same TYPES OF schemes week to week.
Eric Thomas Facts.... that and just make simulation/ simulation stats more realistic.... ain’t no way Lamar is only rushing for 120 in a season and 15 to 20 sometimes lower per game.... both those things need to be fixed
This is a great vid (again) but I gotta say, I think you missed the same huge issue that EA misses with franchise. Basically, Madden Franchise is still a single season game. The dates change, superbowl numbers go up, some stats accumulate but really one season is not affected by the season before. Having a great season doesn't change players' willingness to sign with you. Going to three SBs in a row doesn't change commentary or even register in the scenario engine. Hell, you can't even tell what other teams a FA has played for when you sign them. The very least they could do is add teams to a player's stats when you look at their career stats. When a player has been with your team for 10 years as a star retires it's in silence. Why? Because the franchise mode of Madden isn't Season on season. It's season + a bit.
This aggravates me as well. It doesn't feel like each career mode is unique with it's own timeline starting from my first season; it feels like one season happens, then the next season starts different and more stuff happens, then on and on. No mention that X player is a three time MVP, no mention that X teams have a played against each other in the Super Bowl a couple years ago, no mention of revenge games or even a calendar to see holidays. The only "on-pace" records are career-wise and you could have the most pass TDs in a single season but they'll forget after that very season. Milestones feel hollow, like you said retirements are quiet and social ties between players/coaches is nonexistent.
Navon Myhand facts! I remember I was the Packers and Ravens getting to the SB two years in a row and it didn’t even feel legit or immersive. No mention of how this is a rematch of last year’s game nothing like that at all
Free Agency is not good at all. Especially in online leagues you can just increase your offer last second. Also in re-sign period a player should not just go to free agency after one failed re-sign try, but there should be at least 2 or 3 phases of "hey, I want more guaranteed money or reduce the contract length" and so on.
Zachary Rogers it’s also extremely unrealistic. You don’t get faster as you age. Maybe stronger but nobody goes from running a 4.5 WHEN THEY TRAIN FOR IT to running a 4.35 while training for games.
You know what’s crazy. In Madden 17 there’s this glitch in Franchise mode where if late in preseason a player who is over 30 gets released sometimes this thing happens where they almost get deleted from the game. Even if they have a hall of fame legacy score it won’t matter- they’ll just have disappeared and all traces of there existence will be gone. Can’t find them in legacy or in free agency or on any roster, and if you look in transactions it’ll just say they got released. Weird glitch. It’s in Madden 20 too. I just think it’s crazy that a multi-billion dollar organization could ever have a glitch that hasn’t been fixed in four years.
Coaching carousel: how is this not a thing yet Actual coaching staff: older maddens had this so how does your olden projects have this feature but your more powerful and higher budget games do not An actual legit halftime show, post game show and pre game show: literally EA has such half assed this for about a decade now Coherent NFL drafting: a team shouldn’t be drafting a High pick on a QB or RB when they legit did that a year ago Position pre-season battles!!!: again you had this before and got rid of it for no reason and got rid of a degree of immersion PRESENTATION/DETAILS: if a QB is throwing a 3 pick game show his frustration on the sideline A defense giving up unholy stats/points? Show it Realistic reactions of injuries and not just some hogwash cutscene (ya know who had this yep ya guessed it 2k) Again the gameplay is fine (still some hiccups) again it’s the immersion which is what NCAA always had over NFL games so who ever use to make the NCAA games take that team so they can replace the assclowns making the NFL game
They actually can't add realistic injury cutscenes. As usual, the NFL was butt hurt and threatened to cancel EA's license if they didn't agree to their terms, which included ridding the game of serious injuries (concussions, broken necks/backs), and cutscenes that include a stretcher or ambulance...
They home field advantage could be something like NCAA 14 where on 3rd down ur plays shakes when u we’re away. This was an EA game so it shouldn’t be hard.
Things I’d like to see added: -Retirement list (much like 2k has) -Coaching carousel (NCAA 14) -The ability to restructure contracts would be huge -Fix the stats for a RB in comparison to how good their OL actually is -History: The ability to look back at past seasons and see how well a team did or look at players history, who won the Super Bowl the previous year of the franchise etc. -The ability to request a trade when controlling your own player in a MyCareer: If you’re a 99 overall and you’re stuck on a team that’s 0-5 you would request a trade, why can’t you? -Lastly the ability to tone down CB being so OP in MyPlayer... I had 75 interceptions in one season
Why can’t there be a mode like face of the franchise (but a lot better) where you choose a position play a year in collage and that decides your overall and draft stock you get drafted and play like why can’t this be in the game
That’s what I’ve always wanted. That and the ability to be traded by the team randomly like it happens in real life or to be able to request a trade mid season like you can in 2k
Wouldn't normally bother but it changes a lot of what I was trying to get across... I misspoke at 3:55, said "company" when i meant to say "community". Thanks!
Something i'd love to see, as a player who loves to do at least one relocation franchise each year, is a change in locations. I'm sure it wouldn't matter to a large amount of players. Keep the international locations available, but as far as US locations, change them up each year, even if it's not all of them, add 4-5 new ones each year to expand it or replace 4-5 of the other ones. The other thing i'd love to see with relocation is more individual stadium designs. Rather than just having random words on the barricades arounda the field, put up photos of the logo and make each one unique. If you want to get really fancy, add a feature where when we relocate or build a new field, we can choose to create/edit thigns such as the designs on the wall around the field, the end zones, and the logo in the middle of the field.
the ONLY feature i need is full slider customization. we can edit like 20 sliders while Nhl 20 can edit over 100. 2k might even have 200. stuff like CPU short medium deep throw tendency, fumble rate on small med big hits, CPU blockshedding rate, etc. these things are programmed into the game but we cant adjust them to our liking. i play against nick foles and his stat line is 27-30 3ints, 296 yards, and 4tds. i just want CPU qbs to miss throws with out it effecting their decision making
I wish they would just add come cool stuff. I thought of one called situations, where you could practice offense and defense in a two minute drill or third downs to see what plays you like to run in those situations, you could also add like post game interviews that could change morale for a player or position groups depending on the answer. People may say these things are minor and not necessary but literally all you do in franchise is training, play, upgrade, advance week. There should be waaaaaay more to do
If anyone remembers the Madden 12 franchise mode, i think that free agency would be cool to have back, and some other things to add back that are not franchise related would be “create a superstar” and to fix that mode. it would be great to have a bit of a actual good story for more than 1 position, being able to do the combine, requesting a trade, becoming rivals or friends with different players on your team or other teams, being able to be a Line man on offense, high school and college backstory’s and the ability to play through high school and college, actually being drafted to a random team if you wanted to. If you are needed to be resigned by a team you should be able to make an offer back and the money you earn can maybe be used to buy things for morale like houses, cars, accessories, etc. Another thing about playing as a coach instead of a player that would be cool is if you can pick a play and see the computers play instead of playing yourself. i personally dont like playing as a whole team and this feature could make being a coach more fun for people like me. I feel like ultimate team completely ruins madden since it is the main focus of EA. They shouldnt spend all their time on that and fix everything else thats needed. If i dont like ultimate team and like everything else that never gets updated, then i will get bored of the game modes and then the whole game. In conclusion, EA FIX YOUR GAME.
Lambeau Leap? Customize Team Uniforms & Name In Relocation! Custom Stadium Build! Refs! Conference Trophy Ceremony? Coaching Carousel? Practice Uniforms? Mouthpieces? Custom Celebrations Like FIFA? The List Goes On!
Honestly I don’t even care about uploading my own logos or editing others. Just do what NHL does and have a large amount of pre-approved logos that we could choose from and be able to make our own colors and customize a stadium. It really isnt that hard if they don’t want people making “inappropriate” logos and uniforms then just give us a large amount of presets to choose from that are not limited to 3 teams in a city like it currently is.
Apparently the NFL revoked EA's privileges of putting in custom teams "because people were botching NFL teams", they used the example of "we don't like that people are putting the Raiders logo on a hot pink helmet". Team owners bitch until EA removes a lot of features as well. Apparently the Jags owner threw a bitch fit because the stadium wasn't packed in the games.
@@score1909 EA does suck and they are lazy, but the NFL asks them to remove a lot of features. I can't remember the video name but I saw a video on here with a list of shit the NFL demanded was removed.
great video. the only thing i would add is that the career stats need to show what team a player played for and it needs to show what team drafted that player too.
@@user-hg4hz1lx2h when they said it's "non simulation game", it doesn't mean that the game is going to be an arcade cartoon, it does not necessarily have to be like a real professional football experience, for instance, they're adding a 7 on 7 street mode like NFL street but with real life players and real life teams, if it's a cartoon based game like 2K playground then nobody will buy it. 🤷🏽♂️
I mean I have been playing random QBs and I was on my second year with one and I demanded release AND NO ONE PICKED ME UP I WAS DANG MVP and forced me to retire and it annoyed me so much.
