Hopefully with the moments mechanics, we'll get some youtubes of people trying to go through a few seasons so we can see if franchise works or not. Holding off until then.

i'm liking the changes i've heard so far about franchise. a friend of mine has been toying around with it and said that you still have weekly training, but once you get gold on a drill once, you can simulate from then on out and get a gold result, at least in that particular franchise. Which means no more grinding the same drills over and over every week when you're trying to simulate through seasons. And instead of worrying about that tedious training part with the players you want to git good, you just designate 3 players as focus players, and they will get boosts based on the same weekly training that you can simulate once you get gold. so in theory, you could after the first season or two, simulate an entire season fairly quickly with no punishment. which sounds awesome. i definitely want to see training results in action before i buy it though. i want to see your younger players with good potential traits noticeably going up in overall with your 3 focus players going up noticeably more, and a more logical attribute disparity between different players at the same position. that poo poo before with corners maxing out at like 84 overall and other positions with 30+ players above 90 was stupid. the accuracy of game simulation is another thing that's a potential deal breaker i still haven't heard anything about. the better team generally winning, the stats looking realistic, your players overall ratings having an impact on their statistical performance, your scheme having an impact on how your teams stats turn out, etc.

Dubious posted:i went through one season simming, and im playing through the second every game to see the progression rates. So far playing your games, even if just doing play the moment, is significantly more XP, but nothing gamebreaking so far as upgrade costs for older guys is heavy (as it should be) What were your thoughts on the sim results? Anything wacky happening with league leaders, player stats in general, and standings?

lobatos stats don't look too crazy and i would be ok with rodgers putting up those numbers if that's on the very high side for him, and the packers coach has like 80/20 in favor of passing on that slider.

Eifert Posting posted:I had to say they've definitely fixed the draft classes and the experience gains in connected franchise. There are certain teams that hoard draft picks and certain teams that trade away all of theirs, and some of the roster decisions are a little weird, but overall I would say that the mode has made a huge Improvement. Agreed with all of this. I think they got rid of the sliders too, which sucks. The 0-100 run vs pass, 0-100 conservative vs aggressive ones that were part of your coach scheme. I can't find them anywhere. I used to play with those when I had a QB who I wanted to break the all time passing yards record, or a RB who I wanted putting up 2k yards every year. But I'm legitimately having fun simming through seasons, which hasn't been the case in like 5 years. I started with the niners, and in 2021 we went 12-4 and made it to the NFC championship game without me personally playing a game or doing confidence drills or anything stupid like that. Just steady, consistent gains year to year as we built through the draft. Developing players is fun and requires some strategy in your drafting without being tedious as well. I'm probably going to put a lot of hours into this.

I just simulated a game that might have the worst passing performance in NFL history. My QB is 97 overall, with all of his rating coming from passing attributes, and I also have 96 overall Alshon Jeffery. Against the 2017 Browns, he went 4-15 for 44 yards and 2 INT's, for a 0 QB rating. That's a little absurd, EA.

My suspicion is that the stat generation being that off was based on my QB having the "trigger happy" trait, which you can't actually change by spending XP. I think there's just a default setting at the start of your career based on your player type and backstory. Also might have had something to do with coaching, although John Fox runs a vertical offense in the game, so I'm not sure how a good QB and receiver wouldn't put up numbers in a simulation. Whatever the case, I created a QB in the creation zone with all the good traits and started him off at 74 overall with beastly physicals, and he threw for 4700 yards and ran for another 1400 his rookie season. That's more better.

Dubious posted:actually you can change this, its the senses pressure trait In a qb player career, senses pressure isn't listed on the traits page in "spend xp." All you have is development, clutch, force pass, throw away, tight spiral, penalty, and predictable. The only way you can see your senses pressure level is on your player card. You can edit the trait from that menu in a coach career, but you can't edit players in a player career. It's the same story with juking and spin move abilities. They're locked in from the start of the career.

verbal enema posted:I just want to be able to do run plays Yeah they made run lanes non-existent and the back doesn't run downhill into the line at all, so running just feels futile. I haven't really really dug into it like I did last year, but all the juke moves seem a lot more useless this year too, especially in the backfield.

My favorite is when you go around the outside and the receivers act like they are running a route and don't even consider blocking. They'll just run right past defenders. Thanks bro.

I'm all for making player careers more detailed and interesting, but these weird play in a scripted movie modes that started with the NBA 2K career mode (a spike lee joint!), and have since moved to FIFA and now Madden, just aren't that good. I think if you're going to try and make those game modes more interesting, the old NHL game models are the way to go. Play your player from the beginning and work your way up to the draft. Your draft stock is based on your overall and how well you played. Then after you get drafted, you continue on to win 13 MVP awards or w/e. That gives you replayability at any position. The NCAA games were really good at this too. You started in high school, how well you played determined which schools would recruit you, and then you had practices where you had to score points that led to you beating out the guys ahead of you on the depth chart. Then you just played out your college career. I probably did 20 different careers in that mode. It's so weird to put all the emphasis on like, character development, instead of playing sports.

zimbomonkey posted:FIFA wasn't that bad because for the most part it stayed out of the way. Your career hits a few predetermined speed bumps but for the most part it's pick your team, play your schedule, watch the occasional cutscene of your friend being an rear end. I actually like it for what it is: A MyCareer mode but with a slight narrative thread. I just got the game on sale yesterday, so I haven't tried out the journey yet. I definitely will give it a shot tho.

My last madden was madden 25 on 360 so it's all new to me. Nah, it's pretty good. There's XP sliders in the settings menu once you're in career mode, and those are your friend, but it's definitely playable.
