I'm going to keep saying this about Longshot. This is a pointless mode. There are so many other things that this game needs. For 80% of gamers, franchise is the most important thing, but it gets minimum upgrades each year (sorry, but creating slot corner and slot WR doesn't impress me... you need way more than that).

But instead of giving attention to the mode that most people use, they will instead devote resources to this longshot nonsense. It's almost as if they say "oh, you don't like it? Well, we're going to make you like it whether you like it or not."

This nonsense is fine as an app or maybe limit it to the PC version. I'd be fine with playing longshot when I should be working, of if it were an app, playing it while waiting for my plane to board... but playing at home on my own time? Nope, not happening.

Does anyone actually play these silly story modes on Madden?

Longshot can be a vital part of Madden. It's uses are limitless and can be integrated into MUT and Franchise to make a more immersive environment for all game modes.

Longshot can be the catalyst to coach and owner offices in Franchise. We could see an expanded locker room environment for players to interact for any number of services which are currently bland UI flat screens. Player homes could be brought into the game where awards and achievements are displayed. The possibilities are numerous.

Replay value can be added through Longshot if the environment, the mode, is expanded properly into the other Madden game modes. Immersion adds replay value in games, along with customization.

I don't remember the exact numbers, but last year it was actually played by a majority of the people who played Madden with a pretty good percentage finishing the whole story.

I'm excited for Longshot again. I'll most likely play it heavily on my first trial play through.

I wonder if some of you here realize you are in the minority in not caring about Longshot and only caring about Franchise

Like a deep minority

What would ever give you this impression? How many threads do you see where people want to do a deep dive into it or even care that it exists?