Same. Not even a option to negotiate a contract. Won 2 SBs and MVPs, 10,000+ yards, 100+ TDs in two seasons. And to top it off, the retirement prompt had the nerve to tell me nobody in my city (couldn’t even program it to say Denver) would ever remember me. I set the season record in TDs and yards back to back years. EA is a fucking joke
I think they should emulate what 2k does once you get to the league. You should be able to not only simulate the career of your player but their life. Customize your house. Interact with media. Interact with other players and get to play with them in online games. And one last thing. We should be able to choose what position we play, including oline, punter kicker etc because you never know who wants to play what.
Agree with everything you said in this video. This is 30-40 years away probably but I’d love to see the game move from being so animation based to more physics based. I shouldn’t be able to tell that a field goal is about to get blocked before the kicker takes a step. Or when you aggressive catch and you get tackled and relaunched into the air because a new animation started. And maybe this just happens to me but I think its weird the way players run if you change their position. I changed a safety to a linebacker and his running animation became much more robotic and seemed slower despite having the same speed rating.
I remember hearing about that game and thinking the trailer looked good, never got around to playing it though. I wish the ideas behind the physics in that game were expanded on for madden since it’s the only option we have.
Vesone I played that game and still own it. It’s a unique experience. Soft drink sports, or whoever Marcus mentions in the video did a video about it recently
Needs: FOCUS ON FRANCHISE 1. Contract customization 2. Stop scripting plays. Create AI that learns how you play, not just randomly scripting a play to be stopped before it even starts 3. Interactive halftime shows that seem more like a broadcast, not a cutaway. 4. Customizable stadiums 5. Create a play, or even playbook 6. Fix these 80 speed linebackers from magically running faster than my 95 speed wide receivers 7. Progressive commentary. I don’t wanna just hear about how I played last week. No one plays franchise for one season. I wanna hear how I played last season, two seasons ago, even five seasons ago. 8. More injury outcomes. What happened to a player getting the air knocked out of them or career ending injuries? It’s annoying to see the same five injuries repeated 9. Add offensive and defensive coordinators 10. Stop focusing so heavily on animations. Let the game just play out. Literally at this point go back to Madden 08 and recreate the game with an updated roster.
I’d like to see a myplayer revamp. Maybe add a 5 on 5mode where you can play against other players in a QB, RB, TE and 2 WR situations where you built your player that can play on both sides of the ball
Nick Green yea but still have a pre team lineman based on who the captain is when running squads like a base team with team chemistry like Vertical power RUN air raid
I know it doesn’t seem like it but crowd noise and attitude would be so much more game changing! Just the eruption of the crowd on the away teams 3rd down would make games feel so cool. Also, they should edit how loud each stadium is (Saints and Seahawks are the loudest and so on) if madden can’t implement the other things this is a MUST HAVE
I don't know how Presentation doesn't make this list!?!? Are you kidding me? PRESENTATION NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR THE MODERN GAME! Crowd noise should impact away players like in NCAA 14... your own game had this feature...in 2014! Wow! Romo & Nantz commentary Pre & Post Game shows, NFL Network, TNF logos, SNF Logos, they simulated the CBS broadcast on Madden 14! Do it for Madden 21! Again...Simulation people buy Madden for Franchise Mode & to simulate what we see on Sundays! Another reason why Competitive Play is stupid... because its doesn't simulate real NFL Sundays!
We are talkin g ea here...they sold us these arche type superstarstuff from 12years ago...Madden 08...wich except for graphics had a lot more features after all...ea is such a shitshow, the effort needed to make a top notch career and franchise mode...the state of the art meta game...well only takle 2-3 dedicated coder that know what they are doing. They just dont want it to be good, so that people focus more on online play and buy shit...thats where the money is for them
You realize these are professionals and arent really affected by home field advantage? The Pat's literally lost at home in the cold against the dolphins and turned around and got booted by the titans(in NE) look at all of the teams that lose at home in the playoffs and in the regular season. If home field advantage was THAT important the Saints would stop losing in the playoffs
@@slidingcatch I agree with that, but as far as crowd noise and home field providing an advantage I dont agree with at all, these are professionals and adults who have dealt with crowd noise their entire careers, not some college kids walking into the big house or neyland
Spot on face scanning updated rosters thru preseason and regular season real Jersey numbers associated to the players and bring back real life intro coming on the field
i personally think that madden should try a mycareer experience next year like a fully online type ordeal you create a position go through the combine and then get drafted. then you grab a group of friends and you go and play against other people kinda like how 2k has their park idk i just think it’s something different and would be fun (i understand that this video was on franchise i just had to put my idea out there)
Edit Injury and duration similar to NBA 2k(!), when I have a custom coach Id love to have at least a playbook that is stock (air raid, run heavy, etc...), annnnd some fresh relocation teams would be nice.
Here is what I want: Training camp: No Ovr will be shown... pick players by judgement instead of ovr. Secondary fixes: Safeties will not play zone coverage, but most of the time they just double cover, or changed by audible. Better throwing traits for punters LB and MLB pass coverage: Make the ratings of pass coverage traits better. Better draft: Make the best players available up to 84 ovr in the draft, and worst players would be about 50 ovr Better Pregame and halftime: Show highlights of simulated games Better commentary: groups of different commentators Coaching tree: specializes in different schemes Better Owner features: Build a stadium, make money by food, player suspensions, and also have the power to cut players, like Jerry Jones. QB consistency: QBs will be more accurate Remove deadeye X factor traits Speed balancing: RBs should usually outrun everybody Conditioning Coaches: Higher ovr the coach the faster players get OVR More animations Better Free agency Positions: be able to change position any time Balance pay between LBs and MLBs: Mlbs will make more money than rolb Better stat tracking Custom Jerseys Be able to play in more foreign countries (France, China, Brazil, Israel and Japan) Donations: players can donate pay for a better ovr Long snappers CPU kickers will not make every kick Post game conference New celebrations Insert mascots Coaches can not change players ovr by sliders Add Player association Add scouting games Game plan by watching opponent’s film Better injury simulation Better practice in franchise Your pay actually means something (I.e. interaction with the outside world Add blimp flyovers Improve draft scouting Make defense more competent Create a franchise Create a jersey Finally, don’t script plays and allow plays to play out based on OVR!!
We need Snapping/LS rating so if my center gets hurt I can’t just put anyone in and have them play the same or if my long snapper goes down my LG can’t be the best LS in the league
Pokecatmoo I agree and also have a holder position, and the better the holder, the slower the kick meter and less chance of your kick getting blocked. If your holder is bad, you will have a fast kick meter and a higher chance of getting your kick blocked.
They really need to update simulation stats. Quarterbacks still do not have enough rushing yards, scrambling archaetype QB’s should have 500 yards minimum in a season, you see backup running backs in the nfl average 5 yards a carry and yet in Madden your lucky to get 3 yards. I’m tired of seeing Albert Wilson lead the NFL in receiving yards while Deandre Hopkins has 800 yards. And I’ve noticed there’s a very low sack total in full season sims, seems like only 2-3 guys get over 10 sacks a season, and add pressures as a trackable stat. I don’t know anything about coding or game developing but I can’t imagine this is a difficult fix
QB rushing are little bit better now cause I have had a season when Deshaun Watson had 600 yards & Mitch Trubisky had 500 yards 8 tds but Lamar Jackson had only 300 yards which is b.s. everything else I agree 100% why tf is Adam Humphries & Albert Wilson have 100 catches & 1000 yards seasons while D-hop & Michael Thomas barely crack 60 catches & 800 yards. Also McCaffrey & Kamara only having 30 catches is laughable & Jacoby Brissette has more passing yards & tds then Mahomes ridiculous. I guess strip sacks are also mythical as well because I have had Khalil Mack register 3 FF's in 6 years while in real he's had 10 in the last 2 seasons & this season is even over yet smh like this is beyond bullshit at this point
I’m glad I found your content today. My cousin and I have been running multi year franchises since madden 08 together and we didn’t know there was a community who had the same gripes with the games we do. Earned a sub homie 🤙🏻
They should be able to do both by now AND Create a stadium...they could get companies paying THEM to put their product logos in the game for us to use in stadiums
Ability to Restructure contracts, ability to choose a color rush uniform for relocation teams, the regression system needs to be toned down. Starting to regress at 27 is crazy, regression should be based on performance not age. Examples of that are Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Larry Fitz, even AP. These guys are old but still produce at a rather high level, some are as good as they’ve ever been in their careers at older ages. Along with the regression system being based on performance, same with development traits. A drafted rookie can have star, but if they fail to meet statistical thresholds for 1-2 consecutive years they’re considered a bust and should go down to normal, and maybe they can rebound their careers. Madden releases updated versions of the rosters to change dev traits based on real life stats, but for in game rookies and the time after the super bowl but before the next game release (around 5 months) when there’s no roster updates because the seasons over, we should have a feature that lets the dev trait go up or down based on stats in game. Also a chemistry mechanic could be cool like ultimate team. If they add an off-season program and a few players train together their timing becomes in sync and all that. Also, new signings and drafted rookies can get used to the playbooks and teammates around them. Same with head coaching and coordinator changes, it gives them time to form a Chemistry and be on the same page on the field. Chemistry could relate to morale hits if someone is traded or released, or morale boosts if someone is signed to an extension. Examples are Dak/Zeke and Brees/Sean Payton. This chemistry idea is a bit of a stretch I know but could be fun to see implemented in future maddens, with the option to toggle it off/on as some may not want to use it.
