"This is the last piece of the sandbox that we haven’t given players the ability to do anything with."


Another quote from Ben in these articles that I don't understand why he would say that. If he really thinks this is the last thing Madden needed to be as sandbox-like as other sports games out there then I honestly have no words. Madden is so far behind on being a sandbox sports game at this point that it is laughable he'd even say something like that unless he purely meant it in terms of the sandbox-ness of player editing.

He was surprised that was the first thing we noticed, and not that Odell Beckham looked like.... well... Odell Beckham?!?! Hahaha dude this is 2018 on new gen consoles. Models are supposed to look like the players they are trying to represent!

Madden fans are not toddlers that are simply entertained by flashing lights and bright colors. We are educated consumers who expect the standard that other sports games of set and want innovation. Why is that hard for them to understand?

That's ignoring the context of what he said:

"I love how quickly that was pointed out; it shows the fanaticism towards the game that we love, and the thing about the Madden community is that they notice these things. They didn’t comment on how Odell looked, it was “What happened to edit player?” It’s great and to answer your question, edit player is still there but you just have to scroll down to see it."

He's saying he appreciates the fact that the Madden community pays attention to the details.

Can we edit rosters OUTSIDE of Franchise? You can't share true custom rosters otherwise.
