![]() But the fact he is an older star who could conceivably retire soon lowers the return value to a second-round pick, because the team who gets the star won’t have him for long. EA Tiburon says it has “completely realigned the base value of Draft picks to work with new Player Value changes.” Moreover, “teams will have more nuanced perspectives of valuing players and draft picks from their own and opponents.”Ī note from developers expanded on this concept with an example: A star player might objectively be worth a first-round draft pick in a one-for-one trade. Madden’s franchise mode has had the means of trading upcoming draft picks since Madden NFL 13 in 2012. The trade logic overhaul will also address assets whose trade value is somewhat unique to professional American football: draft picks. Both of these incongruities are resolved with the patch, EA Tiburon said. In other cases, players whose archetype didn’t fit with the playbook scheme of their current team (a power running back, for example, in a system built for receiving backs) would be undervalued when placed on the trading block, too. Now the CPU will either expect more in the trade, or simply refuse such offers. Middling-rated players could sometimes get one-for-one trade value with stars simply because both were at the top of their respective teams’ depth charts. For example, a talented player who wasn’t a starter on his old team, but would be a starter on the one being offered, was viewed as a backup-level value by the old trade logic. This means fixing inconsistencies and issues where highly rated players were inexplicably less valued by CPU teams. The changes EA Tiburon’s designers described in a blog post on Wednesday are meant to make trades for superstars “closer to what we’ve seen based on changing perceptions of ‘realistic’ trades over the years.” Although very granular and technical in the areas they address and improve, the updates still answer long-running demands from Franchise lifers who felt the latest game did little to improve the core mode.Ĭentral to the changes on deck is a reworking of the game’s player-trading logic, and the overall player valuation that behavior rests on. X-Factor and Superstar Ability Customizationĭear god why was this not already a thing? Did EA think that players would not want to pick which abilities that their players would want? It’s something small but I would love it because I can customize players to fit my scheme and what I want to do.Madden NFL 21’s developers will launch, on March 4, the last of three rounds of updates promised for the game’s Franchise mode. I understand having quarterbacks decline but when Aaron Rodgers goes from a 90+ to a 78 in 2-3 years, you know there’s a problem. We have also seen older quarterbacks play well beyond age 34, which was typically when quarterbacks used to call it quits. This is obviously not very realistic as we have seen Brady and Brees play at a good level into their 40s. It is impossible to develop a quarterback who is older than 30. One of my biggest complaints about Madden 20 was that regression hits like a truck. These are features that I believe could be introduced. EA has given us a list of potential features that could be added in Madden 21 and Madden 22. With Weingarten being a developer for Madden 21 Franchise mode it seems promising that we will finally get something new for Madden 21 Franchise mode. It is extremely possible that we should expect another update like this in which it will not be able to carry over into existing franchises. As we all saw, those abilities were not included into franchise modes that were created at launch. Madden 20 saw something similar with a post launch update that added more offensive linemen superstar abilities. EA employee and Madden 21 Franchise developer Andre Weingarten (Swami_EA on twitter) has given us the idea and implication that there will be a major patch to Madden 21 Franchise mode in the next week. Yet, I don’t know if it will be enough to save Madden 21? (EA Sports)įranchise fans, this may be our moment. A major patch for Madden 21 Franchise Mode could be on the way.