Yeah .. Id love a Draft Like Idk the Draft .. Have "Draft Experts" either praise the pick or make fun of it and show a little highlight video of the player with voiceover like Idk the NFL draft .. Trey Wingo voice The Steamers are on the Clock
They need to fix supersim in game stats so RBs don't have 40 carries for 200 yards while your QB will end up with 160 yards or something unrealistic in modern football. Scouting doesn't matter. D ends and d tackles are in the wrong stance as well, some pros don't follow the ball side hand down rule but most do and Madden needs to fix that. Also let's get long snapper as an actual position that matters. Tattoos as well and new faces for rookies. Every rookie looks like a 35 year old. White people long hair is also garbage. Customizable faces like qb1 but clean it up so they aren't ugly af. Slot receivers shouldn't get 17 yards a catch and 1000+ yards a season in sim.... looking at you Adam Humphries. And the list goes on but they won't change
I don’t understand why they don’t use UFC/fight night’s tattoo engine or make one like 2k’s. Also why don’t they make the franchise as customizable as 2k’s MyLeague? In MyLeague an arena can be changed from the images shown on the front of the press box to the actual floor. If they don’t want to put in the work to make a whole engine for this (it wouldn’t really be that hard they’d just have to put up community servers and such) they could just bring back the create a team aspect from Madden 12, Imagine the possibilities of these new madden features in a CFB game too, Just copy paste this games engines and features add back coaching carousels, transfers, team builder and other things from the old CFB games. There just with that you bring satisfaction to the mainstream because the gameplay is already a good time.
Before I watch the vid, your getting an automatic like. I already know this is gonna be good. Edit: Yup a great video. Also another thing they can add to build off if the home field advantage are player feeding off energy they get from the home crowd. This can be players not getting as tired or just getting a boost of energy when they are tired. Also I think the whether effects during a game would be very cool cool to implement. A team like Buffalo or Kansas City had to draft strong arm Quarterback's so their throws could cut through the cold whether in those cities. Maybe have cold whether game make it much harder for quarterbacks with a lower throw power to struggle throwing the ball. Make Quarterback's, runningbacks and recievers lose the ball more in the rain. Maybe in hot whether climates like Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Texas make players with a higher endurance have an advantage to be able to play better in the heat?
They need to make a players weight and size matter, Big RBs need to fall forward, and fix body types. Also they should have a mechanic where you can reach for the goaline or first down while being brought down
This was absolutely the most fantastic franchise request video I've watched. The fact that you're breaking things down in terms of realism makes it so much easier to follow. Franchise people can ask for a lot sometimes and I think you did a great job being realistic with what we need. Nice video.
I would love for there to be more in depth scouting and story line type things, after playing through a few seasons and drafting players theh game doesn't feel the same. You have all these players you drafted and it just feels like you don't know the players at all. You don't get the same feeling as when you have the real life players. Maybe making their be more storylines with the people drafted and a more in depth scouting system will make you feel like you know the players you are playing with.
I just want to play as a kicker and play over 35-40 before it makes me just retire it does my head in I want to be able to do a combine with all the drills and how you do in them affects your draft stock and that that type of thing.
I would hope these coaching and coordinator trees plus training changes would help diversfy teams The coaching should matter, I want the Pats to be well coached and scheme diverse like they have been for 20 YEARS I want Lamar and the Ravens scheme to give defenses headaches Etc... I want bad coaches to make teams feel lost and undiscliplined. I want games to feel more dynamic and be challenged when playing different teams and coaches...including new made up coaches/coordinators in the future. Tired of teams just recycling current coaches forever and most games feeling so similar Oh and regression is bonkers. Players dropping off a cliff a bit too soon compared to real life players. Also, a lot of players who stay in the league long term, change and adapt...that would be cool...maybe even specific superstar traits for over 30 players 🤔
Agreed especially more players with more unique player specific abilities unique to certain players to make the way they play more realistic and unique. Also, position archetypes need to have way more on defensive positions more in depth n unique n also that actually give certain position archetypes unique play style traits. Like cornerback n safety have 3? Cb man zone slot. Needs to have way more specific ones that really change how they perform in terms of their archetypes also defensive player should be able to have more abilities then 2 like the offence how QBs can have like 4 5
Regression is HORRIBLE. Players hit 32 and instantly regress -2 to -5 OVR every week. Nobody IRL has ever had a healthy career without many injuries and lost all talent at 32. Also injuries don't have long term effects on the career. A broken collarbone will keep a qb out for half the season but his 1st game back he can throw the ball 60 yards like nothing ever happened and it doesnt have any effect on the longevity of his career either
Joe Price I know slot is supposed to be CBS who can tackle but I feel Run support archetype should be added back and they need to add more abilities and it shouldn’t be that hard I can name a few that they can make like (chase down tackler :players with this ability don’t give up on plays and use all their speed to stop a player. Adore Jackson would have that ) (scoop: players with this abilities CAN EASILY PICK UP A DANG FUMBLE ) (Acorbatic tackler: players with this ability can speed up to make diving tackles) (quick angle : players with this ability can turn their hips faster to quickly get the best pursuit angle ) and they need to have a special blocking abilities for Pshyical archetype WR got some other ones but because it seems every body gets the same stuff and when we decide to create players into a roster we should able to add abilities are self especially since it’s our franchise this should be for offline franchise tho instead of what they do Now it’s stupid how they take good stuff away like face scans we get tired of seeing the same faces for the past 3 years it would be cool if those we’re editable faces like pre set faces and we can adjust hair length ,color,Type of cuts earrings jewelry simple stuff headbands, hair caps , and QB Cadaces idk why that’s not an option for created qbs I wish they added back some of the new ones so when I’m in 2025 I don’t hear the same 2 qb cadence idc if they added the olds and with new ones that means there would be at least 10 generic qb cadences also certain players who have certain traits should have certain actions on the field especially defensive players and if they gonna add celebrations why not have created players options to put on them and different presentations options when coming onto the field especially if your a superstar rookie and you made a friend with a teammate more teammate interactions
I'd like to see a draft update that shows potential CPU picks. So if I know top 2 dont want a certain player because they have bigger needs I can trade up or trade down to get something more scheme fitting
@@SavonSays lol I'm aware. But if you want them to apply realism then what I said should be the way its used. 90 base speed should differ based on height weight etc
Another thing I don’t understand how they haven’t figured out is more intelligence for AI players. If the defense is running zone I would like it if AI receivers would cut there routes short or adjust to the zone coverage and find the hole in the zone
i'm not buying madden 21 if it doesn't have a coaching carousel in franchise mode, i'm still playing madden19 to this day because there is no coaching carousel in madden 20, so come on EA, lest's get this done. it's been to long not to have this.
Good for you for not buying Madden 20. More people need to not pay for it if they can show restraint. Unfortunately I also make a living off of Madden so I need to walk a fine line of playing the game and being critical of it.
i wish that 2k could start back making football games again , that would get madden to listen to us.
it's were you have a offensive and a defensive coach to help your head coach game plan for the game you are playing, just like in the real NFL, it might not be the head coaches fault that you are loosing the game, it could be that your offensive and you defensive coaches are not executing the game plan that your head coach set. therefor you can fire them and hire new ones. to better explain this go check out the game ncaa football 14 .

Empty seats around the front row when your team has a losing season..... this needs to come back in franchise mode
They won't sadly because nfl coaches get so butthurt because they dont like seeing their stadiums empty
Prophezey X yeah....in a video game...what a bunch of pussies maaannn 😂😂
MLB the show has that feature
jags owner got upset bc their seats were always empty and the nfl made madden change it
We can't fully upgrade our players but it's a single player mode it's not like we are playing against other people unless you create a league and play with your friends which I don't do I just want to play with my created player get him drafted have an actual Career mode and feel like I'm an NFL player I want endorsements I want custom cleats I want tattoos stuff like that like we used to have in previous games
Franchise mode needs better commentary!!! There is no "continuation" in Franchise Mode.. every year, its like hitting the reset button... smh
We need a better career mode as well it makes no sense whatsoever that we don't have better career modes than previous games don't even get me started on the archetypes system it makes no sense that we get the same upgrade for attributes that are already maxed out instead of being able to upgrade your own attributes if I play with a player I create I should have full control of how I create my players from his accessories to his attributes and his special skills I shouldn't have to create an offline save to give my wide receiver aggressive catch and stuff like that I can't give my corner back the big hit ability without having to make an offline player it makes no sense can't equipment the feet in bounds trait because they completely removed it for custom wide receiver players we don't have no individual team workouts no 40 yard dash no bench press no agents no mansion no IQ test we don't have anything that gives franchise or career mode any replayability whatsoever cant' pick my parents to determine my attributes the archetypes system is trash it's so many things they can add the system is trash
So true. Kills the replay value entirely
Won the superbowl 3 years in a row and nothing gets mentioned of it, and affects nothing. It ruins the experience for me tbh
@@thecreeper00ify it's like yeah I can have a better career mode than Tom Brady win more Superbowls more MVPs and stuff like that but all I get is an achievement they don't mention your accomplishments in the commentary they just say this guy was NFC player of the week like that's really not a big deal or if you get drafted in the first round this guy was a first round pick blah blah blah blah blah blah 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️the commentators just repeat the same thing over and over again
Yes they need to get that fixed.
