EA Sports Responds to Madden 21 Franchise Mode Disgruntlement (#FixMaddenFranchise)

Fans of Madden franchise mode took to Twitter recently in a bid to #FixMaddenFranchise, with the hashtag ultimately becoming the number one trending topic in the United States.

Just as with FIFA career mode, Madden franchise mode has long been neglected, and when the updates to the mode were announced on June 30th for Madden 21 franchise mode; fans of the game mode were not at all pleased with the news.

With the list of fixes looking more like patch notes than updates for a brand new video game, the Madden franchise community was understandably upset, and the previously mentioned hashtag began to start flooding the internet in the franchise mode communities quest to have their voices heard and make EA Sports aware of their frustrations and concerns.

With mounting pressure to address the concerns of the community, Madden’s executive producer Seann Graddy subsequently took to Twitter and had the following to say about the situation, making the assertion that the franchise community is critically important to them:

With Madden 21 set for release next month, in all probability it’s a little bit too late in the day now to be expecting any substantial changes for Madden 21 franchise mode. EA definitely talk a good game though and with the concerns of the community addressed in this video, hopefully moving forward there will be more time and resources put into Madden’s franchise mode and the community won’t be left quite so disappointed for future Madden releases.

FIFA 21 career mode news is set to arrive next month, so here’s hoping we won’t be back with news of another community led movement come August…
