Madden Franchise Changes (1 Viewer)

We all want big changes done to it. And a big gripe this year that little or nothing has changed.

I found an article where they talk about what they did change. So at least we're not getting the same franchise mode as we did last year.

While that meant not making any major overhauls to Franchise or SuperStar, we were still able to make some notable improvements while we prepare for the future. Specifically, we improved franchise stats (especially season rushing yards and season sacks), in-game injuries, Super Bowl presentation, NCAA Draft Class tuning, and we even completely re-created over 8000 players in 32 draft classes. We also added the new Meadowlands Stadium as the 2014 Super Bowl site. However, the biggest addition to Franchise mode this year is Game Planning. This year you have the ability to create a new Game Plan for every game in Franchise if you choose to do so. If you’re playing the Colts or Saints, you can focus your defensive Game Plan around Manning or Brees. If you’re playing a team with a great secondary like the Eagles, you can focus your Game Plan more around running the ball. You can save off a separate Game Plan for every opponent you face and if they add new players after year one, you can go back and edit that Game Plan to account for those changes. This new feature allows you to be the coach that you always wanted to be.

If you’re playing a team with a great secondary like the Eagles, you can focus your Game Plan more around running the ball.

Having one good player in a secondary doesn't make the entire unit great.

The small things that they should've done was change the roster size to the actual 53 man limit and the Pro Bowl roster too. There's always one or two extra players being voted in at each position and they don't even have the players wearing their team's helmet when you play the Pro Bowl. The HOF in the franchise mode is also an issue because they don't do the 5 year waiting process like in real life. As soon as a good player retires on the game he's going straight to the HOF within the same year he retired.
