Seven Franchise Mode UI Changes Needed For Madden NFL 18

[Toupal]

You hit a homerun with these points!

Madden has the worst franchise/ career mode out of any sports game made. I think it is better than it was last year, but compared to 2k and MLB the Show, it doesn't compare.

All of these with the addition of custom draft classes would be more than welcome!

Agree with everyone here, there are a lot of good suggestions in this piece.

I made a video on YouTube covering some of this a while back, and I definitely agree! The news section looks like a dating website app for football players.

This is why I sold Madden months ago--it's just not there yet. In my opinion, it was the worst of the Big 4 (FIFA 5?) sports titles, especially when you're looking at a franchise mode. They don't even have OL injuries still.

Come on, EA!

Well done Ryan.

Excellent article. Madden has made good strides on the field but the Menus remain cluttered & woefully slow to navigate. NBA 2K & MLB The Show have slick menus that make everything instantly accessible. EA menu screens seem to work off some archaic structure whereby every page has to be loaded.

Madden UI is HORRIBLE.

Makes me miss the solid basics of NCAA 02 on ps2 -- snappy menus, great theme song, player menu didn't go all the way back to the beginning when you closed a profile.

Sometimes the ability to do more just leads to MORE, not better...

No offence but this article is about CFM, your MUT has already had more than it's fair share of upkeep and TLC. It's time this company finally looks after the one game mode it has completely forgotten. Don't try and use this year as an example; they did nothing but tease us with gimmicks on the lead up to the release. I know it'll sound like I'm coming off as a prick, but as a die hard CFM player who has no time, or patience, for MUT. I have grown a great disdain for the whole game mode and the people who play it. Have a great week.

Madden just does not cater to nerds. Some of this was basic in video games 25 years ago. How about a save for online franchise at the end of each season so we can at least go back and look and see that 10 years in we are not in the first season. History. I would love to see league leaders for every year of my franchise and knowing what team they played on is important for this nerd.
