After promising to fix some of the issues regarding its longstanding Franchise Mode, Electronic Arts has recently detailed some of the changes that will be coming toMadden NFL 21’s Franchise mode in a future update.
In a brand newblog postdetailing some of the changes, EA has announced that after some time carefully planning and implementing the changes, they have come up with some changes to the mode. This includes a re-tooled way of handling the game’s X-Factor and Superstar abilities, allowing commissioners to assign X-Factors to any player, a revamped stats UI, and much more.
Electronic Arts says that it’s currently targeting a mid-November release for the patch, which will be the first of three post-launch franchise updates. According to them, users also won’t have to restart a franchise to have access to the additions made in the updates, meaning that you can freely play through franchise mode now and not worry about losing any progress. In ourreview of Madden NFL 21, some of the biggest issues holding the game back was its many bugs and glitches and lack of franchise mode additions, so it’s nice to see EA attempting to fix things at a fairly rapid pace.
