    15 Quick Easy Ways to #FixMaddenFranchise

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 01:11 PM PDT

    Heres some thoughts I had that improve Madden franchise that I do not think would be too difficult to implement, but would make huge changes to how much fun franchise is.

    ​

    1. Player Editing - Before you start a Franchise, have an option to turn off player editing. Minus player name, number, position, and gear. I hate that it's so easy to change everything about a player even X-Factor Abilities. Just make an option that can be toggled on and off.
    2. Fog-of-War for Rookie Devs - It makes no sense why only the rookies with Star, Superstar, and X-Factor have Fog-of-War on their Dev Traits while normal dev are shown. Just do it for everybody. Make it more challenging. This can be toggled on and off depending on preference.
    3. Signing Players Mid Season - Allow players to be signed for more than 1 year during the season.
    4. Make Schemes Matter - Can we add a negative modifier on a players ratings who is playing in a different scheme not just an overall decrease (Which doesn't even matter since their attributes stay the same)? For the most part, players are not plug and play. You can't sign a 3-4 pass rushing outside linebacker and put in him a Cover 2 D and expect him to succeed. There are some players who are exceptions, but most will not be. I suggest a -5 or a -10 reduction on certain attributes for every season they are playing out of scheme. This will completely change how you build a team and will force you to focus on getting players that fit, not just the best players. This can be toggled on and off depending on preference.
    5. Fog-of-War Free Agency - Hide other teams bids for free agents. We should not be able to see who is bidding for what players or what their bids are. This can be toggled on and off depending on preference.
    6. End Of The Year Awards - Show us the stats of the player winning the award or at least give us the option to open up his player card. It's annoying to have to leave the Awards page to go to rosters to see their stats. Also, can we add a Tight End of the Year Award?
    7. Pro Bowl Voting - Add in a live Pro Bowl Voting page to see where your players stand during weeks 8-17.
    8. Coaching Tendencies - Just give us the old system of run/pass slider and let us choose how much percentage a coach will call those plays in sim. No idea why this was taken out.
    9. Contracts - Give us the ability to front load, back load, or evenly distribute contracts.
    10. League History - Create a page where you you can view season results, season stats, and awards for each year you play.
    11. Stat Tracking - Add the team column to the player stats. Plain and simple. Neds to be there.
    12. Player Card - Add the Career Stats, Season Stats, Contract, and Awards pages to the players main player card. Why they need to be hidden on another page makes no sense to me.
    13. Cap Management Breakdown - Show me a breakdown of my salary by the year in a simple bar graph so I can plan out my contract signings. Would also love a breakdown of each position and the percentage of the cap they take up.
    14. Overhaul Offseason Schedule - Below is a sample of how I think it should be done. This may be a little more involved, but some of it can be easily implemented. Free agency should not end before the draft. I don't know about anybody else, but I always go back into FA during week 1 of the Preseason to see what Vets are there to sign and what undrafted Free Agents are there to pick up and I'm basically have free range to get anybody I want for cheap 1 year contracts. Adding a whole other Free Agency period where teams are bidding on rookies and the left over vets, would make it much more challenging to make the team you want.

    • Offseason Stage 4 - Resign Players
    • Offseason Stage 5 - 5th Year Options

    • Offseason Stage 7 - Free Agent List (So you can search and sort all the free agents and plan out who you want to get)

