Stamina is meant to behave more realistically, punishing play-spam, but it's going to need some tweaking. Where this system falters is in a way that actually affects the entire game. Each skill tree is presented in branches and going down one branch will shut out its opposite branch, so smart, future-focused decisions are made every single in-game week. A power run-heavy team may want to focus on improving their OC's ability to coach up pulling guards and protect the football, whereas a west coast offense would be better-suited improving QB protection and receivers' route-running and agility. Just like in an RPG, players will find themselves creating custom builds for their coaches. This extends from basic hiring and firing decisions to the much more interesting skill trees making their debut.Īchieving goals in weekly matchups will earn staff points that can be distributed however players see fit. Every Franchise player will have direct control over their head coach, offensive and defensive coordinators, as well as the player personnel department.
It starts with the new coaching management system. The exciting thing is that now Franchise will enjoy a similar rollout of content, but even on day one, Franchise is the best it's been in years. While MUT players won't like to hear that, they've received ample updates over the last decade and will still enjoy the live-service delivery of content all year long. Perhaps the surest sign of renewed focus in Madden NFL 22 is that Ultimate Team, the very lucrative reason Franchise mode has been ignored for so many years, has this year been left by the wayside itself. As a whole, Madden 22 is an inconsistent game, but Franchise is, at long last, the priority. Going on nearly a decade since the last sweeping changes to one of Madden's most popular modes, the wait has been agonizing, but it's finally over. However, the idea has rung true in one regard as it comes to the Madden series: the abandonment of Franchise mode. But, those of us who do play every year would argue against that, preferring rather to pick apart an annual sports game on the merits of its new, if sometimes subtle, changes. For anyone who's not a fan of sports games, it's common to think that "it's the same every year".
