They did make changes to franchise mode; they have a new system for coaches that I think is interesting. The problem is it is full of bugs. I have a running back playing defense in a certain position. On a PS5 Pro It doesn't run smooth; it runs chunky. With the presentations, the halftime show is all out of sync. The receivers can't catch the ball if a defender slightly touches them. And if you sim a season, expect your quarterback to get sacked more than 50 times.
I do think this has the potential to be a great Madden. But a game should not be released with more bugs than an ant colony.
