Show Development Team - Take Notes from Madden

[adamj2281]

Shocker - they are actually listening to fans who want Franchise and not DD/monetization at every turn. I guess they did steal the Show's lead.

We heard you. Not only is your feedback extremely important to us, but also helps Madden NFL get better each year. Our development team worked tirelessly to incorporate highly-requested updates to Franchise in Madden NFL 22 that make you feel more connected and in control.

There will be more detailed staff management and skill tree progression systems, with comprehensive weekly game strategy that integrates into your gameplan. Through the regular season and off-season, new scenarios will keep things fresh as you weigh various risks and rewards to make the right decisions for your team. Plus, Franchise will see improvements throughout the year via three Live Service updates. Our first live service update targeting September to release is one of your top requested features, Player Scouting. Keep an eye out for more Gridiron Notes as each Live Service update rolls in.

We'll see if they actually put their money where their mouth is.

At this point, there is noting but speculation, and few of us have faith Franchise will actually deliver.

Franchise mode was ignored for a full decade. Care to explain that?.. EA even acknowledged it is the most played mode, so its really inexplicable.

The NFL is a living, breathing thing. 24/7, 365. Franchise mode does the worst job imaginable encapsulating that.... with 30+ years to make as dynamic and creative as they cared to.

We'll believe it when we see it.

I agree franchise mode could be alot better. But what MLBtS does best; core gameplay. There are VERY few glaring issues (bunting)

My advice to you; take a lesson from THEM on THAT.

...and now it looks like the new Show's Lead is from Fortnite.

Ok this is sarcastic but not that far from what i've seen in past few years.

But bro it took a trending twitter #fixfranchise to sweep the internet and make them act. Prior to that, they also had done nothing to franchise in like 10 years lol I think you're giving them too much credit

Anybody who has followed Madden development for the past decade knows to take everything they’ve said with the finest grain of sand you can find.

The bottomline is both games have had poor franchise modes for years now. Madden is attempting to fix that. We will see if they succeed. At least their is an attempt.

With this game we got an updated depth chart as one of the top 3 changes with the mode. Not much else needs to be said there.

Their attempting to fix in the next season game Hopefully MLB will do that next season.

Some differences, that twitter thing trended and Madden came out and said their franchise is their most played mode. So maybe there is simply more of an onus on them to improve that

I wouldn't advise any game developers to take notes from Madden. Basically everything you listed was either already in '21, or was supposed to be in '21.

One of the big sells for Madden 21 was the Scenario Engine, which was supposed to do exactly what that press release describes. The way they implemented it was laughable, and the fact that they're readvertising it again this year is even more laughable.