There should be no reason that I can’t see a player last team they played for
Yes! They had it for years, too! Why in the fuck does it not track that anymore?
Yeah and once you finish a season, the whole season is erased. You can’t go back and look at past seasons and super bowls
FOR REAL. I like to sim 10 years forward and then play like that so it sucks when I have to spend a ton of time not only editing players and teams (because their overalls drop to the 60s and players look weird), but I have to do some stat tracking on my own that the game should be doing for me
They should copy 2k history of players and stuff they have
@@wiserise1393 they really just need to copy 2K in everything. Scouting offseasons stat tracking hell even the single player with the story is better in 2K
1. Delete ultimate team
2. Try
That's all I want from EA
Ultimate team really takes away everything else in madden, and it’s NOT like ultimate team is amazing anyway. Put some effort in
Ultimate Team should be a whole separate game.
I agree with you here! ultimate team is trash, get rid of it and make franchise mode and mycareer BETTER also presentation!, thats what ppl by the game for. imagine in mycareer if they did an online community and you can go to the park and do pick up games of 7v7!! thatll be dope!
Exactly all I want to play is franchise mode
They should make MUT its own free game and do it as a live service game like Fortnite for those people that like it for some unknown reason, then make the actual game be priced and work to improve it
When you change locations in franchise mode . You should be able to use your former teams uniforms as throwbacks
@SolarByTheWay like the oilers
Sweet last name bro
And also just have more than just 2 uniform combinations. It gets boring having to wear the same jerseys for every game. Also a couple more cities and more stadiums to choose from would be nice. Or just be like 2K and give us the opportunity to create our own teams.
Yes
@@OnlyOneSoonerNation1 create a team should be a standard mode in any sports team, it's a joke it's not in madden
the "retirement" logic in franchise mode needs to be improved... the logic should depend on team performance, contract status, that players performance in regards to team performance... also there should be a notification letting you know a player is "considering" retirement JUST A THOUGHT
Also how 27 year olds start regressing so you can never develop guys like Brady or even Julius Peppers who are still usable late into their 30s
I actually got one from Antonio gates said he had a great career but wanted to get a ring, in the end I lost by a TD and he retired but that was kind of cool. Side note also same season Fitzgerald retired but didn't say shit
@@silveripodx7 right, I had one notification for Bobby Wagner, but no one else.. if that you are playing franchise mode, even if they are not a "superstar", as long as they are a "starter" on the team, notifications for retirement consideration should pop up
We need s Trade Finder system like 2K. It would make trading a whole lot better.
I need that in all EA games its a great feature
Andre Winfield FAX
Better yet do everything like 2k does.
Gabriel Rodriguez true at least for my GM and my league mode because it’s perfect to me in 2k and way easier imo than madden especially for a new player that mode in 2k has so many things and it’s very deep but 2k players undermine that mode a lot very underrated when there is so many things you can do
Andre Winfield I agree
Oh AND A GOTDAMN TRAINING CAMP!!! My god they had this before and I- ugh ea gives me headaches
The old drills you could do for players on your team to make them better were some of the best features they had.
Doing training camp drills for my QB and etc was so much fun
I suggest you go watch ericrayweather's video about why franchise mode doesnt have these things anymore
Tell me about it. I been playing Madden since 99
RhynoEst92 you will play the training camp mode once and then never touch it again lmao. Just like when everyone said they would play the pro bowl😂😂
Ryley Opielski maybe you lol I used the training camp in all my franchise modes
I want to be able to break franchise records and also have a team hall of fame
So all the features they had on ps2? Lol
Add those franchise mode and career mode features back to the game
Be able to retire numbers
It’s so sad how low expectations are for a madden franchise while NBA 2K has the most in depth franchise (my league) mode I’ve ever seen and people still complain that it sucks.
The have just not touched it or improved it in 4 years😂 it gets stale
@@natelowry5735 It may get stale but Madden is just terrible
Ik I'm late in this and while my league has a lot to it it's pretty surface level. A lot of the stuff is broken but the core mechanics of 2k my league are even more broken then Madden's.
@@mitchellima4736 yupp. Both are shite
Say what you will about 2K but MyLeague is leaps and bounds ahead of Madden. Hell even the NHL 20 (an EA game with a much smaller budget than Madden) has a better franchise mode
Here's a really easy one that is always ignored. Give teams their draft picks back when doing a fantasy draft.
Others that shouldn't take a ton of effort:
-Fix RB sim stats to change with OL quality
-Draft class quality slider
-An option to show random plays from playbook in games (I'm lazy, I don't want to look around to find more unique plays)
-Retirement List
-Better team records/yearly stats
-Extending players at any time (Especially to restructure contracts to free cap)
-Custom Fantasy Draft Order
-See all previously picked players in amateur draft and fantasy draft
Would really like to be able to sub players by a % of snaps.
contract restructuring for a player who suddenly broke out and wants more money
The O Line one I can’t stop thinking about. It pisses me off so much when my running back does terrible behind an insane o line during sim
You can view retirements, but it is very complicated
SilentSchauf if you want to see retirements go to transactions, then use one of the triggers to switch to retirements
GKdunch preferably running backs
In player careers there should be an option where your team can trade you, even without your say so
One thing I hope they change is that they change the field goal HOLDER from the backup QB to the punter. Sounds like I’m nitpicking but that has never made sense to me lol.
justin j same 😂😂😂😂
.... the field goal holder is the backup qb irl
Jesshadow varies by team but it’s usually a punter
Jesshadow no not in a long time
Jesshadow hasn’t been like that for awhile
Players: Can you add in a better coaching system.
EA Tiburon: *Here's DJ Khaled as coach*
History would be so huge. Would it really be that hard for the game to store data regarding each team’s record year-by-year?
No, Madden had team stat tracking and player stat tracking/ what teams they played for in Madden up until Madden 12 or 13 I believe
Right.. NCAA 14 you can see your school's record from 50 years ago and see if they won a championship etc
NBA 2K has that feature, there are thousands of detailed stats of every players from the 50's.
*EA doesn’t want to produce the “Perfect Franchise” because then a quarter of the players won’t continue to purchase it every single year* , they’ll just keep file-share updating the rosters and draft classes (as some already do)
I doubt it. They're losing more people because it sucks than they would by putting out a good product.
we should be able to see past seasons wins and losses. Even the playoffs for those years. I never remember who wins a super bowl and I feel like we should be able to
Ya fr i always have to write it all down
Yes NBA2k has this and Ea needs to implement it
Bobector bruh sameee
Save the game after the super bowl. Label each save with the year and it then you have a record of that season, not perfect but it helps
ayoungz6
That works but it shouldn’t have to come down to that
Bring back historical teams, remake the offseason, completely remake halftime report and add a Super Bowl half time show
the tf bring back historical teams, pay retired players on these teams, for a mode that makes no money. Right. Because that is realistic.
X X either you’re a little ass kid and never played the og maddens or you’re just being an idiot. But there used to be actual teams in the game that were brought into madden to pay tribute to their excellence. Such as the 85 bears
the tf I’m gonna go with that he’s both of young and an idiot
NEED to fix a lot of things and there should be no reason a player like Kyler Murray can't out run a Defensive lineman
This is imo the most important gameplay feature that no one talks about. Even escape artist doesn’t always make it a guarantee that you can outrun like fucking fletcher cox
I turn down the speed threshold to 20-30 in all leauges much better
@SoundSupplyOfficial there is one
The reason they move faster is because of their pursuit rating
SoundSupplyOfficial hit the left trigger or l2 button
I think that a trade finder would be a really cool addition to the game. I know it’s something that isn’t as important as other things however I think that it would be useful to shop your players that way or find out how much other teams value their own players. Also I can’t imagine it’d be very hard to implement.