    • Offseason Stage 16 - Free Agency Week 6
    • Offseason Stage 17 - Reorder Depth Chart
    1. Scenarios - Add more scenarios to the scenario engine. I made a post breaking down 19 new scenarios that would make things more interesting and fun. Added them below too as well as a few new ones.
    • Revenge Game (Team): Playing a team you lost to in the playoffs the prior season gains you extra XP if you win, regress if you lose.
    • Revenge Game (Coach): Playing a coaches former team gains you extra XP if you win, regress if you lose.
    • Revenge Game (Player): Playing a team one of your players was on the prior season gains you extra XP if you win, regress if you lose.
    • Rival Game: Playing one of your divisional rivals gains you extra XP if you win, regress if you lose.
    • Win And You're In: Win this game and you make the playoffs gains you extra XP if you win, regress if you lose.
    • Super Bowl/Playoff Hangover: Teams that made the Super Bowl or playoffs the season before must play well early in the season or players will get a small regression.
    • Record Breaking Game: If one of your players or coaches are on the verge of breaking a season or career record, they will get a Dev upgrade and extra XP.
    • Stop The Interceptions/Fumbles: If a player has a couple game stretch of multiple turn overs, you will need to play better or you will loose a Dev or regress.
    • Stop The Drops: WR/TE/RB have a couple game stretch of dropping balls. Keep the drops low or loose a Dev or regress.
    • Stop The Sacks: Your Offensive Line needs to keep the sacks low or they will lose a Dev or regress.
    • Stop The Opposing Offense: You defense is having a bad stretch of games where the opposing team puts up a lot of yards/points. Could be split into rush yards and pass yards. If you don't, defensive players regress.
    • QB Switch: If a QB is playing badly (losses+turnovers+sacks), if will give you an option to replace the started with his backup and if the backup plays well, he will get a dev upgrade and stat boost. Incumbent regresses or loses Dev
    • WR/RB Switch: If your WR or RB has a sting of bad games with a low average run or catch, you can bench them and promote another player and if he does well, he can get a boost or dev upgrade. Incumbent regresses.
    • Contract Year (Season Long): Player is in his last year of his contract. If he plays well, he will get a stats boost. Increasing the contract you will need to give him.
    • Position Battles (Preseason): 2 similarly rated players will battle it out for the starter job during preseason. Winner gets extra XP or a possible Dev upgrade.
    • Contract Dispute (Season Long): Player who has been out playing their contract, will demand a new contract at the end of the season if they play above average. You will need to pay them or cut/trade them.
    • Late Round And Undrafted Rookie (Season Long): late round and undrafted prospects thrust into starting jobs get extra XP or Dev upgrade if they play above average.
    • Request Trade: if a player is riding the bench or has been demoted, they can request to be traded.
    • End of the season cuts: You have to choose if you want to cut a player who has been under performing.
    • Bulletin Board Material (NEW) - Your next opponent has talked some trash about your team. Play well and get some extra XP. Play poorly and regress.
    • Winning/Losing Streak (NEW) - Keep or break the streak to get Coach XP.
    • Hot Streak (NEW) - Player playing well over a couple games will get some extra XP if he keeps it up.
    • Cold Streak (NEW) - Player playing poorly over a couple games will get some extra XP if he breaks the streak.
    • Next Man Up (NEW) - Earn extra XP if a backup starts for an injured player.
    • Special Teams Star (Season Long) (NEW) - Score 5 special teams TD's on Punt Return or Kick return for a Dev Upgrade and extra XP
    • MVP Race (NEW) - If you are 1 or 2 in MVP voting, finish the season strong in week 17 to take the MVP Award and some extra XP. Could be done for all the awards.
    • Heisman Expectations (Season Long) (NEW) - Players that win the Heisman that play above average will get a Dev upgrade and get extra XP. Play poorly and lose a Dev and regress.
    • Top 5 Pick Expectations (Season Long) (NEW) - Players that are drafted in the top 5 that play above average will get a Dev upgrade and get extra XP. Play poorly and lose a Dev and regress.

    I tried to keep the list to things that I think can conceivably be updated using the current system in place. If they can get some of this stuff in, they can completely change Franchise and make it ultimately more fun.

    I'd love to hear what other small ideas you have that can be made to the Madden 21 to #fixmaddenfranchise.

    And remember... don't buy the game, but if you really want to, wait until some the supposed franchise updates are added to the game. Let's show EA how big the Franchise Community really is.

    End of the half Hail Mary!!

    Play clock gone? Anyone else experience this glitch?

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 10:45 PM PDT

    My star RB tore his quad at the beginning of the season and was out for seven weeks. His first week back, he's frustrated for lack of participation.

    Madden 21 menu, honestly had no idea superstar KO was coming back.

    I don’t get it

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 02:46 PM PDT

    If you’re sitting around bored waiting on the EA access trial and you have a computer made in the past 10 years search for the Dolphin emulator! I had Madden 08 running in less than 5 mins!!

    How is this even possible?

    Chris Jones came up in free agency after year 1 with no offers. Offered $12M/y for 7 years and he actually takes it. Safe to say he's been productive so far.

    Madden Trade Logic is completely backwards.

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 03:15 PM PDT

    Let me run a play with 0 seconds left

    Posted: 17 Aug 2020 05:05 PM PDT

    I got a pick off a last second Hail Mary and when i was tackled they called a face mask with 0:00 left and still let me run a play. Is that normal? Is That an NFL rule? I swear I've had something similar happen and it didn't let me run the play.

    Best way to offload extra talent in franchise?

    Posted: 18 Aug 2020 12:46 AM PDT

    Due to some lucky hits in my last few drafts, I've found myself with a a superstar and x factor qb that are both under 24 yrs old, and 4 corners that are either superstar, x factor, or 90+ or. I'm in win-now mode, so I'd like to offload the talent for players that can help me in positions where I need more, but the trade ai is just awful. When I try to give a cpu team who has qb as their #1 need my 22 year old superstar qb for their young superstar outside lb, it barely fills the bar up to half. And with picks, it's the same. CPU won't even give up a first+ a second for the guy, which is an offer that would be jumped all over irl. Is there some trick to this, something I'm doing wrong?
