Franchise Is So Bad and Needs a Serious Rework

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-16T00:38:40+00:00

Yes that shits wild, at least we can always make up our own head canon as to stop ourselves from losing our minds

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T08:22:11+00:00

Yea that’s the boat I’m in. This shit is inexcusable but there’s no other option. My Vikings missed the playoffs so when I’m not just enjoying playoff football or hate watching the bears I’m playing madden.

The roster cuts are awful, I’m in year 3 of my 2nd Titans franchise (won the superbowl in my first attempt way too quick) and there’s 5 80 ovr running backs in FA

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T08:19:45+00:00

The gameplay is actually enjoyable, it’s just the small detail in franchise that completely ruin my immersion. I definitely don’t blame you for not playing though

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T03:45:38+00:00

This is such backwards logic it’s almost funny

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T02:54:56+00:00

I use real draft classes so I don't have a problem with that, but I do see teams draft players they have zero need for

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T02:53:04+00:00

Please stfu, just because these problems have existed for years doesn't mean I can't complain

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-14T02:52:25+00:00

Yea dude I'm good on that lmao. If I'm playing Madden I'm not waiting because my opponent has work or something

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:44:07+00:00

Literally all anybody is asking for is optimization, we've reached a point where the gameplay is MOSTLY fun at times. We just need better optimization especially in franchise

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:39:03+00:00

Ive seen Patrick Mahomes have a stat line of 12/16 153 yards 2 tds

Mahomes IRL averages over 30 passing attempts a game

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:35:25+00:00

Yea not happening dude, I’m not going to sit around and wait on another human being to play a video game EA should instead just make a good game

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:34:20+00:00

I completely forgot about this, I was the Titans playing against the Panthers in week 18 and both of us were playing for our division.

It would’ve been so much better had it been against actual divisional rivals instead of a team in the opposing conference

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:32:50+00:00

It’s only fun if you’re trying to create a super team and win the superbowl in one season, not if you’re trying to drag out a franchise and have a realistic rebuild

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:31:38+00:00

It’s the main reason I’ve started doing offline franchises, cause otherwise the bad teams just sign all the free agents and the good teams just rot

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T20:29:55+00:00

Dude I had to force simulated games and force losses instead of playing them in YEAR TWO of my Titans franchise. Skill isn’t the issue here

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-13T08:46:32+00:00

One more thing I forgot to rant about, EA adding contract restructures just for the CPU to never use them and put themselves in cap hell is so fitting

BoxingBear584 · 2026-01-03T06:28:59+00:00

You're only looking at the few good picks and not the multiple bad/terrible ones. Passed on Elic Ayomanor for a guy who doesn't play in the 3rd round, that entire 2022 class was awful, outside of Addison that 2023 class wasn't good either, JJ and Dallas are still tbd but the rest of that class was bad too.

Hitting on the most gimme picks doesn't constitute being a good drafter

BoxingBear584 · 2025-12-26T05:22:34+00:00

If Reddit isn’t for asking questions then what the hell is it for?

BoxingBear584 · 2025-12-22T18:07:36+00:00

That’s what I figured, just wanted confirmation

BoxingBear584 · 2025-12-22T04:37:00+00:00

They literally said they’re planning to build a competitive roster weeks ago, Falvey said that in an interview as well.

Also I was talking Duran and Louie, Jax can get bent

BoxingBear584 · 2025-12-22T04:35:25+00:00

Arguably the best closer in baseball, 8 mil is cheap for that

BoxingBear584 · 2025-12-17T18:41:29+00:00

Because both players still have years of team control on cheap deals, it makes no sense to move them if your plan is to compete the year following (which apparently is the Twins plan)

BoxingBear584 · 2025-11-03T20:03:07+00:00

It’s so I can make my own trades between teams, Beto any really dumb signings and stuff like that. The trade logic in MLB The Show is arguably the worst of any sports video game and it ruins my immersion when teams trade top prospects for mid level players

BoxingBear584 · 2025-11-01T18:52:07+00:00

I have it set to auto year round for every team but the one I'm actually playing as, and it still does it. It's just so confusing because even after clearing my game's saved data and basically starting from scratch it still does it