Schemes should be fixed that way all of my receivers aren’t slot receivers
dylan busby and the simulation is so ass McCaffrey and kamara get no receiving yards and Lamar gets no rushing yards
@@gerrick5803 yeah they gotta change all that n go more in depth with players archetypes so it strongly reflects their real life play style and effects how they are used in games both user and sim. Especially defense to me certain players need more unique archetypes and abilities for guys like derwin james who bbn is used in 4 to 5 position alignments a game n yet hes just a ss with archetypes of either zone hybrid or run stopper or something? Like seriously a joke I can't even comevvlose to truly utilizing a player like that correctly with depth charts that only allow u to start players in the traditional "base defense" with a fs and ss when chargers use 3 safteys most of time n up to seven dbs when using king in slot. Their should be more starting depth chart setups based on team and scheme n custom personnel u can modify for each position like switching out a lb position to use a db as example
@@gerrick5803 they did change that thank god though
Chandler Russell exactly. 2k has tendencies so even if you are bad at shooting 3s, you will still shoot a lot of 3s if that’s how you play (Westbrook)
Goat make the teams scheme have a scrambling QB and they’ll run, regardless of player or playbook 👌🏽
I would love an upgraded presentation, like use the real life presentations, like cbs,fox,nbc,ESPN,nfl network. Just would love this feature if it got into the game but my most wanted feature is definitely a coaching carousel. Also I would love the ability to edit jerseys and football stadiums, so that we could play college football in franchise mode, even put the custom jerseys and stadiums on the community creations and import it into franchise mode like nba 2k does.
Jaden Charleus they have NBCSN presentation on NHL games so hopefully it’s not too far fetched.
I also would like that and make it deeper let me have position coached as well (like nfl head coach) let each mode feel like that mode, being an owner should not feel like a head coach, and in career mode let the coach call the plays, if your the QB or defensive captain you can call audibles of course but be more realistic let the coach be a coach, have scenario's in which u don't agree with the coaches, be able to ask for a Trade more year or the team trades you if u ain't performing
They probably can’t do this because of the cost of rights

@@williammerklinger4623 exactly just like it was for the maddens on ps2 and some for ps3
They need to add “create a team” feature back to this game. As well as add division and conference re alignment options like 2k.
Let's get classic teams like in 2K. Like c'mon it makes too much sense! Imagine using the '07 Patriots vs 78' Steelers, 91' Cowboys vs 13' Seahawks etc etc.
That would require the whole 53 man roster on every single classic team to be licensed into the game which I doubt would happen
SavageAvery well not really you can just use their number an general likeness. It’s what NCAA did
There used to be classic teams in the old maddens
They would take the number, size, and I believe college
They used to have legend teams smh
Just seeing teams in practice uniforms would make me happy.
Be ability to switch from out door practice field to a indoor field and during super they should have a other practice field that get hype up when playing super bowl and bringing the ultimate stadium to franchise mode on to start dumb ultimate team on play who is a nfl play they have their own custom jerseys weird color. Noob nfl I not buy madden if it does not come out on switch lol
I just played my NCAA 14 on Tuesday and Wednesday. It's AMAZING how different teams play from week to week. One week I'm playing a spread team that's runs 4 and 5 WR's no huddle air raid Offense, then the next week I'm playing a team that runs a shotgun 2 RB power/Option scheme, then the next week I'm playing a HEAVY WR/RB screen team. It's wonderful.
EA needs to overhaul Defensive philosophies as well. There are certain coordinators in the NFL that believe in running man coverage 60-70%(Steve Spagnolo, Wade Phillips, Bill Belichick) then there are certain coordinators who believe in more zone (Keith Butler in Pittsburgh, Rod Marrinelli, Matt Ebeflous in Indy) then there are some coordinators who run a little bit of both man coverage and zone coverage combo (Shaleh out in San Fran, Vic Fangio in Denver, Ron Rivera, McDermott out in Buffalo)
Then you have your super AGGRESSIVE coordinators who like to blitz 40-50% of the time (Martindale out in Baltimore, Gregg Williams in NY)
I want to feel like I'm playing different teams from week to week. I still feel like I'm playing the same TYPES of team's with the same TYPES OF schemes week to week.
CPU playcalling is on a constant loop.
Well said sir
Agreed
@@zacharyrogers1071 My God So ANNOYING

Eric Thomas Facts.... that and just make simulation/ simulation stats more realistic.... ain’t no way Lamar is only rushing for 120 in a season and 15 to 20 sometimes lower per game.... both those things need to be fixed
I think they should implement a “peak start” & “peak end” age to players. To help with regression. Similar thing is in NBA 2k.
Bugaah12 Or random regression and progression to make it more realistic.
This is a great vid (again) but I gotta say, I think you missed the same huge issue that EA misses with franchise. Basically, Madden Franchise is still a single season game. The dates change, superbowl numbers go up, some stats accumulate but really one season is not affected by the season before. Having a great season doesn't change players' willingness to sign with you. Going to three SBs in a row doesn't change commentary or even register in the scenario engine. Hell, you can't even tell what other teams a FA has played for when you sign them. The very least they could do is add teams to a player's stats when you look at their career stats.
When a player has been with your team for 10 years as a star retires it's in silence. Why? Because the franchise mode of Madden isn't Season on season. It's season + a bit.
This aggravates me as well. It doesn't feel like each career mode is unique with it's own timeline starting from my first season; it feels like one season happens, then the next season starts different and more stuff happens, then on and on. No mention that X player is a three time MVP, no mention that X teams have a played against each other in the Super Bowl a couple years ago, no mention of revenge games or even a calendar to see holidays.
The only "on-pace" records are career-wise and you could have the most pass TDs in a single season but they'll forget after that very season.
Milestones feel hollow, like you said retirements are quiet and social ties between players/coaches is nonexistent.
Navon Myhand facts! I remember I was the Packers and Ravens getting to the SB two years in a row and it didn’t even feel legit or immersive. No mention of how this is a rematch of last year’s game nothing like that at all
Well said.
I’d like a complete rework of the offseason
Yes. Why don't we off offseason development. Something to increase core stats like Speed, Strength and Acceleration.
Zachary Rogers idk about speed and accel... that seems OP. It seems like a way to just get a bunch of tyreek hills on the field at once.
@@viewsofphoenix6548 only one or two points for only 1 person on offense and defense
Free Agency is not good at all. Especially in online leagues you can just increase your offer last second. Also in re-sign period a player should not just go to free agency after one failed re-sign try, but there should be at least 2 or 3 phases of "hey, I want more guaranteed money or reduce the contract length" and so on.
Zachary Rogers it’s also extremely unrealistic. You don’t get faster as you age. Maybe stronger but nobody goes from running a 4.5 WHEN THEY TRAIN FOR IT to running a 4.35 while training for games.
You know what’s crazy.
In Madden 17 there’s this glitch in Franchise mode where if late in preseason a player who is over 30 gets released sometimes this thing happens where they almost get deleted from the game. Even if they have a hall of fame legacy score it won’t matter- they’ll just have disappeared and all traces of there existence will be gone. Can’t find them in legacy or in free agency or on any roster, and if you look in transactions it’ll just say they got released. Weird glitch.
It’s in Madden 20 too. I just think it’s crazy that a multi-billion dollar organization could ever have a glitch that hasn’t been fixed in four years.
Haven't even started yet but just wanted to point out that the fact that this video is 35 minutes long says a lot

Coaching carousel: how is this not a thing yet
Actual coaching staff: older maddens had this so how does your olden projects have this feature but your more powerful and higher budget games do not
An actual legit halftime show, post game show and pre game show: literally EA has such half assed this for about a decade now
Coherent NFL drafting: a team shouldn’t be drafting a High pick on a QB or RB when they legit did that a year ago
Position pre-season battles!!!: again you had this before and got rid of it for no reason and got rid of a degree of immersion
PRESENTATION/DETAILS: if a QB is throwing a 3 pick game show his frustration on the sideline
A defense giving up unholy stats/points? Show it
Realistic reactions of injuries and not just some hogwash cutscene (ya know who had this yep ya guessed it 2k)
Again the gameplay is fine (still some hiccups) again it’s the immersion which is what NCAA always had over NFL games so who ever use to make the NCAA games take that team so they can replace the assclowns making the NFL game
dt6197 unless it is the Cardinals, then they can take back to back first round quarterbacks.
balthazar handelong that was a case of them dooming themselves lol that was a head scratcher
They actually can't add realistic injury cutscenes. As usual, the NFL was butt hurt and threatened to cancel EA's license if they didn't agree to their terms, which included ridding the game of serious injuries (concussions, broken necks/backs), and cutscenes that include a stretcher or ambulance...
Robert Crawford there’s ways around it, no ones asking for anything graphic, hate to bring em up but 2k found a way to do it and still make it work
I think there should be a better dynamic news storyline system
They home field advantage could be something like NCAA 14 where on 3rd down ur plays shakes when u we’re away. This was an EA game so it shouldn’t be hard.
Or a rating boost. If you play in Seattle or Denver there’s no difference from playing in Cincinnati
Or Deafening Crowd Noise
Things I’d like to see added:
-Retirement list (much like 2k has)
-Coaching carousel (NCAA 14)
-The ability to restructure contracts would be huge
-Fix the stats for a RB in comparison to how good their OL actually is
-History: The ability to look back at past seasons and see how well a team did or look at players history, who won the Super Bowl the previous year of the franchise etc.
