I cant remember the last time I bought a madden game. Was probably like Madden 18 or something but I played most maddens when they came on gamepass. Completely skipped last year tho. Always hated that franchise never changed. This time it looks like they actually made changes so MAYBE this is a buy. Gotta see if there changes actually work or not

I do connected franchise with some friends but we have not done one in years. Mainly because it has not changed in the slightest. FINALLY it looks like there are substantial changes.

But ranked madden sounds miserable

Havent that been in the game forever? I never remember them taking that out. Merchandise prices I think are still in the game too.

Looks like Franchise Mode from Madden 2001-2005. AKA when they had competition from the ESPN 2K series.

Everything they showed from Free Agency, Draft, Training Camp, Etc was actually in Madden 2001 on the N64. After EA bought the NFL license they removed all the features, you can look at Franchise on Madden 06, a completely bare bones experience.

This new exclusivity deal that was signed by the NFL apparently requires them to make a certain amount of money each year to keep the license. Madden Ultimate Team was released with the next two years after signing this deal.

Do they still have referee error/coach challenges? That was one of the stupidest additions ever. There's no reason the digital ref should make "mistakes".

An arcade style only. Something like NFL street. Simulation games EA has the rights to

No reason to buy any sports game every year. Some people are addicts tho

So what changes?
Highlights are:
  • a way more realistic free agency where players have motivations beyond just contracts so you could offer a guy a bit less than his highest offer and he'd pick your team if it's a better fit
  • also limits on how many players you can offer in free agency + indicators of how interested they'd be in your team
  • various player "tags" that give them XP bonuses or change how teams value them
  • some better contract flexibility (player friendly, balanced, team friendly - not full customization but way better than what we had)
  • cap rollover
  • some scouting improvements - important position ratings are now revealed first
  • draft logic improvements, teams won't draft a QB high if they have recently drafted one early in the draft (links to player tag system)
  • more variance to draft class generation - some players are generational prospects, some are athletic freaks with mediocre skills, some are really good at one thing but bad at others


Like between this and some of the alleged gameplay changes I'm kinda tempted to buy it on ps5
