After years of pain for some players, EA has promised Madden NFL23 to make a “serious upgrade” to franchise mode.
EA shared news on blog This allows fans to dig deeper into what they can expect from the Madden NFL 23 franchise mode. This includes “all-new free agency features, how player motivation and player tags make franchise mode more reliable, scouting upgrades based on player feedback, and more.”
Free agency, active negotiations, motives, and player tags
The Madden NFL23 free agency has been overhauled with the addition of “additional evaluation periods, player motivation, and additional salary cap features” to give players more control and options in building their team. It will be like.
Off-season free agency hubs, on the other hand, have a complete visual overhaul aimed at keeping the most relevant information as accessible and clear as possible. There is also active negotiation and reputation to shake things a bit and put a little more pressure on you as an owner, while at the same time gaining control over you.
Active negotiations shift the number of players who can offer contracts during free agents. The first stage will only offer contracts to 5 players, the second stage will have a maximum of 10 players, and the third stage will lift the limit. This will prevent some teams from immediately signing all the best players.
Ratings make three rating offers each week, allowing players to “accept / reject contracts or not make final decisions without having to advance the week.” This gives the team the opportunity to negotiate with potential players without going a week. This is useful if the player needs to change direction if they are not interested in signing with you.
Player motivation is another major addition to Madden NFL 23’s free agents, with three motivations linked to each player. Motivation can be anything from players who want to chase the Super Bowl to players who want a franchise quarterback team, just closer to their hometown. These factors help determine how interested a player is in signing with you. Also, players who are more closely linked to the team may be willing to receive a reduction to participate. Here is a complete list of motivations:
- Super bowl chase
- Historical championship
- Head coach historical record
- Scheme fit
- Top of depth chart
- The team has a franchise quarterback
- Position mentor
- near the house
- Big market
- Tax exemption status
- Warm weather conditions
- Best offer
There are also player tags that add effects to teams and specific players. These tags are dynamic and are updated weekly depending on performance. Here is the complete list of player tags:
- Winner: Annual award-winning players will attract more attention during the free agency period and create fierce competition to win the largest name available.
- Franchise QB: The top QB and the QB ready to dominate the league hold a valuable position in the team. Not only do they appeal to specific motivations, but the team does not consider replacing them through free agencies or drafts.
- Bridge QB: Journeyman quarterback plays the most important role for the team. These players keep their seats warm while the team is considering a draft of the next heir to the throne.
- Future QB: Recently drafted and ready to take the reins. These quarterbacks are given the starting role as they approach the current starter in OVR.
- Day 1 Starter: An elite player ready to make a difference on the field at the moment of drafting. They are given starter priorities, secure their position and encourage teams to look elsewhere in future drafts.
- Future starter: These underdeveloped players have high limits, but may not be ready to play right away. Earn additional XP during your weekly training while waiting for your turn to begin.
- Bridge player: Bridging the gap in the entire roster, these players will allow the up and split time with the comers or inform the team that this position needs to be upgraded in the draft.
- Mentor: Veteran leadership cannot be understated. Weekly training XP boosts are given to all players who share a position with the mentor.
- Trade Goals: Whether you’re a young player with no realistic shots at the starting point or a veteran with no holes needed to fill, these players are placed in the team’s trade block in search of a better fit.
Franchise hub, scouting, draft class
The franchise hub is another big focus for the team behind the Madden NFL 23 because they understand that they can spend as much time off the field as they do on the field. In addition to ensuring that the hub has the team’s primaries and logo, activity feeds, scouting and more will be updated.
When it comes to scouting, more than 50 Scouts have been added to the Madden NFL 23, ensuring that “every position has at least one Scout at each level with that particular expertise.” We’ve also made it possible to scout multiple positions at each stage, and improvements have been made to reveal the attributes and information of prospective college prospects.
Draft classes include 30 new templates that further explain how these up-and-coming people are viewed, including Generational Prospects, 99 Club Prospects, High Variance Prospects, and Specialist Prospects.
These are just a few of the changes directed to Madden NFL23, and the team is preparing to share the details of the Face of the Franchise and Madden Ultimate Team in the near future.
Madden NFL23 will be released on August 19, 2022. You can see the impression of the closed beta version and the details of the late John Madden himself, the cover star.
