Small thing, but stoked they got rid of the xp pop ups in franchise mode. That made me feel like I was playing street fighter lol

Updating rn...maybe we'll be able to add the pacifier...I mean mouthguard in Franchise mode now? Hoping for a shoe color option in edit player too. I don't even know if those options can be patched in, but I can hope, right?

DEV NOTE: Based on player feedback, we have turned off the XP overhead pop-ups in Franchise gameplay by default so there would be less clutter appearing on the screen during gameplay. For users who prefer this feature, it can be re-enabled via the ‘Drive Goals & XP Feedback’ setting in the Franchise settings menu

Welp... guess we can never say that EA doesn't listen.

Spoiler Alert:

When they are releasing new patches almost weekly they will all seem “underwhelming.”


This particular fix has been one of the most complained about issues so it’s a pretty big win for a lot of people even if not for you.

I dont get why resources were wasted when all people had to do was turn it off in the menu.

That's a really cool, unexpected fix. I do appreciate that they're showing a desire to go above and beyond when possible with franchise. This fix and the removal of the actual numbers in FA bidding that they added last week weren't hyped or promised, but they still fit them in. That's the kind of effort that will result in a great mode for us if it keeps up for the long run.

Also, when is the last time we got patches two weeks straight for Franchise that weren't just bug removals, but actually added features? Pretty nice.