-The ability to request a trade when controlling your own player in a MyCareer: If you’re a 99 overall and you’re stuck on a team that’s 0-5 you would request a trade, why can’t you?
-Lastly the ability to tone down CB being so OP in MyPlayer... I had 75 interceptions in one season
CB is only op in CPU but playing as a CB is really boring
Dude I won back to back Super Bowls and DPoY using a CB for the dolphins. CB’s are sooo fucking OP it’s crazy. Running backs are too.
Dominic Panessa That’s just how you use them if they nerfed them vs cpu that would make can boring
Running is op in every mode
Harry Askham did you get mvp, because defensive players should be able to
Why can’t there be a mode like face of the franchise (but a lot better) where you choose a position play a year in collage and that decides your overall and draft stock you get drafted and play like why can’t this be in the game
BucsBoi something like MLB the show ROAD TO THE SHOW? That’s why I want. Where you can pick any position and have to build your draft stock
That’s what I’ve always wanted. That and the ability to be traded by the team randomly like it happens in real life or to be able to request a trade mid season like you can in 2k
Wouldn't normally bother but it changes a lot of what I was trying to get across... I misspoke at 3:55, said "company" when i meant to say "community". Thanks!
That Franchise Guy unfortunately it’s a pipe dreaM they(ea) will only do MUT
I miss the halftime show from Madden 10/11 era ... wish we had that back.
would like to expansion teams and also custom relocation teams
Something i'd love to see, as a player who loves to do at least one relocation franchise each year, is a change in locations. I'm sure it wouldn't matter to a large amount of players. Keep the international locations available, but as far as US locations, change them up each year, even if it's not all of them, add 4-5 new ones each year to expand it or replace 4-5 of the other ones.
The other thing i'd love to see with relocation is more individual stadium designs. Rather than just having random words on the barricades arounda the field, put up photos of the logo and make each one unique. If you want to get really fancy, add a feature where when we relocate or build a new field, we can choose to create/edit thigns such as the designs on the wall around the field, the end zones, and the logo in the middle of the field.
the ONLY feature i need is full slider customization. we can edit like 20 sliders while Nhl 20 can edit over 100. 2k might even have 200. stuff like CPU short medium deep throw tendency, fumble rate on small med big hits, CPU blockshedding rate, etc. these things are programmed into the game but we cant adjust them to our liking. i play against nick foles and his stat line is 27-30 3ints, 296 yards, and 4tds. i just want CPU qbs to miss throws with out it effecting their decision making
👏👏👏
I wish they would just add come cool stuff. I thought of one called situations, where you could practice offense and defense in a two minute drill or third downs to see what plays you like to run in those situations, you could also add like post game interviews that could change morale for a player or position groups depending on the answer. People may say these things are minor and not necessary but literally all you do in franchise is training, play, upgrade, advance week. There should be waaaaaay more to do
The simulation engine is easily the most annoying feature in Madden right now. That needs to be improved and revamped immediately.
If anyone remembers the Madden 12 franchise mode, i think that free agency would be cool to have back, and some other things to add back that are not franchise related would be “create a superstar” and to fix that mode. it would be great to have a bit of a actual good story for more than 1 position, being able to do the combine, requesting a trade, becoming rivals or friends with different players on your team or other teams, being able to be a Line man on offense, high school and college backstory’s and the ability to play through high school and college, actually being drafted to a random team if you wanted to. If you are needed to be resigned by a team you should be able to make an offer back and the money you earn can maybe be used to buy things for morale like houses, cars, accessories, etc. Another thing about playing as a coach instead of a player that would be cool is if you can pick a play and see the computers play instead of playing yourself. i personally dont like playing as a whole team and this feature could make being a coach more fun for people like me. I feel like ultimate team completely ruins madden since it is the main focus of EA. They shouldnt spend all their time on that and fix everything else thats needed. If i dont like ultimate team and like everything else that never gets updated, then i will get bored of the game modes and then the whole game. In conclusion, EA FIX YOUR GAME.
Madden is so bad we’re already making wish list before the super bowl
Lambeau Leap? Customize Team Uniforms & Name In Relocation! Custom Stadium Build! Refs! Conference Trophy Ceremony? Coaching Carousel? Practice Uniforms? Mouthpieces? Custom Celebrations Like FIFA? The List Goes On!
Little did you know 6 months ago that you would be able to do lambeau leap😂
Honestly I don’t even care about uploading my own logos or editing others. Just do what NHL does and have a large amount of pre-approved logos that we could choose from and be able to make our own colors and customize a stadium. It really isnt that hard if they don’t want people making “inappropriate” logos and uniforms then just give us a large amount of presets to choose from that are not limited to 3 teams in a city like it currently is.
Kazy Baller like alternative nfl team logo presets and 10 for each team
Apparently the NFL revoked EA's privileges of putting in custom teams "because people were botching NFL teams", they used the example of "we don't like that people are putting the Raiders logo on a hot pink helmet". Team owners bitch until EA removes a lot of features as well. Apparently the Jags owner threw a bitch fit because the stadium wasn't packed in the games.
EA didn’t remove it cause of the NFL, they’re just lazy 🤷🏽♂️
@@score1909 EA does suck and they are lazy, but the NFL asks them to remove a lot of features. I can't remember the video name but I saw a video on here with a list of shit the NFL demanded was removed.
Whenever you super sim the CPU always throws for atleast 400 yards
great video. the only thing i would add is that the career stats need to show what team a player played for and it needs to show what team drafted that player too.
I also want press conference and pregame routines
Imagine madden having 2ks franchise
Still would be trash in gameplay and presentation id rather have 2k just make a new football game instead
2k is coming back 🤘🏻
@@lesw2384 but its not simulation but more like an arcade cartoon so no Franchise or mycareeer I think.
@@user-hg4hz1lx2h when they said it's "non simulation game", it doesn't mean that the game is going to be an arcade cartoon, it does not necessarily have to be like a real professional football experience, for instance, they're adding a 7 on 7 street mode like NFL street but with real life players and real life teams, if it's a cartoon based game like 2K playground then nobody will buy it. 🤷🏽♂️
@The Book Of ƬЯXPXP I hope it does because I really want a 2k football game
I mean I have been playing random QBs and I was on my second year with one and I demanded release AND NO ONE PICKED ME UP I WAS DANG MVP and forced me to retire and it annoyed me so much.
Same. Not even a option to negotiate a contract. Won 2 SBs and MVPs, 10,000+ yards, 100+ TDs in two seasons. And to top it off, the retirement prompt had the nerve to tell me nobody in my city (couldn’t even program it to say Denver) would ever remember me. I set the season record in TDs and yards back to back years. EA is a fucking joke
it would be nice if we could request trades as a player and have players request release and trades
I think they should emulate what 2k does once you get to the league. You should be able to not only simulate the career of your player but their life. Customize your house. Interact with media. Interact with other players and get to play with them in online games. And one last thing. We should be able to choose what position we play, including oline, punter kicker etc because you never know who wants to play what.
Agree with everything you said in this video. This is 30-40 years away probably but I’d love to see the game move from being so animation based to more physics based. I shouldn’t be able to tell that a field goal is about to get blocked before the kicker takes a step. Or when you aggressive catch and you get tackled and relaunched into the air because a new animation started.
And maybe this just happens to me but I think its weird the way players run if you change their position. I changed a safety to a linebacker and his running animation became much more robotic and seemed slower despite having the same speed rating.
Back breaker was a completely physics based game not too long ago
I remember hearing about that game and thinking the trailer looked good, never got around to playing it though. I wish the ideas behind the physics in that game were expanded on for madden since it’s the only option we have.
Vesone I played that game and still own it. It’s a unique experience. Soft drink sports, or whoever Marcus mentions in the video did a video about it recently
Yeah that'd be super hard to program
Needs: FOCUS ON FRANCHISE
1. Contract customization
2. Stop scripting plays. Create AI that learns how you play, not just randomly scripting a play to be stopped before it even starts
3. Interactive halftime shows that seem more like a broadcast, not a cutaway.
4. Customizable stadiums
5. Create a play, or even playbook
6. Fix these 80 speed linebackers from magically running faster than my 95 speed wide receivers
7. Progressive commentary. I don’t wanna just hear about how I played last week. No one plays franchise for one season. I wanna hear how I played last season, two seasons ago, even five seasons ago.
8. More injury outcomes. What happened to a player getting the air knocked out of them or career ending injuries? It’s annoying to see the same five injuries repeated
9. Add offensive and defensive coordinators
10. Stop focusing so heavily on animations. Let the game just play out.
Literally at this point go back to Madden 08 and recreate the game with an updated roster.
I’d like to see a myplayer revamp. Maybe add a 5 on 5mode where you can play against other players in a QB, RB, TE and 2 WR situations where you built your player that can play on both sides of the ball
Nick Green yea but still have a pre team lineman based on who the captain is when running squads like a base team with team chemistry like Vertical power RUN air raid
Nick Green it could even be like pro am u can enter into a season with your boys running squads and if someone not one u can run with a random or sum
I wish for EA to lose their exclusivity
They will soon watch
An SDS/2k collaboration on an NFL game would kill it..
