25 Things To Know About Madden NFL 16’s Franchise Mode (Game Informer)

[miz468]

EA should learn from 2K. The reaction to MyLeague in NBA 2K15 was huge. Why? They gave the users total control. Custom classes, sliders that affect things such as sim difficulty and trade frequency, the ability to veto computer trades, editing injuries, etc. It's not a mode without flaws, but having that much control over it makes it so immersive.

Madden needs a franchise mode like this.

Seriously not buying without the ability to edit the names of the draftees. Kills any desire of playing franchise past year one.

Can anyone clarify the use of the ticker I saw??? Is it a goal ticker only or is it a cam update ticker?? I would really like to know this because if it is a cfm update ticker I'm buying first day.. That's what I need from cfm.

I get where you coming from but even with that ability you would get fake names in year 4 or 5.

^^This, 1000 times this. EA is getting a little scary with how little they seem to care about what they're hardcore fans want, I was banned for asking EA if they would consider Beta testing. I understand the challenge of making a game that everyone will enjoy, but it seems like you would listen to you hardcore fans, the ones that are really passionate about the game, and that buy it year after year.

The weirdest thing about all of this to me is that most of us hardcore fans are all asking for the same 2 or 3 things; Better drafts/scouting, better long term gameplay (progression/regression, access to stats beyond 1 year, etc.) and eliminate the bugs.

I'm kind of annoyed that both WR's in that screenshot are 6'4" and over 220 lbs. I know that bigger WR's are more common now, but I don't want to see every team have 3 or 4 guys that are 6'4" or more after 3 years in franchise.

YES, another good point. Players with Calvin Johnson-like measurables come around like once every 20 years, there's not 2 or 3 every draft.

Yea, we just have to pretend every major star from college football today up and decides to boycott playing in the NFL. You're a UGA fan? How much more fun would Madden 15 have been if past year one Todd Gurley was in your league, not to mention all the other NCAA stars? In Madden 16, with no draft class or player editing, Nick Chubb is going to magically vanish from the football world. I'm sorry, that's just not fun for me. If we can't edit these guys into the game, I'll just keep playing Madden 12 and hope it's put in to '17.
