Another big hit dealt to the state of Franchise mode.

This leaves me far more skeptical on the state of Madden 23's franchise mode and the future of it.

There has been turnover with Madden lately. With Looman, Young, and now Swami, Haumiller is likely working more on CFB. Those are key names. I do wonder how this effects the outlook of Franchise and Madden in general. With Michael Young gone, I do see them going away from Face of the Franchise. Typically you don't see them go with a mode like that for more than 2-3 years like Longshot.

Man that sucks. He was such a big asset. I'd love to see an alternate reality where quality talents like Swammy & Rex were supported with the resources they needed to accomplish their vision. I think scouting could've been awesome if he was actually allowed to do what he wanted to. You could hear his passion in the podcast last summer and this is just another wasted opportunity by EA. Hope he & his talents are valued in whatever he does next.