Matt Whiskey holy shit your right
HELL YES!! THATS THE PROBLEM!
NEED to make it so you can invite draft prospects to workout for you.
How it works:
Just like 2k lmao
I know it doesn’t seem like it but crowd noise and attitude would be so much more game changing! Just the eruption of the crowd on the away teams 3rd down would make games feel so cool. Also, they should edit how loud each stadium is (Saints and Seahawks are the loudest and so on) if madden can’t implement the other things this is a MUST HAVE
Wonder why they can’t just import all the stuff from older madden just with new player and import it in there and just add extra stuff
Won't work with the new code most likely.
They just want the game too be shit bro.. their greedy
We need to be able to design our own team and stadium like in madden 11 or 12!!! That is a must in Franchise mode
I don't know how Presentation doesn't make this list!?!? Are you kidding me?
PRESENTATION NEEDS TO BE FIXED FOR THE MODERN GAME!
Crowd noise should impact away players like in NCAA 14... your own game had this feature...in 2014! Wow!
Romo & Nantz commentary
Pre & Post Game shows, NFL Network, TNF logos, SNF Logos, they simulated the CBS broadcast on Madden 14! Do it for Madden 21!
Again...Simulation people buy Madden for Franchise Mode & to simulate what we see on Sundays!
Another reason why Competitive Play is stupid... because its doesn't simulate real NFL Sundays!
Not nearly as important as the stuff he mentioned but this should be in the "want/request" section of the video for sure
We are talkin g ea here...they sold us these arche type superstarstuff from 12years ago...Madden 08...wich except for graphics had a lot more features after all...ea is such a shitshow, the effort needed to make a top notch career and franchise mode...the state of the art meta game...well only takle 2-3 dedicated coder that know what they are doing. They just dont want it to be good, so that people focus more on online play and buy shit...thats where the money is for them
You realize these are professionals and arent really affected by home field advantage? The Pat's literally lost at home in the cold against the dolphins and turned around and got booted by the titans(in NE) look at all of the teams that lose at home in the playoffs and in the regular season. If home field advantage was THAT important the Saints would stop losing in the playoffs
SiphonicAtom Having a divisional game or a playoff game at home should feel special tho. U should be able to tell you're at home
@@slidingcatch I agree with that, but as far as crowd noise and home field providing an advantage I dont agree with at all, these are professionals and adults who have dealt with crowd noise their entire careers, not some college kids walking into the big house or neyland
it's 2019 and we still can't see the team name players previously played for in Connected franchise, Even though it does show in the main menu roster!
I noticed that too, like why have it recorded in the updated roster but mysteriously not in Franchise mode where most people will actually look
@@navonmyhand7999 Lazy development
I'd like to see more storyline somehow.
I'd like to see team sdcc wear there uniforms I have had several teams stuck with another teams helments???
Spot on face scanning updated rosters thru preseason and regular season real Jersey numbers associated to the players and bring back real life intro coming on the field
Press conferences is something that should be added
Like 2k post game on my career?
i personally think that madden should try a mycareer experience next year like a fully online type ordeal you create a position go through the combine and then get drafted. then you grab a group of friends and you go and play against other people kinda like how 2k has their park idk i just think it’s something different and would be fun (i understand that this video was on franchise i just had to put my idea out there)
Edit Injury and duration similar to NBA 2k(!), when I have a custom coach Id love to have at least a playbook that is stock (air raid, run heavy, etc...), annnnd some fresh relocation teams would be nice.
Here is what I want:
Training camp: No Ovr will be shown... pick players by judgement instead of ovr.
Secondary fixes: Safeties will not play zone coverage, but most of the time they just double cover, or changed by audible.
Better throwing traits for punters
LB and MLB pass coverage: Make the ratings of pass coverage traits better.
Better draft: Make the best players available up to 84 ovr in the draft, and worst players would be about 50 ovr
Better Pregame and halftime: Show highlights of simulated games
Better commentary: groups of different commentators
Coaching tree: specializes in different schemes
Better Owner features: Build a stadium, make money by food, player suspensions, and also have the power to cut players, like Jerry Jones.
QB consistency: QBs will be more accurate
Remove deadeye X factor traits
Speed balancing: RBs should usually outrun everybody
Conditioning Coaches: Higher ovr the coach the faster players get OVR
More animations
Better Free agency
Positions: be able to change position any time
Balance pay between LBs and MLBs: Mlbs will make more money than rolb
Better stat tracking
Custom Jerseys
Be able to play in more foreign countries (France, China, Brazil, Israel and Japan)
Donations: players can donate pay for a better ovr
Long snappers
CPU kickers will not make every kick
Post game conference
New celebrations
Insert mascots
Coaches can not change players ovr by sliders
Add Player association
Add scouting games
Game plan by watching opponent’s film
Better injury simulation
Better practice in franchise
Your pay actually means something (I.e. interaction with the outside world
Add blimp flyovers
Improve draft scouting
Make defense more competent
Create a franchise
Create a jersey
Finally, don’t script plays and allow plays to play out based on OVR!!
Madden: doesn’t add any of these
Community: 😡😡😡😡😡
Madden: b b but we gave you X factors last year!
TheWeirdGuy X factor dumb players who don’t have it trash
What I hate is when you have a 90 overall team and you sim the year and you don't make the playoffs.
We need Snapping/LS rating so if my center gets hurt I can’t just put anyone in and have them play the same or if my long snapper goes down my LG can’t be the best LS in the league
Pokecatmoo I agree and also have a holder position, and the better the holder, the slower the kick meter and less chance of your kick getting blocked. If your holder is bad, you will have a fast kick meter and a higher chance of getting your kick blocked.
@@maxswaisgood8069 and the damn Ps NOT the QBs have the better holder rating 90% of the time
Ole Cranky Gamer yes cuz punters are actually the holders in real life.
My madden wishlist is the NFL taking its licensing away from EA
Yes!!
They really need to update simulation stats. Quarterbacks still do not have enough rushing yards, scrambling archaetype QB’s should have 500 yards minimum in a season, you see backup running backs in the nfl average 5 yards a carry and yet in Madden your lucky to get 3 yards. I’m tired of seeing Albert Wilson lead the NFL in receiving yards while Deandre Hopkins has 800 yards. And I’ve noticed there’s a very low sack total in full season sims, seems like only 2-3 guys get over 10 sacks a season, and add pressures as a trackable stat. I don’t know anything about coding or game developing but I can’t imagine this is a difficult fix
QB rushing are little bit better now cause I have had a season when Deshaun Watson had 600 yards & Mitch Trubisky had 500 yards 8 tds but Lamar Jackson had only 300 yards which is b.s. everything else I agree 100% why tf is Adam Humphries & Albert Wilson have 100 catches & 1000 yards seasons while D-hop & Michael Thomas barely crack 60 catches & 800 yards. Also McCaffrey & Kamara only having 30 catches is laughable & Jacoby Brissette has more passing yards & tds then Mahomes ridiculous. I guess strip sacks are also mythical as well because I have had Khalil Mack register 3 FF's in 6 years while in real he's had 10 in the last 2 seasons & this season is even over yet smh like this is beyond bullshit at this point
Lawrence Chavious yeah it’s little things like just fixing some sim stats that would add so much to the game
I’m glad I found your content today. My cousin and I have been running multi year franchises since madden 08 together and we didn’t know there was a community who had the same gripes with the games we do. Earned a sub homie 🤙🏻
2k has most of these features 😂😂
Nick Green yeah bc even though Ronnie is a clown 2k still gives us what we want
@@lucasr2050 yeah game has serious issues but their franchise mode is amazing and has tons of work put into it unlike madden.
Sadly the gameplay is ruined
2k gameplay is sluggish/horrendous and Ronnie is a liar. They literally got away with lying to the 2k community and they’re to dumb to notice or care.
Terry Bogard how? The game is terrible lol
get rid of relocation and bring back create a team
Keep relocation and add create a team, nothing wrong with more customization imo. The best games ever are the ones the players can make their own
They had both on the games from like 05-08.
No reason any of that should've gone away
Framerate Reel thought I was the only one
DcLaflamaBlanca should be like MLB the show 20: custom unis, tons of preloaded audio clips for commentators, choose colors and logos, etc.
They should be able to do both by now AND Create a stadium...they could get companies paying THEM to put their product logos in the game for us to use in stadiums
You deserve such a bigger audience, let’s make this go viral!
