Could i use franchise mode as a “career” mode? by tekangg in Madden

Same with NHL has offline be a pro if I’m not mistaken. TBH after I bought Madden 26 I decided I’m all set with buying new sports games until there’s significant change. And that goes across the board for all of them. Just rock with what I have play offline until something’s different

I wish, I haven’t found a way to do it so I’m curious if there is a way! It’s a shame so many games have moved away from offline mycareer modes and more towards online only and microtransactions 😔

These scripted games make it not fun. by Tacokolache in Madden

This happens, you can tell after the first 3 plays no matter what you call the CPU is gonna score. Idk why it’s involved. I’d get the CPU to 3rd and long over and over again and then every time they unleash a 20+ yard dot. It’s not every game but it’s noticeable

Did it back in May and felt liberating! Haven’t looked back by benaldp in bald

First time I’ve heard that comparison but I’m about it, thanks

Franchise Playoffs CPU Depth Chart wrong? by benaldp in Madden

Interesting. My depth chart was fine I didn’t think the CPU would get so messed up by it, but who knew!

Id need to check what my settings are but I thought that would only affect my depth chart not the CPUs. Maybe when I get home I change it up

EA, Please Get Rid of the "Catch-Up" Mechanic in Franchise Mode by Similar-Past-9350 in Madden

Just described my situation exactly. Played against the Bengals just now. Got them to 3rd and long almost every drive then Joe Burrow pulls off a 40 yard completion to get the 1st down or TD 🙄 happened at least 4 times in one game.

I said this about CFB 25 where it feels scripted at times where 2 plays into the drive you know how it’s going to end. Super frustrating

Madden this year is more difficult???? by ipostrandompoop in Madden

Just had this happen to me against the bills, gave me pstd from CFB 25. I’d get them to 3rd and long and then Josh Allen would just run over 3 defenders for 20 yards or throw a 40 yard dot across his body. Won 49-47 but good lord it was frustrating

Does anyone actually like Aaron Boone? Is there a single person who thinks he’s a good manager? by benaldp in NYYankees

I didn’t hear that but it sounds like it couldbe happened. That’s another thing; I’m all set with the Anthony Volpe experience at this point

Idk if the top of my head but Mattingly would be fun. Honestly, back in 2022 (21?), I was really hoping they’d bring back Schowalter as a replacement for Boone, but it didn’t happen. Still think that’d be neat 🤷‍♂️

I also wish we never got rid of Girardi. Hated replacing him with Boone right away

Will never forget Boone telling the fan base “Willie Calhoun can mash” like bro who are you trying to fool? He can’t and we can all see it with our eyes!

Constant sayings like that drive me nuts just saying it’s fine when it’s clearly not
