I used to spend alot of hours playing franchise in the older maddens. 09's franchise is horrible, players don't get better and it is so limited. All the old options are gone players doing have reactions an morale doesn't affect anything. I hate it, i was thinking of getting NFL Head Coach for the franchise cause you have more control

The olders maddens are better the new ones suck. the best Next gen sports franchise is nhl 09

I think achievements kind of killed Franchise mode for me.  Just feels like wasted time playing in Week 9 of the 2018 season.