Ability to Restructure contracts, ability to choose a color rush uniform for relocation teams, the regression system needs to be toned down. Starting to regress at 27 is crazy, regression should be based on performance not age. Examples of that are Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Larry Fitz, even AP. These guys are old but still produce at a rather high level, some are as good as they’ve ever been in their careers at older ages. Along with the regression system being based on performance, same with development traits. A drafted rookie can have star, but if they fail to meet statistical thresholds for 1-2 consecutive years they’re considered a bust and should go down to normal, and maybe they can rebound their careers. Madden releases updated versions of the rosters to change dev traits based on real life stats, but for in game rookies and the time after the super bowl but before the next game release (around 5 months) when there’s no roster updates because the seasons over, we should have a feature that lets the dev trait go up or down based on stats in game. Also a chemistry mechanic could be cool like ultimate team. If they add an off-season program and a few players train together their timing becomes in sync and all that. Also, new signings and drafted rookies can get used to the playbooks and teammates around them. Same with head coaching and coordinator changes, it gives them time to form a Chemistry and be on the same page on the field. Chemistry could relate to morale hits if someone is traded or released, or morale boosts if someone is signed to an extension. Examples are Dak/Zeke and Brees/Sean Payton. This chemistry idea is a bit of a stretch I know but could be fun to see implemented in future maddens, with the option to toggle it off/on as some may not want to use it.
Well damn. Tag EA. @EA
While drafting, please show the players that have been taken and what team drafted them on the main screen!
Yeah .. Id love a Draft Like Idk the Draft .. Have "Draft Experts" either praise the pick or make fun of it and show a little highlight video of the player with voiceover like Idk the NFL draft .. Trey Wingo voice The Steamers are on the Clock
We need a coaching carousel like ncaa
They need to fix supersim in game stats so RBs don't have 40 carries for 200 yards while your QB will end up with 160 yards or something unrealistic in modern football. Scouting doesn't matter. D ends and d tackles are in the wrong stance as well, some pros don't follow the ball side hand down rule but most do and Madden needs to fix that. Also let's get long snapper as an actual position that matters. Tattoos as well and new faces for rookies. Every rookie looks like a 35 year old. White people long hair is also garbage. Customizable faces like qb1 but clean it up so they aren't ugly af. Slot receivers shouldn't get 17 yards a catch and 1000+ yards a season in sim.... looking at you Adam Humphries. And the list goes on but they won't change
Adam Humphies puts up crazy numbers.
I don’t understand why they don’t use UFC/fight night’s tattoo engine or make one like 2k’s. Also why don’t they make the franchise as customizable as 2k’s MyLeague? In MyLeague an arena can be changed from the images shown on the front of the press box to the actual floor. If they don’t want to put in the work to make a whole engine for this (it wouldn’t really be that hard they’d just have to put up community servers and such) they could just bring back the create a team aspect from Madden 12, Imagine the possibilities of these new madden features in a CFB game too, Just copy paste this games engines and features add back coaching carousels, transfers, team builder and other things from the old CFB games. There just with that you bring satisfaction to the mainstream because the gameplay is already a good time.
Trent Taylor always dominates in my franchises.
Also sim a season and go check out Diggs and Thielens stats. It's a fucking joke. Treadwell will almost always have better stats.
Before I watch the vid, your getting an automatic like. I already know this is gonna be good.
Edit: Yup a great video. Also another thing they can add to build off if the home field advantage are player feeding off energy they get from the home crowd. This can be players not getting as tired or just getting a boost of energy when they are tired. Also I think the whether effects during a game would be very cool cool to implement. A team like Buffalo or Kansas City had to draft strong arm Quarterback's so their throws could cut through the cold whether in those cities. Maybe have cold whether game make it much harder for quarterbacks with a lower throw power to struggle throwing the ball. Make Quarterback's, runningbacks and recievers lose the ball more in the rain. Maybe in hot whether climates like Miami, Tampa, Jacksonville, Texas make players with a higher endurance have an advantage to be able to play better in the heat?
I wish you could set dev traits for custom characters and their abilities when you create them. Why cant we do this yet?
On my Madden it used to say that Alex Smith went to LSU. 🤔
They need to make a players weight and size matter, Big RBs need to fall forward, and fix body types. Also they should have a mechanic where you can reach for the goaline or first down while being brought down
Yeah definitely..I'm tierd of Derick Henry getting blown up by corners
This was absolutely the most fantastic franchise request video I've watched. The fact that you're breaking things down in terms of realism makes it so much easier to follow. Franchise people can ask for a lot sometimes and I think you did a great job being realistic with what we need. Nice video.
Need to add scout big boards like in 2k where there's a big board made by the CPU for that years prospects
And MOCK DRAFTS .. Plus add a radio show ala The Show or use NFL network and have an NFL network show based on your franchise league
I would love for there to be more in depth scouting and story line type things, after playing through a few seasons and drafting players theh game doesn't feel the same. You have all these players you drafted and it just feels like you don't know the players at all. You don't get the same feeling as when you have the real life players. Maybe making their be more storylines with the people drafted and a more in depth scouting system will make you feel like you know the players you are playing with.
I don’t know the situation on this but it seems with online franchise half of the available free agents that are available in real life aren’t there
CPU teams sign them instantly
Love your content. I swear you & I think so much alike.
I really wanna have better draftable Kickers and Punters. I can draft them all and none has a higher OVR than 75.
I just want to play as a kicker and play over 35-40 before it makes me just retire it does my head in I want to be able to do a combine with all the drills and how you do in them affects your draft stock and that that type of thing.
I would hope these coaching and coordinator trees plus training changes would help diversfy teams
The coaching should matter, I want the Pats to be well coached and scheme diverse like they have been for 20 YEARS
I want Lamar and the Ravens scheme to give defenses headaches
Etc...
I want bad coaches to make teams feel lost and undiscliplined.
I want games to feel more dynamic and be challenged when playing different teams and coaches...including new made up coaches/coordinators in the future.
Tired of teams just recycling current coaches forever and most games feeling so similar
Oh and regression is bonkers. Players dropping off a cliff a bit too soon compared to real life players.
Also, a lot of players who stay in the league long term, change and adapt...that would be cool...maybe even specific superstar traits for over 30 players 🤔
Agreed especially more players with more unique player specific abilities unique to certain players to make the way they play more realistic and unique. Also, position archetypes need to have way more on defensive positions more in depth n unique n also that actually give certain position archetypes unique play style traits. Like cornerback n safety have 3? Cb man zone slot. Needs to have way more specific ones that really change how they perform in terms of their archetypes also defensive player should be able to have more abilities then 2 like the offence how QBs can have like 4 5
Regression is HORRIBLE. Players hit 32 and instantly regress -2 to -5 OVR every week. Nobody IRL has ever had a healthy career without many injuries and lost all talent at 32.
Also injuries don't have long term effects on the career. A broken collarbone will keep a qb out for half the season but his 1st game back he can throw the ball 60 yards like nothing ever happened and it doesnt have any effect on the longevity of his career either
Joe Price I know slot is supposed to be CBS who can tackle but I feel Run support archetype should be added back and they need to add more abilities and it shouldn’t be that hard I can name a few that they can make like (chase down tackler :players with this ability don’t give up on plays and use all their speed to stop a player. Adore Jackson would have that ) (scoop: players with this abilities CAN EASILY PICK UP A DANG FUMBLE ) (Acorbatic tackler: players with this ability can speed up to make diving tackles) (quick angle : players with this ability can turn their hips faster to quickly get the best pursuit angle ) and they need to have a special blocking abilities for Pshyical archetype WR got some other ones but because it seems every body gets the same stuff and when we decide to create players into a roster we should able to add abilities are self especially since it’s our franchise this should be for offline franchise tho instead of what they do Now it’s stupid how they take good stuff away like face scans we get tired of seeing the same faces for the past 3 years it would be cool if those we’re editable faces like pre set faces and we can adjust hair length ,color,Type of cuts earrings jewelry simple stuff headbands, hair caps , and QB Cadaces idk why that’s not an option for created qbs I wish they added back some of the new ones so when I’m in 2025 I don’t hear the same 2 qb cadence idc if they added the olds and with new ones that means there would be at least 10 generic qb cadences also certain players who have certain traits should have certain actions on the field especially defensive players and if they gonna add celebrations why not have created players options to put on them and different presentations options when coming onto the field especially if your a superstar rookie and you made a friend with a teammate more teammate interactions
I'd like to see a draft update that shows potential CPU picks.
So if I know top 2 dont want a certain player because they have bigger needs I can trade up or trade down to get something more scheme fitting
I wish they would work on the fact that a 90 speed WR is still faster then a 90 speed DL 🙄
Corey Keenan If a 90 speed WR changed to DL, would the 90 speed WR still be faster?
A guy who is 90 speed but 200 pounds is prolly faster in real life than a guy who's 280 and 90 speed
Jeff Henson we’re talking in terms of Madden ratings.
@@SavonSays lol I'm aware. But if you want them to apply realism then what I said should be the way its used.
90 base speed should differ based on height weight etc
Jeff Henson you didn’t even get the point of my comment. sorry you took the joke too seriously
Another thing I don’t understand how they haven’t figured out is more intelligence for AI players. If the defense is running zone I would like it if AI receivers would cut there routes short or adjust to the zone coverage and find the hole in the zone
